Introduction
This guide will show you how to create Cat Walks seen in testchmb_a_15 and escape_02.
Hanging Catwalks
These Cat Walks are carried by ropes.
Cat Walk Texturing
Most of the catwalk will be 64w*384l*4h.
Set the bottom and top texture to metal/metalfloor_bts_001b
Set the side textures to metal/metalbeam_bts_001a.
Enter the following properties with the Face Edit Sheet:
Texture Scale:
- X: 0.13
- Y: 0.13
Texture Shift:
- X: 22
Make sure to tie each Cat Walk brush to a func_detail.
Note:Change the length to how long your Cat Walk needs to be, it does not have to be 384 units.Entrance and Exit setup
Path Type 1
If the beginning or end of the path is a 128 unit tall and wide walk way, create a 128w*128l*4h brush on the entrance/exit.
If your Cat Walk has multiple directions it can go, create another brush on the side of the corner brush.
Path Type 2
If the beginning or end of the path is a 128 unit tall and 64 unit wide walk way, just use the 64w*384l*4h brush.
Hand Rails
Create prop_static and set their model to models/props_c17/handrail04_long.mdl. Sometimes it may be necessary to use handrail04_medium.mdl and handrail04_short.mdl
Place the Cat Walks' feet in between the air and the Cat Walk it self.
Support Ropes
Make sure that all textures are Aligned to Face.
Create 2 80w*3l*8h brushes with the metal/metalbeam_bts_001a texture and create 2 4w*2l*6h brushes with the metal/metalbeam_bts_001a texture.
Enter the following properties with the Face Edit Sheet for all faces:
Texture Scale:
- X: 0.13
- Y: 0.13
Rotation: 90.00
For all of the side faces and left brush's top and bottom faces, enter the following properties with the Face Edit Sheet:
Texture Shift:
- X: -95
- Y: 460
For the right brush's top and bottom faces, enter the following properties with the Face Edit Sheet:
Texture Shift:
- X: 95
- Y: 460
Select all the brushes and tie them to a func_detail
Create a move_rope entity and enter the following properties:
| Property Name | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | rope_prop_1 |
| Next KeyFrame | rope_prop_2 |
| Width | 1 |
Create a keyframe_rope entity and set its name to rope_prop_2 and position it as seen in the image:
Position the move_rope entity so that it touches the ceiling, keep its X and Y coordinates the same as the keyframe_rope's
Lastly, put copy the rope to the other side and set one of the keyframe_ropes Next Keyframe value to the other keyframe_ropes.
Stairs
Details
You can include details such as handrails falling off, broken flooring, floor pieces, etc...
Decorative Cat Walks
These cat walks are seen in escape_02 in the room containing the GLaDOS chamber and the cat walks on the very top in the turret room.
