Source SDK Tutorial - ROCK FALLS OF DEATH

[Minigun101]

I CAN'T SELECT OBJECTS OR CATEGORIES PLEASE HELP!

[3kliksphilip]

@Minigun101 Um, what happens when you try? Which screen do you get to?

[Minigun101]

@3kliksphilip Nevermind, I think I got it.

[Minigun101]

Oh, so this is how they do it on dynasty warriors...

[AustinFromCA]

is there any way to make a boulder do in a path or make it go down a hallway?

[3kliksphilip]

@AustinFromCA You mean, realistically or scripted?

[AustinFromCA]

@3kliksphilip well, im trying to make a deathrun map and i wanted to make a boulder break out of the ceiling and roll straight down a hallway, so i guess that would be scripted. I tried a trigger_push but that didnt work

[3kliksphilip]

@AustinFromCA Go to the trigger_pushes flags properties tab.

[AustinFromCA]

@3kliksphilip tried it and it still did not work, i was thinking about trying to parent it to a track train or something, hopefully i'll get it working, and thanks for responding =]

[Minigun101]

@AustinFromCA Like in Indiana Jones? Cool.

[AustinFromCA]

@Minigun101 yup, I still can't find out how to do it =/

[Minigun101]

@AustinFromCA Maybe it's something related to that train elevator video he made.

[MrFirefox201]

I downloaded the map and placed into source SDK for Day of defeat, currently I just go through the boulders how do i fix this?

[3kliksphilip]

@MrFirefox201 I'm not sure, have you tried remaking them?

[MrFirefox201]

@3kliksphilip Yes I made remade everything again, still no luck, I tried placing a trigger parent with the rock, the boulder kills me now, but it stops dead in its tracks when it collides with me. Very odd indeed :S

[chaddcl0ps]

Really liked to tut! I have a trigger_multiple in place to set the boulders off and a trigger_remove at the bottom to remove them.

I need a little help. The point of my map is to dodge to boulders. How can I make it so it resets, so the next guy who makes it to that part of the level can experience the same thing as the guy before him? Instead of the boulders just constantly going off.

[3kliksphilip]

@chaddcl0ps I don't know what you mean. Please explain how 'resetting' is different to simply spawning boulders at the top and removing them at the bottom repeatedly.

[ChrisChanArchive]

Cool idea, and nice video.

Have any idea on how to make it so when the boulders collide with a brush, or the bottom of the cliff that leads off the map, they are removed?

Thanks.

[3kliksphilip]

@ChrisChanArchive trigger_remove

[TifgoCS2]

James :D Dude, you're awesome.

[NinjaKittyLOL]

You sound like squidward at the beginning

[3kliksphilip]

@NinjaKittyLOL Thanks for the support

[krutelut]

How can i do so my buttom destroy after i pressed/shoot it :)?

[3kliksphilip]

@krutelut Go to the outputs of the button

onpressed

(name of button)

kill

OnDamaged

(name of button)

kill

Be sure to make these outputs trigger AFTER what you want the button to do, or else it will just destroy the button.

[krutelut]

@3kliksphilip

Thanks :)

[spy111kill]

help! rocks dosent hurt my. what i do?!

[3kliksphilip]

@spy111kill Make them bigger. And heavier. an FASTER.

[BUGHUNTER6]

thanks for all your help, finally some creative and original tuts.

[Linkinzz]

Wow, you sound a whole lot different here :D thx for all your tutorials man, helps me out a lot!

[Pylons88]

If I wanted the boulders to be triggered by a player walking into an area I would use trigger_multiple right? And what would be the outputs?

[3kliksphilip]

@Pylons88

onstarttouch

(name of point_template)

forcespawn

[Pylons88]

So I got the rocks to fall properly but for some reason my rocks dont hurt the player and if you run into them you go through them instead of them pushing you back.

[3kliksphilip]

@Pylons88 Strange, I don't know why that happens.

[Pylons88]

srry if its been asked already but how did you make the button at the start that triggered the rocks to fall?

