Make a trigger brush, tie it to 'func_buyzone' and then make sure you set it to which team you want it to be for.

it's quite simple actually... first, make a Brush, keep it simple and make a quad... make the brush enclose your buy zone,... before you hit enter, make sure you go to the texture browser first, and find the TRIGGER texture, just like the NO DRAW we told you about, type tools or trigger in the filter to find it

next press enter with this texture selected to create your brush... you should have a lovely yellow block with black lettering, TRIGGER, all around, if you don't, make sure to apply the texture with the face edit mode...

next.. .with the brush selected, go to tools , then "tie to entity"

you want to select "func_buyzone" from here you should be able to deduce which of the two options you can use to set the buy zone for terrorists or counter-terrorists

why does everybody always say trigger? i have make several maps and never had them trigger anything...i just create a brush with no_draw texture and tie to entity func_buyzone then select for which team.

whats up with trigger texture what is the difference, no_draw works as well?

I suppose you're right tank, nodraw, invisible, it might all work...

it's just that trigger is what's in the manual lol ... which leads me to say... Gordon, if you ever are stumped with anything like this, take a look at the help files
