Slippery Doors?

[Seto Kiaba]

Hello. I am new to the forums and to the Hammer tool, but I am very interested in making maps for ZP:S. I have been playing around with Hammer for the past few hours, and have gotten some of the basics down, like making rooms, adding objects, and the like. The last thing I wanted to do before moving onto a whole map was getting doors to work. I just added a rotating door to my open room, and was able to open it fine and such, but it is acting a bit wierd. If I touch any part of the door, I get bounced off it a bit, which makes entering it a bit hard if I touch the handle. Also, if I position myself right, I can go right through it, and bullets go through the door too. It is almost like the collision detection for the door isn't right. Did I miss some obvious option to get it to work right?

Also, I was reading on the Black Mesa: Source site that carving is normalling not a good idea, and you make a lot of brushes than normal by doing that. So I was wondering how else you were suppose to get a door within a wall, besides adding a door and eyeballing the parts of a wall around it?

The clipping tool, read up on it, its your best friend.

*hugs his clipping tool*

You don't "eyeball" it. It's called "snap to grid". The button "[" and "]" decrease and increase grid size from 1 to ??? in 2x increments

Look at this vmf and read the tutorial on it. Also compile and run the vmf to see all the doors, it's a rather useful tutorial. If you really just want a quick door, select the two walls beside the door, the door itself and the little outter piece of the door and copy and paste into your map.

make the speed of the door like 150-250 should do something, but taht sounds rather weird. rotating doors are always hard to do. i just avoid them whenever i can =D