[3kliksphilip]

@Pylons88 Download the example vmf and see for yourself.

[XMADKILLARX]

my dad is calld simon and my mums new boyfrend is calld jim WTF MAN!!!!! lol do you now me?

[3kliksphilip]

@XMADKILLARX Of course I don't (k)now you, Sam.

[casdfdfsdfds]

@3kliksphilip Wi....Win...

[3kliksphilip]

@casdfdfsdfds Best. Name. Ever.

[BlockLand100]

"Ahh! No. Noo!" XD i saw the EXACT boulder that hit you first. if i was there i woulda warned you. Then i woulda got smashed also because i wasnt watching for any boulders heading to me. Soo, not much of a point of it. but still hilarious :D

[MrCookieBee]

Is there any reason why i cant put the object to round?

[3kliksphilip]

@MrCookieBee Not that I can think of with that description of the problem :P

Have you selected the block tool, then chosen 'sphere' from the drop down list at the right hand side of the screen?

[Soulslayerzx]

Wait, so wouldn't this lag up the map and close the game your running on, isn't there a lifetime for the boulders? Or can it be removed when it hits somewhere that the character can go through? Like when it touches a wall and that wall collides only with the player.

[3kliksphilip]

@Soulslayerzx Yes, yes and... uhhh?

[Soulslayerzx]

@3kliksphilip: I'm saying like, what entity can I use to make the boulders dissapear from a map when it touches a block. It would seriously lag the map real bad. Of course I'm not going to have a player be able to see the wall. Anyways, any tutorials on custom entities?

[flaarisse]

can i make it so the boulders break when touching the ground?

[3kliksphilip]

@flaarisse Give them a value for health, then make a trigger_hurt block that does that amount of damage, change its flags to choose what in the level can be damaged by it. Untick 'clients' or it will kill you too

[flaarisse]

@3kliksphilip But i would have to make a Trigger_hurt block on all the terrain? to let the whole terrain damage it?

[3kliksphilip]

@flaarisse Place the trigger_hurt where you want the block to go before it's destroyed

[flaarisse]

@3kliksphilip But it the trigger_hurt doesnt ''guide'' the physbox? i can place a trigger_hurt anywhere but the physbox doesnt go there automaticly

[3kliksphilip]

@flaarisse No, it won't go there automatically. That's why you place the trigger_hurt where the boulder should be destroyed. You playtest it to see where the boulders go.

[ponyisasquare]

Your videos are kindof amazing!

[ThePhoenix1351]

I did this exactly to the tutorial, but i made only 1 rock spawn. But what happened: EVEN THOUGH I SET THE LOGIC_TIMER, IT SPAWNS ROCKS CONSTANTLY LIKE 9000 ROCKS! LOL!

[3kliksphilip]

@ThePhoenix1351 It's just a matter of tweaking the options.

[Nolo393]

HELP when i type in Func_button then make the Func_butten it dispeers :[

[3kliksphilip]

@Nolo393 Are you searching for it in the entity browser, or have you selected a block and pressed ctrl+t on it?

[bigmacofawesome]

Wow, this really helped me with a boulder slide that blocks a path in the l4d1 authoring tools. I really thank you sir!

[IWaWorl]

1:21 = i call you James FTW! :P

[nurgle01099]

I have a question... how can i make a rope attacked to something like a npc, or a prop_physics?

[3kliksphilip]

@nurgle01099 You could try parenting one end of the rope to the prop_physics, but I can't guarantee it will show up. It certainly won't act as rope that will restrain an object, you'll have to use a phys_lengthconstraint entity or something similar for that. If the rope doesn't show up, download de_tergiversate from my website, it has the vmf file for the map included and will have an example rope dangling from one of the buildings.

[Foxtrek64]

That rocks health is OVER 9000!!!

[MegaCrack5]

i still dont know how to make jail's have u a vid or something?

