[randomboostsuperguy]

[0RobinHood1]

[adsfdsafdsafable]

Respawn time! how do you change it lol

[raceii]

Hi, do you know how to make so if i go into a zone i will "drop" my current weapon/weapons?

[Killthehorde]

I want to make a gun with only 1 bullet in it is that possible? Its a glock btw.

[Vaatrad]

I'm afraid I don't know how to do that. You might want to look at getting a script.

[XGamer95]

Try going to the weapons properties, press the SmartEdit button to turn it off and click Add. Type ammo for the key and 1 for the value. I think it would still start with a full magazine and that would just add 1 extra bullet, but try it anyway and tell me what happened.

[Killthehorde]

Yeah i did it with deagle it had 7 bullets and 1 extra bullet to reload.

[XGamer95]

Yea I don't really know how to do that than. You could try looking on the Valve website or ask on FPSBanana. Sorry.

[Killthehorde]

Kk Thanks anyway.

[fisherevans]

lol, try -6 for a value witht he deagle xD

[godoffini]

Forget it....

xD

[godoffini]

Anyone now how to make the gun have full ammo? some of my weapons do have full but the most of the guns only have 1 load... _

[silentsniper9000]

o ty and i have one more question say if you want the terrorists to spawn with a ak and the cts to spawn with a m4a1 how do u do that

[Vaatrad]

While I hear it is possible I've never worked that one out. Try asking elsewhere or just settle for guns on the floor.

[silentsniper9000]

for guns on the floor how do u make them start with max ammo?

[Vaatrad]

I think the way to do it is to go to enter the properties of the weapon, turn SmartEdit off and add a keyvalue with the name and amount of the appropriate ammo (see the link in the video description box).

[Shadowkiller198]

OMG U SOUND SO ANNOYING "sorry."

[kylebb96]

Dude this is so awesome! Thanks for the starting eq tut so helpful!

[Thiesson3114]

i am making a jail map what do i need to do to get only the terrorist getting knife

[Vaatrad]

I've heard it's possible to have the two teams start with different weapons but I'm afraid I don't know how to do it.

[DaManWitDaPower]

make a weapon stripe then put a weapon_knife where they spawn so that the CT only have guns

[lasercromSD]

THANKS!!!!! THANKS!!!

[ppitm]

How do I add an empty weapon?

[Vaatrad]

I don't know how to add an empty weapon. Have you found it in other maps?

[PK3ERFORL1FE]

hey i need some help

when i spawn weapons in the map like u do they only have 1 clip and no extra ammo, how do i spawn a gun with full ammo?

[Vaatrad]

Try entering the Properties of the weapon, turning Smart Edit off and adding an 'ammo' keyvalues with some value or if that doesn't work try using the ammo names and quantities as given in the link in the video description box.

[tek5828]

Hmm, you can jsut type ammo : 500 for example, but why need the names for specific ammo?? like ammo_388mag?

oh and how do i make it so a weapon has 200 rounds and the first clip? not 30?

[Vaatrad]

I think modifying the clip size might be a server mod rather than something you can do with a map.

[tek5828]

Damn, ok thankyou, i think that is the correct answer :D

[IG88AA]

well its a jail map and i dont want the ts to start with guns.

[Vaatrad]

While it's possible I hear, I don't know how to have the two sides starting with different equipment.

[cloudkiller2006]

maybe you can try making 2 of the gime_player_equip and a series of triggers to fire them seperatly, i'm working on this idea right now, but i'm not so good with the imput/output tabs

[Xenodamus]

have everyone killed if terrorists win.

[tek5828]

Have everyone start with knifes, then put a whole armory of guns near the ct's :D easy.

[IG88AA]

I got that part, but it still hasn't worked.

[Vaatrad]

If that doesn't work you can add ammo to the player's starting equipment, but that isn't quite as good.

[IG88AA]

Which name is it. I have tryed that ammo entity and ammo description and neither have worked.

[Vaatrad]

The ammo type you want to use depends on the weapon.

[IG88AA]

How do I control the extra ammo in the gun entities? I'm making a jail map and don't want to give the T's too much help.

