Help Wanted - Ravenholm style crane physics trap.

[Ren.182]

Hey guys.

Wanting to add a physics trap similar to the one in Ravenholm when the crane drops the cars onto the zombies and rises back up.

Wondered if anyone had a link to a tutorial or could show me how to do it.

Thanks for any help

There is an amazing list of tutorials (lots of scripting tuts) somewhere on the web but I don't have a link handy. You can probably find it on Google.

Alternatively check Interlopers.

That was surprisingly unhelpful, Crispy.

Ren, you can check the Ravenholm map out itself, or, as Crispy had mentioned, there is a tutorial at Interlopers - http://www.interlopers.net/index.php?page=tutorials&id=1850

Awesome!
Thanks a lot

Meh, I'd say it was as helpful as I could have been since I was at the end of my break at work. If I can point someone in the direction of Interlopers, half the work is already done for them. Unless...

"Interlopers - but what does he MEAN? He mentioned Google - but what is that? Maybe I'll find out if I search for it on a search engine... Oh, it IS a search engine! And one of the best in the world, apparently. I'll search for Interlopers with this 'Google'.
"Ah, the results are through -didn't take very long). Now, let's see... result #1 Interlopers.net - News & Design Resource - Half-Life 2 Tutorials. Yes! That must be it, it says it does tutorials for Half-Life 2 and that's exactly what I'm after!
"Looks like there's a 'Tutorials' link right on the frontpage, how useful. But wait, there's even a 'Search Tutorials' box in the top right! Wowzers, looks like I hit the jackpot today! Now, let's see what happens if I type in Ravenholm (because I'm looking for a tutorial on the Ravenholm traps, doncha know?).
"Yep, that seems to have done the trick. I've got three results here, not just one, three. It's a real party atmosphere in this search results window. I mean, they say that two's company, but three's a crowd. Better make a selection quick, it's getting noisy in here.
"ALL of the Ravenholm traps explained.. Yes, that is what it says but, can it be true? Only one way to find out, I suppose. Adventure here I cooooooooooome!"

Anyway, there is a vast, vast list of Hammer tutorials somewhere (bigger than Interlopers) but after Googling I can't find the link. I have it bookmarked on another PC which I'll fish out at the weekend to redeem my 'unhelpfulness'. :hmph:

What a complete load of bullshit.




No one says wowzers anymore.