[SonicXRox]

hey...i love your tutorials!

i just have 1 question...can you make a tutorial showing how to make something like that hill you have in this video?

thanks

[3kliksphilip]

@SonicXRox Watch my tutorial on displacements

[AnimationStationS]

What were the settings you made the house so it only fell down once damaged?

[3kliksphilip]

@AnimationStationS Change the 'physics to override motion' and 'health to override motion' values.

[AnimationStationS]

@3kliksphilip >.< nvm...

[loenning12]

@AnimationStationS You go under flags and press start asleep :)

[AnimationStationS]

@loenning12 thanks.

[iClubVO99ViP2]

you funny



[FunnYpivOTkID]

hey again i love the ending lmao

[3kliksphilip]

@MrRichie567 Oooh, that thing. Go up to View, Screen Elements, select everything.

[3kliksphilip]

@MrRichie567 I don't know what the 'move selected' menu is, could you give me a time on this video where I show it?

[3kliksphilip]

@MrRichie567 ...a move selected menu?

[UltraSketch]

My rock is name Terry

[3kliksphilip]

@UltraSketch Aww

[TheDiogopombo]

how do you have make that terrain??

[3kliksphilip]

@TheDiogopombo Displacements

[TheDiogopombo]

@3kliksphilip thanks i have made it :D

[OwningProduktion]

I think that name that u use in ALMOST ALL of ur vids, is "James" xD

[keshaz12]

Is that the fake dmm?

[3kliksphilip]

@keshaz12 I guess you could say that. It's a load of physics objects put together

[dutchkiller66]

@3kliksphilip @dutchkiller66 Thx but now i got another problem this happens me the first time im getting this Error while im Converting map to BSP with F9:

The command failed. Reported the Windows error: "The system can not find the file specified.

I will be Happy if you can help me :S

[3kliksphilip]

@dutchkiller66 It's a generic problem, you'll need to PM me your compilelog for me to be able to help you. Be sure to delete the txt file first and then to remake it, or I will not be able to see the latest version.

[xbodude]

how did you make those house walls collaps

[3kliksphilip]

@xbodude func_physbox

[dutchkiller66]

@3kliksphilip Can you fast answer me im making map atm and i need ur help with this how to make those rocks without a button???? that they auto fall

[3kliksphilip]

@dutchkiller66 You can tick 'motion disabled' in its flag properties. (The boulders' properties)

[Willerin1995]

Man I love your tutoirals man; helped me heaps.

People on facepunch dont seem to be a fan of you

[3kliksphilip]

@Willerin1995 They're unreasonable. I thought they might have had a point, but even when trying to compromise, all they wanted to do was troll. Plus most of them haven't even finished a map themselves. Heck, some of them tried to make rival tutorial series on youtube... didn't finish that either!

[S1L3NTxB3ASTLY]

I used something like this in my new Minigames map I'm making. (I'm giving you credit :D) thanks (:

[knockoutgmod]

Thanks for this tutorial - iti works great!

But, I want to write on the ramp that the boulders go down "Race to the top!" how would I be able to do that? I have looked for a tutorial on inserting words into your map but I couldn't find one.

Thanks for your response.

[3kliksphilip]

@knockoutgmod You can either make a custom texture (With the writing on it). Alternatively, you could make each letter out of blocks. The former choice is the neatest, but is more complicated. The latter will take a bit of time, but will work if you work on it for a while. You can find prefabs in fpsbanana.

[knockoutgmod]

@3kliksphilip

Thanks for the reply - it really helped.

I will always appreciate someone who has hundreds of videos out, with 1000+ views on them all, and still finds the time to respond to questions like these - thank, and I subbed :D

[3kliksphilip]

@knockoutgmod Thanks :)

[Thehelper123456]

All though I didn't require James and the rest of his family (The falling rocks of death) it did help me make an infinite explosive barrel spawn. Thanks!

[equaleyez187]

"oohhh, let's see if it works... HERE IT COMES! Here are the balls! It's working WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII" love it

[Themoo316]

Dude, I Love all of your videos.

