Detailing BTS Areas

Introduction

This guide will show you how to create wall pipes.

Basic Wall Pipes

These walls pipes only have a 16 unit gap inside them.

Creating the path

Support Beams found throughout the BTS Areas

Use the Clipping Tool to cut 128 wide gaps the wall. Push the cut blocks 16 units back.

You can either leave the texture behind the maps the normal metal wall texture or use metal/metalwall_bts_006e_cable.

Pipe Models

Support Beams found throughout the BTS Areas

Create prop_static entities and set their model to models/props/wall_pipes_horiz/wall_pipes_horiz.mdl. This will be the main model to use.

If your path takes a 90 degree turn, use the wall_pipes_bend models and rotate any other pipe models.

Use the wall_pipes_wave models to change which side the normal models are closer to for extra detail.

Todo:  Finish the rest of this guide.
