I'm storm_surge

[TheTeamAVO]

Anyone going to faint

[TheTeamAVO]

Hello I'm storm_surge and your video is pretty funny

[cabalonlinenapzor]

if you use a door, play it without sound, its works :p

[cabalonlinenapzor]

the sound dosnt stop after 10 seconds can you help me?

[Darqastic]

In l4d2 I want to trigger a survival start by shooting a gascan. Can you tell me what I need to set up? I have the understanding on how to get fire to appear in-game, so whats next?

[totallyupdowns]

How do you make it so you need to go somewhere and push a button to stop the alarm?

[isthepooready]

that would be cool if a panic event happend every 30 seconds

[totallyupdowns]

@isthepooready you can do that with console commands

put in a cfg

director_force_panic_event; wait or delay i don't know 30

[unworthySpartan24]

Problem: I try to run the map to see if the panic event worked but it says in the black box thats pops up before L4d is launched it says in red letters Entity Logic_timer (a bunch of numbers) Leaked!........I dont understand what the problem is someone plz help me fix this problem

[jonahdude999]

@unworthySpartan24 it means that there is a gap somewhere in your map, fix it by drawing a box (6 walls, not one big one) making sure that they do not have any gaps in between them (you can use these walls as a sky box)

[batwat]

@proceo12 you have to nav edit before your map will be playable

[darththork99]

@proceo12 The area might not be walkable, check if it is.

[PivotPluspp]

My alarm doesn't turn off and ive done it exactly like you.. o.O

[FunnYpivOTkID]

I see this stuff works in l4d2 but after the panic event is over there are no more zombies on the map! What do I do?

[masterduke22]

i did exactly wat u did and it works but i dont want a timer, i want a button to shut off the panic event and i want to know how to do that can u help me out bro?

[RateMaster22]

This is NOT called Panic Event, the creators of L4D2 call it "Cresendo Events"

But This video saved my ASS. Thanx man.

[Mateuuuuusz]

If you have problem with sound that doesn't stop, uncheck Is NOT Looped. It should help. If you have smoething like (MOB) 59.17: MOB SPAWN ERROR: ANYWHERE = Empty spawn area set, you need to add navigation.

[ejay201]

where could i get hammer program??

[dessy51]

how would i make a generator like they did on the passing, and the sacrafice, where i have to turn on a button to start it to attract a horde?

[Marcusyaho]

This really helped me! Thx

[Firestar1202]

how would i go about making a different kind of panic event, for example, a barricade that needs to be burned down, while attracting a horde, or something like the ones in the real l4d1 campaigns

[nfsmw0099]

thanks for the door alarm tutorial.. but is this a 1 time open thing? or if you close it then open it again will it start a panic event again?

[goldendisc]

Words cannot express how useful I found this video. Thank you ever so much. I've been doing the tutorials Valve provides but I prefer this sort of tutorial. Again, thankyou! I now have the means to make my ideas reality.

[illusionist123546]

i get an error saying : "(MOB) 189.17: MOB SPAWN ERROR: ANYWHERE = Empty spawn area set" all the time for the maps i been trying to make...could sum1 tell me what's wrong? ty

[BUGHUNTER6]

Hell yeah, I learned alot of this ... !

[Firestar1202]

Is it the kind of the same process for an alarmed car?

[imperialcrypt]

The timer just wasn't working for me. It wouldn't stop the alarm. Maby things have chanaged in Left 4 dead 2, but I used the logic_relay instead to replace the timer and it worked .

[l4dbros1518]

do you know how to make a key to a door? so its locked untill you pickit up?

[NuclearArbitor]

@l4dbros1518

your going to have to do something with variables. you could either do it like a scavenger door, which would likely require custom models and animations to look right, or with a button you press to open a door. either way look at examples for those

[l4dbros1518]

@NuclearArbitor thanks :)

[WorldofLevelDesign]

@l4dbros1518 You have to set up input/output on the door and use a trigger for the key to unlock the door.

[l4dbros1518]

@WorldofLevelDesign thx :)

[misterputty]

@WorldofLevelDesign: Thank you so much for the tutorials provided, by far the best available. I've read you post on how to unlock a door by use of a switch. (L4D2) I've tried to using a static_prop - can't get it to work though. What's the cluse to having a prop trigger a door on 'open/use' interaction with player?

Stuck on this one - please :)

[AcidFalco]

How do you make it so theres a button that stops the panic event once it is started

[Blacktronics]

Learn the basics of Hammer -.-

[AcidFalco]

@Blacktronics alright then if your so good at it then why dont you tell me smart ass

[Blacktronics]

cuz i want you to find it out by yourself

[AppsXp]

can i downmlaod this map

[WorldofLevelDesign]

@AppsXp Yes. Check out my video trailer HotelSwiss and there is a d/l link

[ghjgdjgyd]

@WorldofLevelDesign where can you download that?

[teedonster]

when i get l4d 2 i will use l4d 1 characters getting killed by chargers in a custom map. cant wait

[NuclearArbitor]

not anytime soon, you play as l4d2 survivors in l4d2, it doesn't matter what map you play

[ferretsshadow]

how did you get the zombies to pop up

[WorldofLevelDesign]

build navigational meshes and insert info_director. I have a tutorial on that. Look through my L4D playlist.

[ebrahim23]

You rock dude you've helped me so much :)

[XeKia]

You just saved me a huge headache of reading huge tutorials on how to do this, you're the man, man.

[Ricksdetrix]

Man.

[Alex2the3gr8]

How do you make a button to stop a panic event?

[erikouwehand]

I have q. in l4d in evry map or cam you had other zombies, city zombies, hospital zombies, country side like, you know? how do i set to one of them , i want hospital kind

[SimonGuy10]

Hey WorldofLevelDesign... How do I make a message on a button like they do at panic events so people know what to press e.g. Press Button To activate horde

[lildudesvideos]

mine doesnt stop either and i followed ur advice! help me!!

[UnrealEdNerd]

good video man thanks, but i have a problem. My sound dosnt stop after the 10 seconds. Im not using a door, im using a trigger, but ive applied all the same principles that you did here.

any help?

thanks

[WorldofLevelDesign]

Thanks man.

The only thing I can tell you is to doulbe check your entity's names and the output properties. Make sure they are all set up properly. Most often common mistake is the wrong names. Also doulbe check your logic_timer

[tisbufferzz]

Mine will not stop either

[WorldofLevelDesign]

Get rid/delete logic_timer.

on Ambient Generic Sound go to flags tab, have only start_silent checked

on func_door set up two outputs

1. onOpen Play Sound (name of ambient generic door alarm)

2. onOpen Stop Sound (name of ambient generic door alarm) and add the delay when you want the sound to stop.

[Georgeee1995]

can you make a vending machine give you health ???

[lildudesvideos]

do u have a tutorial on how to add zombies? give me a link please! also, great vid!

[KHFan238]

nice vid

how do u get this thing to make your own levels does it come with left 4 dead on pc or what?

[WorldofLevelDesign]

Yes. PC version. Once installed, you download the level design tools through steam.

[KHFan238]

ok thank you! =]

[Naserve]

These videos are really nice, do you do the world of level design yourself or is it a big team project?

[WorldofLevelDesign]

Thanks man.

Its just me.
