Alien Swarm SDK - OBJECTIVES - tutorial part 8

[AncientTerra]

How do i make multiple objectives ? like i make 1 and once that one is complete it triggers the next 1 ?

[toten30]

make a tut for a monster to go to a place > from a place to a another place ?

[maxovitsj]

@9rk9scout you cant load map in objects? that makes no sense xD

[Nudelgang]

Oh and also stairs and such as things that go off something (like steam of a big pipe)

[Nudelgang]

This is youre latest tutorial about mapping in alien swarm right ? You could make tutorial 9 about putting things on the map like weapons and ammo and other stuff (dont had to be linked with some one/thing)

[SuperWestSider]

That was a really strong tesla gun lawl

[csernayattila]

question: how can i add background music? bcoz ambient_generic and asw_ambient_generic didntt work

[Ghostreconunit666]

@csernayattila

u must create a asw_jukebox, then add a trugger to it.

[alextall95]

And you seems to like objectives better... I mean in other tutorials you didn't seem so enthusiastic but in this one at the beginning you seem to like doing objectives so much <3

[alextall95]

Question: If you want your map to be for 4 players do you have to put 4 info_player_start??? I guess yeah but i just wanna be sure

[sybercat6]

@alextall95 the game likes having 8

[NoBoDy9505]

can i make my own objectives?like seal the tunnel or search for survivors?

[NoBoDy9505]

@NoBoDy9505 lol very easy to make your own objectives :D

[ragheneration]

[19dash95]

[WGG25]

is it possible to make a kill_aliens obj with multiple alien types? i mean i want to kill for example 2 drones and 2 parasites and i want it to be in only 1 objective. if that's possible then plz tell me how. thx

[lordedvard8]

please show how to make that weapons spawn on the floor and ammo boxes n stuff like that

[sm1tty5569]

great tutorials :)

maybe now you could make a tutorial explaining how to use these entities?

asw_vehicle_jeep - Creates a drivable Jeep.

asw_bloodhound - Creates a dropship used to deploy, support and retrieve marines.

That would be awesome :)

[Metrulizer]

@sm1tty5569 My question answering seems to be spreading to this video...

I don't actually think asw_vehicle_jeep is finished, I don't really see it in the official maps..

asw_bloodhound is the old version of the bloodhound (I don't think it does anything), for the one you see in Deima Surface bridge you want a prop_dynamic with the model dropship.mdl

[Soulim95]

hi,je suis français et je fait des map aussi en vouloir faire les objective je me suis rendu compte que je ne réussi pas a faire l'objective_espace et l'objective_trigger pour hack un ordinateur .tu peut m'aide pliz

[maxovitsj]

@Soulim95dude i dont speak french. I speak english and dutch. So ask your question in english or dont ask it at all

[Soulim95]

@maxovitsj Hi, I'm French and I made also want to map the objective I realized that I fail to do the objective_espace and objective_trigger to hack a computer. you can help me pliz. (Ho ery sorry I copy the wrong test ^ ^ 'I have a copy of the french as English very sorry xD)

[ragheneration]

@maxovitsj he says he cant do the objective_space and the objective_trigger to go with a computer, can u help him

[Ghostreconunit666]

@maxovitsj

u can use an online translator....

[sybercat6]

@Ghostreconunit666 and all of the instructions are visually represented in the video.

[TheDarthNefarian]

@maxovitsj So direct I love how Dutch and German people are so direct with what they say XD. Not like us Americans who try to sugar coat everything and sound nice all the time.

[maxovitsj]

@TheDarthNefarian Well, yea.. What else should I do, I don't speak french, if he's gonna ask me a question in french.. im like.. derp :D

[michal1dlouhy]

I would appreciate Tutorial for creating vpk (addon file) + vtf (thumbnails/map texture etc) = finishing and finalizing map

[Metrulizer]

I'm still not exactly sure how laserable props work.

Tellmenao

Also because I see the word stairs i'll say that the stairs are just models, make a prop_static entity and search for stairs in filter.

Also thanks for the tutorials, combined with some others and i've started work on a 'first time mapping' campaign, but the lighting is being an *ss and the map won't start as a black night, so for now its daytime, with all the 'night lights' on.

[Metrulizer]

@Metrulizer And now I just thought about it and now I think it's an entity...

bleh.

[mrteddy6564]

@Metrulizer make an entity then right click and type in asw_prop_laserable. then choose a model and it should be good.

[jensaswe]

Awesome tutorial...

Just wondering how you can make an orbital scan of your map for briefing? ive seen some custom maps that has it.

[michal1dlouhy]

Hi I have problem. I made map, I run it, but my character in the game can not move - i can jump or turn around but I stay on one place. I tryed to delete and create new info_player_start but it does not help. In game I see in console red message "failed to find a pmarine spawn point."

[michal1dlouhy]

@michal1dlouhy hi i discovered what was wrong with the movement - the class of Snow object changed (maybe I did? smohew) . WHen I changed it back to proper class, everything was ok.

[macquine1998]

Dude, do you know how to place props, if i place props with the name: prop_detail and i run the map i get only the error .mdl :(.

