How do you do?

I am studying hammer editor now.


I want to let alyx enter a vehicle with me.

I included prop_vehicle_jeep, and selected vehicle.mdl as its world model.

After I open its object properties window, I included the following two output events in output tab:

My output named = playeroff,
Targets entities named = alyx01,
Via this input = ExitVehicle,

My output named = playeron,
Targets entities named = alyx01,
Via this input = EnterVehicle.

However, it does not work.

I appreciate any comments if you let me know how to let alyx enter a vehicle.

Thank you in advance.

From my experience, you have to make Alyx follow you in the area you're in, so you have to create an entity for that (I believe it's ai_follow or something like that). You'll also need some info_nodes around so she knows to get in and out of the car.

There's a whole tutorial about this kind of stuff: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Main_Page

How do you do?

Thank you for your reply.

I checked the website that you mentioned, and I also used search engine to find any information.

However, I can not find anything about my problem.

If you do not mind, would you please tell me in more detail where and how I can find anything about it?

Thank you again.

Ok - I think this is the page you'll want to take a look at; it explains the prop_vehicle_jeep in great detail:

Hope this helps!

Another thing - make sure that Alyx is set up to follow you - she won't get in the car if she doesn't want to follow you (ai_goal_follow).

You may also want to check the Source Editing & Development forums to see if a similar topic exists.

Thank you for your reply again.

With your assistance, I could let alyx get into a vehicle.
However, I still can not let her get out of the car when I get out.

I have to spend more time to find the way.

Thank you again.

There was a tutorial map that was available for download that I found at one time; I was having the same problem when building a map last year, but I can't remember where I found it - I check to see where it went.

Good luck!
