Creating... Blocks...

[SourceSDKenny]

Ive been looking in hammer, the site and the valve developer page and i still cannot figure out how to create a "block"
by this i mean something that isnt a prop (Prop_physics) but instead a peice of the map. e.g.


im pretty sure this is possible im just wondering what it would be called, brush_?
fairly interesting topic in my opinion

[Nicdel]

doesnt work

[SourceSDKenny]

r u sure?
ive seen in area51 where someone created a trigger

[Nicdel]

Well, theres a difference between triggers and brushes.

[SourceSDKenny]

its was like a func_physbox with a trigger texture

[Nicdel]

you can try it but its impossible. Have fun

Someone converted a trigger from the map. It wasnt created by scripting. You can create brushes but u can texture them, as far as i know.

i will figure it out!!!
and ant they prolly got it from the map, decompile and got the name then just did something to it

Nope... as Ant already said, the "Physbox with Triggertexture" is a result of converting the given Trigger, i.e. in the teleporter.
I would take a screeny to prove it... but aint got time today so i will leaves this to some1 else.

is it atleast possible to change the properties of something like that trigger?

Use ent_fire.

Use ent_fire.

der...
im not an idiot

i wonder if i could change the target so it would tele you to spawn...
wouldnt be to hard

[ant_8490]

after its phys-converted, its useless, just a solid block.

no im saying to change the teleport target

[Nicdel]

The target is a keyvalue of trigger_teleport. A converted trigger is a simple_physics_prop so it doesnt have the keyvalue to do that