Thx

Bradley

[asinusstultus]

@macquine1998 asw has barely no prop_detail

make them prop_static and it will work!

(ps in the model viewer you can see if the model can be used as detail/static/dynamic)

[RedNoahcreations]

@macquine1998 if u just need to place something like a table or a create, try using prop_static

[awells88]

Great tutorial! I have been looking for ways to do this. Im looking forward to more when you can!

[maxovitsj]

@MuhahaSP ur the guy from the stairs? maybe ill make one, but not just on stairs, if you want it, go collect some things people want (from all my sdk vids :P) should keep you busy for a while xD

then pm me and ill see what i can do tomorrow :)

[Warmach1nea]

maybe you can make a tutorial how to make a timer to escape like in the last official mission :) maybe its easy, then please write it :D

[maxovitsj]

@Warmach1nea use the objective_countdown, the nuke will go off if you dont make it

[XFuncCaRteR]

@Warmach1nea

Timers are lazy game design.

[nibblesaur]

@maxovitsj have you posted a tutorial on how to make stairs

[maxovitsj]

@nibblesaur why would i make a tutorial on stairs xD

its so simple :P

[StenzFlaens]

Great tutorial as always!

[phoenix352]

now i got a question after viewing all your tutorials and others i came by a common problem... weapons go though any wall or door i make i dont know why this is because i figured if i make a wall it should be solid .....

is there a way to make them solid?

[maxovitsj]

@phoenix352 no its something in the engine which makes the laser etc go through walls, make them thick enough and then it wont go trough :/

[phoenix352]

@maxovitsj well that sucks.... now making a thin wall makes your maps look unprofessional ... btw i just tried it in offline mod and it happens in the official campaign as well.... played this game for 20+ hours and only now i noticed this ...

dam logic... well thx for the reply anyways =/

[Xanco123]

I think that you should make a tutorial on how to make messages to tell the players what is going on!

[Xanco123]

YES!!! I have been waiting for this for ages!!!!

[mgrCichy]

I have a question: How make a fire? ( I want set something in fire ]:-)> )  HERE'S PYRO!

[kytech25]

I have an intresting issues ASW_Objective_kill_aliens objective seems like it is not complete or i am not doing something right, the issue is with the alien type ranger and mortarbug they seem to not have the count down on the uper left hand corner (i have multible objectives and they are all set to 10 kills. Any help or letting me know that this is a current issues would be welcome.

[death2rooh]

yo maxov make a tutorial on how to make the maps into campaigns please

[flameknight7]

is it possible to do a tutorial on adding music in certain events?

[QwertySkill]

You should make a tut on making a dedicated server, my maps done and I want my friends to play it with me, but I don't wanna pay 6 dollars a month for a host company. I just want it to appear on the steam server browser so people can play it for a couple of hours :/

[hlsghost]

@QwertySkill

Don't you just need to make it into a .vpk and host it normally on your own computer?

Then at least you can play it with your friends. Or if you send your friends the .bsp :D

[QwertySkill]

@hlsghost

I render the map. Then I open up alien swarm dedicated server, make it run that map. I can join it fine, but my friends need to have the map and it doesn't show up on the officail steam server thing. Is there any way to make it start auto downloading like it does in CSS? Or do they need to have the map?

[hlsghost]

@QwertySkill They need to have the map. If they have the map but can't join, you don't have the right ports open on your broadband router. Google up which ports needs to be opened :)

[AvatarFosco]

1. My objectives don't show up on the left side :( 2. can you make more than one asw_objective_escape or is only 1 allowed?

[hlsghost]

@AvatarFosco 1. They show up when they are updated for me. Otherwise I wouldn't know how to make them show all the time :P

2. There is no need for more then one asw_objective_escape. You can just make a trigger elsewhere and make an output to the same asw_objective_escape.

[AvatarFosco]

@hlsghost Thx

[xGMODTVx3]

Do you have Skype ? asw_objective_escape don't work .. please tell me that you have skype !

[maxovitsj]

@xGMODTVx3 ofc i have skype : maxovitsj

[dopeyduwde]

@xGMODTVx3

Do you have more objectives?

If so you must first complete those in order for the escape objective to work.

[mrpeanutsofdoom]

You rock max! I've been trying hard to add a custom scoundscript including a .wav file but cannot get it to work. Could your next tutorial include some information about ambient_generic and soundscapes perhaps?

[maxovitsj]

@mrpeanutsofdoom maybe ill make one on adding sounds i dont know yet

[hlsghost]

@maxovitsj I'd love if you did that. I would like to add some of my own sounds and couple them with triggers and such.

[willsparkes]

@mrpeanutsofdoom You would need to make a folder in the directory where your map is. Make sure the path in the entity options go to that path and you can add any sound you like. I've done it myself for counter strike source mapping im sure it will work in the same way. When your map is done and you want to release it, for CSS mapping I used a program called "Pakrat" which compressed everything I wanted into 1 map file. I think .vkp does that for you.

[dopeyduwde]

And thanks again.

Maybe your next tutorial can be on how to export a map so other people can play it, and how to make a full campaign. Like after you finish 1 map you'll go to the second map of the campaign.
