| | Monitors are used mainly in the [[Wheatley (Portal 2)|Wheatley theme]] where Wheatley can be displayed. They are easy to make with <code>[[func_instance]]</code>. |
|
| |
|
| Monitors are easy to make and they make the map more living.
| | ==Creating monitors with func_instance== |
| | | ===Step 1=== |
| =Creating= | | Create a <code>func_instance</code> entity using the [[entity tool]]. Set its VMF filename to <code>instances\monitors\wheatley_bigscreen.vmf</code>. Set its fix-up name to <code>wheatley_monitor_1</code>. Use the [[Hammer_Clipping_Tool|clipping tool]] to create an opening for the monitor and move it into position. |
| Monitors are made by making a [[func_monitor]] and a [[point_camera]].
| | ===Step 2=== |
| | | Create another <code>func_instance</code>. Set its VMF filename to <code>instances\monitors\wheatley_studio.vmf</code>. Place it outside your map. |
| ==Step 1: Entities== | | ===Step 3=== |
| | | Create one more <code>func_instance</code> with the VMF <code>instances\choreo\glados_gen_actor.vmf</code>. To make Wheatley speak, fire an output like this: |
| Make an entity (See [[Creating_a_brush_entity]] for help). Change the entity into the [[func_monitor]] class. Name the entity monitor1.
| | {| {{OutputsTable}} |
| | | | [[File:Io11.png]] || OnTrigger || @glados || RunScriptCode || laser_catapult_test_start() || 0.00 || No |
| ==Step 2: Point Camera==
| |
| [[File:Pointcam.png|thumb|right|180px|point_camera used to show wheatley's monitor]]
| |
| Make a [[point_camera]] with the name monitor_camera.
| |
| It should look like this when you put it in your map. Make sure it is in the right position so the monitor will show clearly the thing you want to be showed up in the func_monitor
| |
| {{Note|You should change the [[FOV]] too for a better look of Wheatley.}}
| |
| | |
| ==Step 3: Monitors' Properties==
| |
| Go to the [[func_monitor]]’s properties and set camera name to: '''monitor_camera'''.
| |
| | |
| ==Step 4: Triggers==
| |
| Connect the camera and the monitor to a [[trigger]] and set the trigger’s output to:
| |
| | |
| ::{| class=standard-table
| |
| ! || My Output || Target Entity || Target Input || Parameter || Delay || Only Once
| |
| |-
| |
| | [[Image:Io11.png]] || OnTrigger || monitor || Enable || || 0.00 || No
| |
| |-
| |
| | [[Image:Io11.png]] || OnTrigger || monitor_camera || SetOn || || 0.00 || No
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| ==Step 5: Texture== | |
| [[File:Monitor texture.png|thumb|right|140px|The texture that is needed to be used]]
| |
| Texture the face you want the screen to appear to "'''dev_tvmonitor1a'''". You should also click the button '''"Fit"''' for a better quality.
| |
| | |
| ==Step 6: Making the "studio"==
| |
| Make a 416x716x544 block and right click on the 2D view of it and press "hollow". Write in the box "32" and click OK. You should texture it with a black texture.
| |
| | |
| ==Step 7: Adding/Controlling Wheatley== | |
| Many people don't know how to work with scripts and with npcs. So the best way to make wheatley is a [[prop_dynamic]]. The model should be "glados_wheatley_boss_screen.mdl" and name it "wheatley". Put it in the black room. After that you can use triggers and connect it with the model so you can use his animations. For Example:
| |
| | |
| ::{| class=standard-table
| |
| ! || My Output || Target Entity || Target Input || Parameter || Delay || Only Once
| |
| |-
| |
| | [[Image:Io11.png]] || OnTrigger || wheatley || SetAnimation || 03_lowDefenseFire || 0.00 || No
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| You can also make him talk by using the entity [[logic_choreographed_scene]].
| |
| {{Note|If you search for voices in hammer and play them they will be probably silent. You can open the .vpk files (in common/portal 2/portal2) and search for the audio you want so you can listen to it too. These files can be opened with [[GCFScape]].}} | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| Of course you need to trigger the [[logic_choreographed_scene]]. For example:
| |
| | |
| ::{| class=standard-table
| |
| ! || My Output || Target Entity || Target Input || Parameter || Delay || Only Once
| |
| |-
| |
| | [[Image:Io11.png]] || OnTrigger || choreo || Start || || 0.00 || No | |
| |} | | |} |

Wheatley on one of his monitors.
Monitors are used mainly in the Wheatley theme where Wheatley can be displayed. They are easy to make with func_instance.
Creating monitors with func_instance
Step 1
Create a func_instance entity using the entity tool. Set its VMF filename to instances\monitors\wheatley_bigscreen.vmf. Set its fix-up name to wheatley_monitor_1. Use the clipping tool to create an opening for the monitor and move it into position.
Step 2
Create another func_instance. Set its VMF filename to instances\monitors\wheatley_studio.vmf. Place it outside your map.
Step 3
Create one more func_instance with the VMF instances\choreo\glados_gen_actor.vmf. To make Wheatley speak, fire an output like this:
| |
My Output |
Target Entity |
Target Input |
Parameter |
Delay |
Only Once
|
 |
OnTrigger |
@glados |
RunScriptCode |
laser_catapult_test_start() |
0.00 |
No