[alextkint]

k i putted a window but whezn i play it desapears and its not a window then but just an empty hole pls help

[3kliksphilip]

@alextkint Please don't ask on more than one video.

[QuincytheDestroyer]

Lol the house suicides.

[alextkint]

how do u copy things and how do u cut pieces out of a block?

[3kliksphilip]

@alextkint ctrl+c to copy and ctrl+v to paste. And please don't cut pieces out of a block, it gets messy.

[EMOoftheFUNK]

rocks fall you die

[GarryIsac]

the end...Ahhhahah funny end

[3kliksphilip]

@Ipwnall191 Set the 'Physics to Override Motion' option to a larger value.

[TheCGIMaster]

i dont have anything on my righthand screen!

[3kliksphilip]

@TheCGIMaster Go up to VIEW, screen elements, and tick everything

[TheCGIMaster]

@3kliksphilip ok thx that solved it :D

[1nicolai7]

you should have stayed in the house :D

[naruto30002]

lol Pita ! that just made this video much better !

[krishnadefier]

"Weeeee!" "Oh no! Noo! Nooo!"

Even if things got muddled up a bit there, it does one good thing. It shows us how, as map developers, it's easy to forget a step, and to keep on trying! Good Video!

[kidsranqefan056]

lmao james

[turtleshells118]

do you have a cold?

[3kliksphilip]

@turtleshells118 No, you just didn't watch past the mocking-of-other-tutorials I did at the beginning.

[Oggy250]

Where can I find this map link doesn't work :)

[3kliksphilip]

@Oggy250 Works for me

[StarwolfXI]

Man i love you, Not only do you make mapping interesting with your Gooberish way of randanimity, but you obviously love to map, plus your informative and make it simple enough for any tea total-er to understand. Gold star for you!

[noname1649]

wait, so you can test the level in hammer?

[3kliksphilip]

@noname1649 No

[Arstru24]

Problem solved. Nvm

[Arstru24]

the "move selected" is grayed out.

[rubentuben95]

the ballsocket thin doesnt work for meee :(

[conprodman]

WHO IS JAMES THE BOLDER!?!?

[swemans]

how did u make that hill? i mean not a flat surface ? sorry for bad desc but i rly need help xD

[3kliksphilip]

@swemans Displacements. I have a tutorial on it

[MasterHaloDude]

poor house XD

[TheGAMER367]

What you could do to make the house smash more realisticly is be making the shapes func_physbox(which you did), but then add in flags(or outputs)"on damaged break", or something like that and then cut the blocks into random shapes and make THOSE func_physbox to simulate it smashing into lots of pieces. That was a mouthful.

[3kliksphilip]

@TheGAMER367 The tutorial wasn't about making houses.

[TomatoSoup3211]

I like how you name your rocks...thats cool... :P

Your an amazing mapper....keep it up:D

[bossrdt]

@3kliksphilip

tkx :D

[bossrdt]

tkx :D

[bossrdt]

@3kliksphilip

i didnt know were to put this question, because this tutorial as an "logic_timer" i think that is an good video for my question. So here goes:

i want to make an glass that breaks when 10 or 15 seconds have passed from the begining of the round can you make an tuto. or tell me how to make that

[3kliksphilip]

You could make a trigger_once block around the spawn points, then in its outputs

onstarttouch

(name of glass)

break

After delay of... (then you choose the number of seconds in a box at the bottom)

[Maranthiss]

you ass my name is james :( i am a ROCK

[eloyADAN]

and were gonna call this rock james lmao awesome :D thanks for the video

[birthnight]

lol - this is a great tutorial - - - "oh this is getting messy!"

[Haxorinatorman]

what do you use to record

[3kliksphilip]

Nothing special

[Haxorinatorman]

@3kliksphilip whell can you tell me what you use ? cause i want a recorder because fraps sucks!

[3kliksphilip]

I use fraps for games, hypercam for desktop programs

[ModsForHalfLife2]

That would be an awesome gamemode! It exists though, doesn't it?