[Vaatrad]

Try entering the Properties of the weapon, turning Smart Edit off and adding keyvalues with the ammo names and quantities as given in the link in the video description box.

[Ultravius]

When i spawn weapons the only have one magazine. Is there any way to fix that?

[Vaatrad]

Try entering the Properties of the weapon, turning Smart Edit off and adding keyvalues with the ammo names and quantities as given in the link in the video description box.

[101ges]

VaaTrad. it will be alot better if u tell or do a vid about Jail system cuz the other vid about it sucked..

[Vaatrad]

I'm a bit to busy to do another video but I will try to answer any specific questions you have.

[tycoonassassin]

Nice tut.

Im makeing a jail map, where the T's spawn with only a knife.

And the CT's will spawn with a set of guns.

Its like this on almost all jail maps, but I cant figure out how to set it for the seperate teams to spawn with different items.

Any ideas?

[RokonFTW1]

trencher45, learn basic English before caling someone gay

[Trencher45]

@the gay guy on viedeo: why youre talking so gay ??

[Vaatrad]

Is that how gay people talk?

[cssmalphas]

Hey, i like your tutorials, there good and got me into map making..

at the min im making a map, id im trying to make a shelf where when u walk near it u get equiped with the gun on the shelf, i could image it would be alot easyer just to have the weapon on the shelf so it could be picked up, but i was woundering if u could do this by using like a trigger, so when they walk in the trigger u pick up a gun, any words of advice ??

ty

[Vaatrad]

You could make a weapon spawner. This might generate excess weapons.

- Create a copy of the weapon in an out of the way place and name it.

- Create a point_template anywhere, name it and enter the name of the weapon into the Entity01 keyvalue.

- Create an env_entity_maker where you want the weapon to spawn from, enter the name of the point_template into the Template keyvalue and fiddle with the options and flags as you see fit.

- Have a trigger_multiple make the env_entity_maker Forcespawn.

[cssmalphas]

[guitarman66613]

Also Vaatrad, how would I get my server online so other real people can join? I made it a gungame and I made it, but only I can join.. All my friends say that the server doesn't exist, when I'm playing in it at that time. I can add bots, but no real people can join :[ If you could help me, that would be kick ass :]

[Vaatrad]

I don't know all the settings you need. sv_lan 0 is an essential one though.

[FireXoNoX]

how can i get full ammo on weapons?

(weapons on the ground)

[Vaatrad]

Try entering the Properties of the weapon, turning Smart Edit off and adding keyvalues with the ammo names and quantities as given in the link in the video description box.

[FireXoNoX]

thx:D

[guitarman66613]

Hey, how would you make it for a gungame? or is that in the server part and not the map?

[Vaatrad]

Gungame is a server mod.

[FireXoNoX]

how can i do so if i find an other weapon that weapon disapear when the new round start and i get the first weapon again.

sry my bad english.

[Vaatrad]

Does that not happen when you use a game_player_equip?

[FireXoNoX]

I mean, i wont to have the new weapon not the old .

[Vaatrad]

The simplest solution would probably to use guns lying on the ground rather than a game_player_equip.

[Nickker33]

when you edit kevlar. can you write what i need to write in the key

?_kevlar

[Vaatrad]

item_kevlar or item_assaultsuit.

[Nickker33]

Thx!

[SpitfireFang]

You´ve got some really nice vids out, and they have learned me alot. Thanks mate. I just have 2 questions... How do you have a figure (eg. player) on your front y/z window to compare with (also like the players in your created spawn)? And how do you know how many inches sertain things are? Thanks for all the help man :) Keep it up

[Vaatrad]

@ 1) You could just use a spawn point for comparing sizes.

@ 2) Sizes should be displayed next to selected objects. If there is an option to turn it on and off I don't know where it is.

[SwedSinger93]

the gun oly gets 30 in ammo.. how can i change it?

[Vaatrad]

Try switching off Smart Edit in the weapon's options and adding ammo keyvalues. See the link in the video description box.

[Atomicboy1994]

Hyee ,, Nice videos man!! it really helped me!

But one question,,

What camera are u usings xD

i really need one xD

[Vaatrad]

I recorded it with BB FlashBack from Blueberry Software.

