Hammer Tutorial - Advanced Elevator

[Prucake]

Guys, at 3:04, Hold shift, click and drag and Hammer automatically makes Path track 2 for you. Just a heads up.

[AncientTerra]

This helped alot thanks.

Hai. I have same problem with elevators and sometimes with doors. If you test map and look how elevator is you can rotate that in SDK and get it right. I have solved few door problems with that way.

[takispap100]

Why don't you snap to the grid, it'll be much easier to place the path_track if you want your elevator yo go straight.

[takispap100]

@takispap100 I mean why don't you make the grid bigger when you try to line up the path_tracks?

[yairoka]

what the fuck? my elevator is suddenly reverse

[gytukas100]

One question.... How do you make... like.... uhh.... I clicked on the elevator door model,I went to the Sequences tab,there is a Idle,Close and Open sequence. How to make it so it changes sequences?

[lizardiaa]

do you know how to do an elevator with 1 button for 1 level. then so it shall stop by each levels and not just go forward? then if you press button 1 it goes to first level. then if you press button 2 it goes to second level. then if you press lvl 4 it goes to that level.... i want that sort of elevator :p and i know its abit more advanced... but im in need of it for the map im building.... if you know could you help me? please? :}

[Davidsh13]

Thanks man, I've tried to make that kind of elevator for a long time,

If you ever happen to visit Israel I'll buy you a Beer.

[Voidnaught]

Thank you so much for adding in the part about the elevator facing the wrong way, I had been trying to get an aircraft elevator working today and I spent hours searching for how to fix this problem. Thanks for the tutorial! Very well done

[Switchblade1117]

Um, I followed all you instrucions on this video, and my elevator is at dead stop, it wont move, even thought i changed the speed.... Suggestions?

[lennertmets]

I also think there is no difference between Nodraw and Invisible.

PS: You're agressive with your keyboard ;P

[deaddiet]

yup i need a elevator to whit 3-4 levels =[ =[

like so hard to find it out and so hard to find it anywhere

[therealQuackburger]

OH!!! you name the parent!!!! omg! thanks a lot!

[PhilipK71]

How is this advancded? You don't know the difference between and invisible and nodraw and don't know how to fix the oritation....

[Simon4romDk]

what if you want to get down? and if its up and you want it to get down to where you stand???

[TorQueMoD]

You know its a lot easier if you simply "Parent" the model to the func_tracktrain. That way you don't have to make the func_track_train bigger than a 16 x 16 unit cube. Just name your func_tracktrain "my train" and then in the prop_dynamic's Parent field enter "my train" and you're done. No need to actually build a func_tracktrain around your model.

[neztman]

if i want a elevator with 3 levels, you know, like a 3 lvl building with one elevator, and then 3 buttons for each lvl, like a "real" elevator, can you help me?

[dfcvsd]

What's the invisible box around the elevator for? I didn't get it.

[brutecm830]

Can you make this but without the func_dynamic elevator, and just a prop elevator?

[AkitaDillon]

Uhh...I'm not quite sure what you mean, the elevator model you can change into whatever, as long as you parent that prop to the func_train. You don't even have to use a prop just make a surface that is a func_train. If this isn't what you were asking people be more clear.

[brutecm830]

Uhm, I mean just a block/brush.

And with block elevators you can't parent because its not an entity..

So that's what I was asking what I would do because you can't parent it.

Is that any clearer.;o

[AkitaDillon]

If you have just a block or a brush, any type of brush that you want to use just make it and presss CTRL + T and in the class just type func_train. Does this make sense? I'd make a video showing you if you want.

[brutecm830]

Yeah I get it, but make a video anyawys.

xD I like your videos.^^ And It wouldn't hurt to hep a few other people that wouldn't get it.

[AkitaDillon]

Ok, i'll make a video, not tonight though, I just bought RE5 lol

[brutecm830]

Cool.^^ It's a good game, but realllyyyy low replay value.

[kevinovecka]

thx

[kevinovecka]

where did you found elevator textures?or elevator prefab?thanks

[AkitaDillon]

Sorry I didn't reply (if I didn't). Do you mean the model of the elevator? Just make a dynamic prop and for world model type elevator and you should find it.

[chiter200]

Do you know why i dont see elevator on my map? also half-life 2 Death Match?

[tycoonassassin]

so how can we make it go up and down, but only once it has stoped at each end (ie. it wont change direction mid track) Also: making doors:1 for the elevator itself and one each for top and bottom that open and close at the right time

[jammerthegreat]

To fix the problem of the lift spawning or being th wrong way...go to the elevatar properties...flags...fix orientation! that should do it!...nice vid but i recomend visiting half-wit2...where u can find oout how to make those doors what are in the game hl2!
