Cylinders or tubes

[IsolatedPurity]

I've been looking for how to do this but i cant seem to find out how, How do i make a a brush turn into a Cylinder? or tube. W/e it goes by.


EDIT:
Also can anyone tell me how to make the shield wall doors?


EDIT2:Also can anyone tell me how to make it so when you give the player the item "Item_Suite" that it doesnt play its login sounds and all that.

By default, on the right-hand side of your screen is the toolbar that allows you to do this. There are two dropdown boxes, one with 'HL2' in it and the one below with 'block' in it. Change the 'block' box to whatever manner of fancy shapes you please.

EDIT - didn't see your other edited Qs

I don't know what you mean by shield wall doors. Please be more specific or post a screen.

as for the suit, you need the item_suit entity. Check the flag that says 'fast logon' or something similar, then it will not play any sounds nor show the admirehands animation.

Thanks for answering the first and third. By a shield wall door i mean like the combine blockers? they use a shield to keep the player from going some where. Like on c-17 the begining, when you come to the town square type thing and there are the combine walls with doors that only npcs can pass through.

use the combine gate models from for the gate posts

place a nonsolid func_brush between them, and cover one side with the crazy forcefield texture (it's under 'effects/' iirc). name it

place a playerclip brush over this

place a trigger_multiple over this, fatter than the func_brush, and add an ambient_generic too

name the ambient generic, and make it play from the func_brush, give it fade in/fade out time of 1 sec, and make the sound 'combine.sheild_touch' (game sound, not raw, and yes - valve did spell 'shield' wrong). make sure it's flagged to loop and doesn't start on

add outputs to the trigger_multiple:

- OnStartTouch -> Playsound
- OnEndTouch -> Stopsound

that's it

There's also a prefab of this on the dropdown menu mentioned before.