[invadercheeze]

Everything about these tutorials is awesome! The choral music in the background, your voice, and not to mention how useful they are!

[holyrngerftw]

tnx,

yay map finished!

[holyrngerftw]

ahh and in the console it says:

Attempted to create unknown entity type wepon_knife!

[Vaatrad]

That should be weapon_knife.

[holyrngerftw]

emm plz help?..

i make the game_player_equip like u said tin the vid, i put a knife and a grande in it

and now players start with nothing

not knife or grande =(

[chelbig695]

how do u make the guns respawn?!?!?HELP!!! PLZ!!! ANYONE MESSAGE ME IN YOUTUBE OR REPLIE TO THIS COMMENT!!!

[Vaatrad]

- Create a copy of the weapon in an out of the way place and name it.

- Create a point_template anywhere, name it and enter the name of the weapon into the Entity01 keyvalue.

- Create an env_entity_maker where you want the weapon to spawn from, enter the name of the point_template into the Template keyvalue and fiddle with the options and flags as you see fit.

- Have the env_entity_maker Autospawn or name the env_entity_maker and have a button or trigger make the env_entity_maker Forcespawn.

[NafoK1]

you need some zoom in your yuts :/

[smil8888]

How do u modify the ammount of ammo for a gun u pick up?

[Vaatrad]

Try turning Smart Edit off in the weapons properties and adding new keyvalues with the appropriate ammunition type as the name and with the correct value (see the link in the video description).

[easyflips]

thansk alot!

[BOWLOFGRAVY1]

do you know (OR ANYONE how to make everyones weapons gone at the start? like no weapons at all

HELP

HELP

[Vaatrad]

Just use a game_player_equip but don't add any weapons.

[BOWLOFGRAVY1]

thanks, but how do u put ammo in weapons?

[Vaatrad]

I think if you turn off SmartEdit you can just add the ammo as with the link in the video description box.

[jaksaw]

please replie right how do you give guns to the counter terrorists only ? then different gun to the terroists e.g. ct have m4a1+deagle+knife then t have deagle+knife?

[Vaatrad]

I don't know how to do that.

[xXxJallzxXx]

Do u know how to make a weapon spawner ?

like when u press a button fx an awp would spawn.

[Vaatrad]

Make a copy of the item to be spawned somewhere safe in the map and name it.

Make a point_template anywhere in the map, name it and enter into the Template01 keyvalue the name of the item to be spawned.

Make an env_entity_maker where you want the item to spawn, name it and enter into the EntityTemplate keyvalue the name of the point_template.

You will want a button to tell the env_entity_maker to ForceSpawn.

You may want to fiddle with the options of the env_entity_maker.

[shirgit]

just have one problem when i put in the weapons in the map of mine the weapons isnt there when i play andit is so with other props to what is the problem pls reply.

[Vaatrad]

When props don't appear you may need to change the prop type e.g. static, physics, dynamic. I'm not sure what is wrong with the weapons.

[TheJester16]

What happens if you make a player start with a game_player_equip with a key value set to "weapon_deagle" set to 2

[Vaatrad]

You could just experiment but it won't do what you want it to.

[7Just7Lucky7]

how do you make weapons have a certain amount of ammo like say i wanted an awp with 1 ammo?

[Vaatrad]

I don't know how to have a weapon with only one round in it.

[xXxJallzxXx]

go to the weapons properties and click smart edit away now click add the type in key: ammo and in value: the number of ammo :D

[Kfitz92]

ok well,Hello Im the same guy from b4 btw, When i do all these entities it crashes my server, when playing in the map. Any other suggestions? Can you make like a spawner? for ammo?

[Vaatrad]

Make a copy of the entity which you want to spawn, name it and hide it in a safe location in the map. Make a point_template anywhere in the map, name it and enter the name of the entity into the Template01 keyvalue. Make an env_entity_maker where you want the entities to spawn, name it and enter the name of the point_template into the EntityTemplate keyvalue and fiddle with its options. Create a button or trigger to make the env_entity_maker ForceSpawn.