[valrodo]

Can TF2 support spheric brushes? I've been trying to mess up with a boulder lately, but each time I load the map with the sphere it just crashes.

[3kliksphilip]

Yes it should be able to. Don't make it too complex.

[Jcs575]

1:33  ITS OVER 9000!

anyways, thanks Philip, your the best :P

[DanishWorrior]

The same thing happended to your map after some time.. i downloaded your map and tryed it! and it said CYtLinkedList overflow after like 1 minute

[DanishWorrior]

Help! this works but after a few seconds it closes down counter strike and comes with an Engine Error! its says "CYtLinkedList overflow!"!! and i just maked 6 balls and they spawn between 5-7 seconds!! HELP!

[3kliksphilip]

I can't believe you commented about this, even though looking down the comment list will show other people with the same problem.

[DanishWorrior]

the some thing happended in your map

[DanishWorrior]

same*

[TrackieISC]

I dont think it will crash if u make the rocks health to 50 or something, they will break, and some new will spawn. Could that work?

[3kliksphilip]

@TrackieISC I haven't counted how many it takes. Just make sure the numbers are kept down, in one way or another.

[ipexnec]

it won't start up the right map any clue why

[3kliksphilip]

@ipexnec Not with the description of the problem you've given me. Try removing any spaces in your maps name.

[pizzamuncher007]

I get a "CYtLinkedList overflow!" after i randomly shut down.

[3kliksphilip]

@pizzamuncher007 Too many physics objects at once.

[wakerzeco]

i know this isnt about the toturial... but im doing a jail map and i'm making the Football room, could you please tell me how to make a ball? i make it but it seems... its too heavy! i can only move it like... 2inches... Help please :S

[3kliksphilip]

@wakerzeco Make it material type plastic.tiny

[wakerzeco]

thanks a lot :D it works *-*

You Rock!

[new2lw]

lol, the last 3 seconds crack me up.

[SuperDeathskull]

like the names of your pet triggers

[Willsuitt1]

I can easily under stand,

[shaneodonovan123]

@willsuitt1 someone kept using incorrect grammer like "plzz" in their question

they asked this question on all of 3kliksphilips's videos

i can easily understand this tutorial :P

just not that persons grammer

[HeavenSeven88]

it always crashes for me after like 4 spawned

[MusicF4]

how did you make the block looks like a rock?

[MusicF4]

get a .vmf to .bsp converter

[SgtSHIFTY2010]

how did it break down the house?

[pavkata99]

tnkx cool and pls some on help me I wanna download the source sdk and on steam it says the servers are too busy pls help

[HeavenSeven88]

download link dumbass

[3kliksphilip]

@TheAasan Displacements

[niklasvp]

WEEE

[lolpie24]

i love it how you give the entities proper names :)

[MoltenMetallic]

Awesome tutorial and map. I downloaded the map and it works perfect until I die, at which point CSS and Hammer crash. If anyone knows a solution to this problem, I would be most grateful. Also, it might have more to do with the round ending rather than me dying, because it seems like the whole thing crashes at about the time the new round would start and keeps going for a few seconds while I was dead.

[3kliksphilip]

@MoltenMetallic It is a problem with all of these physics objects. Try making fewer of them and it might not crash. Try and pinpoint the problem... if you're interested.

[shaneodonovan123]

if i shoot the house it falls appart...is there a way to make the boulders be the only things that move it?

[3kliksphilip]

@shaneodonovan123 Make it take more physics or health to override motion

[shaneodonovan123]

explain further please?

i'm not great with sdk

[3kliksphilip]

@shaneodonovan123 In the boulder's properties there should be a HEALTH TO OVERRIDE MOTION and PHYSICS TO OVERRIDE MOTION property. Set the first to 0 and the physics one to 100000

[shaneodonovan123]

thanks :)

i would subscribe if i hadn't already

[Sandy1574]

It will make a good climb leevl!!! Just make its time less cuz u got raged xD