[Kfitz92]

Say i wanted to create multiple entities spawn when i press it just once do i, make more entity_makers, or Point_templates

[Kfitz92]

Let me clarify, Ill make an example, I want to spawn AWPS, so i create and weapon_Awp entity name it "awp" i Create the point_template and name it awp_temp and put in Template01 "awp" well when make the env_entity_maker when i add more than one it doesn't work, how do i get more than 1 awp to spawn off of one point_template?

[Vaatrad]

Try adding 'awp' to Template02 or 'awp2' to Template02. Alternatively make the entity maker ForceSpawn and then ForceSpawn again at a small delay, say 0.10.

[Kfitz92]

Sweet ok thank you for all your health!

[Kfitz92]

Ah i got it, i had some touching each other, and when i just moved them all away from each other it worked, Thank you very much for your help.

[Kfitz92]

The Ammo works, when i place a couple but when i place many different kinds of ammo and alot it comes up the same error

[Kfitz92]

When i put this entity all over, It comes up with an Error, No free Eddics, When i try playing the map. Suggestions?

[Vaatrad]

Just placing ammo on the floor might have a few problems but are you saying it doesn't work?

[Kfitz92]

Ok ill try that thank you very much.

[Kfitz92]

Hello, i was wondering if you knew how to give ammo later in the round. so no one runs out of ammo?

[Vaatrad]

I think that is easy to do with a server mod but building it into a map might be a little trickier. You could just litter the floor with ammo_whatever entities or try something a little more difficult if that doesn't work well enough.

[MoaiMaea]

What's the music in the background ? Where did you find that :) ?

[Vaatrad]

It is "Monteverdi - Io mi son giovinetta" so Google that and you should be able to find a free download.

[MoaiMaea]

Thanks man, found it :D

[billybob628]

i have my guns suspended off of the ground. Whenever i start my map, they all fall down. how do i fix this?

[Vaatrad]

Try creating an info_target and naming it, turning smart-edit off in the weapon, adding a keyvalue called parentname and giving it the value of the name of the info_target.

[Reinierbonis]

ya it worked when i made the new map ? fuck hammer gehe

[Reinierbonis]

i know don't try to fix, it, but it doesn't work ingame :/

[Vaatrad]

Try making a new extremely simple map with a game_player_equip and see what happens.

[Reinierbonis]

this doesn't makes any sense does it ?!

take a look

img45(dot)imageshack(dot)us/im­g45/2767/errorwy8(dot)png

[Reinierbonis]

umh i have a problem, i've added a game_player_equip and i added the "item_assaultsuit" and a "weapon_knife" and "weapon_ak47" and the value is 1 for all, and its not working ?, btw, when i make a a prop_static i can walk trough it ?!

[Vaatrad]

I'm not sure what the problem could be with the game_player_equip. Do players spawn with the standard knife and pistol or with nothing at all? Try fiddling the solidity option of the prop_static to fix that problem.

[Reinierbonis]

they start normaly with gun and knife

[hewit1cl]

Just wanted to let everyone know that i believe it is a gungame script problem, and not a mapping problem.. thanks for all the great tutorials vaatrad, keep the coming, maybe you should make a camera making tutorial next. food for thought.. :-P

[hewit1cl]

my friend said it could be somthing in the settings of the gun, but i saw nothing that would make it do that.

[hewit1cl]

So i got guns in my map, and sorry if this is an dumb question, but after every round they disappear? any idea on how to fix that, i'm making a gun game map, and i need the weapons to stay. the gernades and stuff stay but not the guns.. any ideas??

[hewit1cl]

Well pretty much after the 1st round they leave. and I would like them to respawn every round.

[Vaatrad]

I'm not sure what the problem could be.

[BuCk3Th34D411]

hey, im trying to use this for a Half-Life 2 Coop map. I cant seem to make it so when the players spawn, they do not have anything. I fllowed you step by step, but it didnt work :/

[Vaatrad]

These tutorials are primarily for CS:S. Try a player_weaponstrip or a trigger_weapon_strip.

[Kfitz92]

I named my map with a . and thats what did it, sorry for the confusion.

[Kfitz92]

When i hit alt-P is Says "Entity [Game_player_equip] has unused keyvalue "Weapon_m4a1" and when i run the map it says. "The command failed. Windows reported the error: "The system cannot find the file specified."

Any Suggestions?

[Vaatrad]

You are sure the game_player_equip is the problem?

[Kfitz92]

My Game Comes up with and Error when i try running the Map,I have tried many time to fix it, but nothing seems to work, Any Suggestions?

[Vaatrad]

Could you perhaps tell me the error?

[TheJester16]

okay, and so the key value for ammunition is simply "ammo" right? and then from there I set it to the ammount of shots I want to have put on the weapon?

[Vaatrad]

No, see the link in the video description box.

[TheJester16]

for the player equiped weapons from the start, there is a keyvalue called spawnflags, set to 0... should I worry about that?

[Vaatrad]

It should be fine if you just leave it.

[gardian90]

Thank you so much for these tutorials! I have finaly found a set of tutorials that actually make since.

[CrazyXDanX]

nope, had no spaces inn the file name.

[Vaatrad]

Have you tried pressing Alt+P in Hammer to check for problems?

[CrazyXDanX]

no, i did not know about that. Sorry..

[CrazyXDanX]

I need some help..i just made a basic map. With spawn points and weapons on the floor and such, but when i try too run the map it quickly flashes and brings me back too the CSS menu.

[Vaatrad]

You probably have a space in the filename.

[TheJester16]

is there a way to make each team start with their default pistols from the start, while having other equipment, or no?

[Vaatrad]

Not really. If you went to some trouble you could approximate it.

[Dojbot]

can you "Strip" peoples weapons?

[Vaatrad]

Do you mean while the game is in progress? And how many people's weapons?

[Dojbot]

In progress and every gun

PS i found out how to add custom texures if you would like me too pm you how too

[Vaatrad]

One person's weapons or a whole team's or everyone's?

I'll come to you if I ever want to add custom textures and I can't work it out myself.

[Dojbot]

Ok. what i have is a room you slide down and there is a load of npcs there they have too kill. so iwould like it when they slide down it it strips all there weapons kind of like a trigger

[Vaatrad]

If you are mapping for HL2 then try a player_weaponstrip. You might want to a trigger_once to output 'Strip' Ontrigger.

[Dojbot]

yeah... tryed that and it doesnt work.. also i have made ambient with a song and i have made a button too start the song.. and when and i made a "Stopsound" and it wont stop

[Vaatrad]

Try a trigger_weapon_strip, perhaps with 'Kill weapons' set.

For the ambient_generic make sure the stopsound input is actually firing.

[Dojbot]

thanks for all this.

[Dojbot]

sorry about this can you make a gun spawner so they press a button and it spawns a gun..

Your the best hammer tut you so fast at replying

[spikeman14]

Can you explain that more, i'm new to hammer and am making a map for my DM server, but I don't want players to spawn with weapons, which my game mode currently allows(as some of my maps don't have weapon spawns). Can you explain to me how to make the player strip entity actually strip the player and remove the guns so they cant pick them back up(if thats what strip causes)

[Vaatrad]

Which players do you want the weapons stripped from and at what point in the game?

Also, what mod are you mapping for?

[spikeman14]

Ok i want all the players to have the weapons stripped so they then go on and pickup the grav gun. Is this possible? if not do u know how to make a map load up a specific game mode?

Oh and the mod(the game) is garrysmod 11(the latest one)

[Vaatrad]

I'm afraid I only know about the mapping specifics for CS:S so I can't really help you.

[mgproductions2007]

do a tutorial on how to make floating guns that cant move and auto respawn them selves

[chizley]

Hello, and welcome to this instructional video XD

[VVarhammer]

Ummm i cant get css on source sdk when it says current game

[Vaatrad]

Right-click on Source SDK in your Games menu, click Properties then Launch Options and type in "-engine ep1".

[ma05k1]

1 more thing , i did soem research and i wanted the ammo on my gun already and i foudnt his works fine:

go on ur gun

click propites

then turn off smart edit

then add a key value

in the name type:ammo

in the value tpe:the ammount of extra bullets

click ok

then apply

adn there u go?!

[Vaatrad]

Aha, that's handy.

[UVxEllusionistx]

So if u wanna do like zombie or so u can give em 500 in extra ammo :O? :P

[Vaatrad]

I think you would need a server mod to equip extra ammo.
