Introduction
In this tutorial you will learn how to create a moving platform.
Creating and setting basic model
You will need one from these models
- This one is bigger:
models/props/light_rail_platform.mdl. - This one is smaller
models/props/light_rail_platform_02.mdl. - After you have decided witch one is better for you, name it
platform_model. - Set its parent to
platform_func, which we'll create next.
Creating function
Create brush with dimensions of chosen platform. It’s not necessary, but it will surely work.
Tie it to func_door entity by pressing Ctrl-T. Set its variables as follows:
Property Name Value Change angles this is up to you, I’m using: never (fixed orientation)Change velocity too, it’s your choice, but: ease in/ease outFirst stop target P1_S1_MInitial speed 100Max speed 10 000Name platform_func
And, you may set sounds:
Property Name Value Start sound Doors.Move12Stop sound Doors.FullClose12
Track
Our platform is using path_track to move, so we have to create some. You can see the architecture we we will use.
Create path_track entity with these settings:
Property Name Value Name P1_S1_MNew train speed 30Next stop target P1_S1_O
Now create another one:
Property Name Value Name P1_S1_ONew train speed 200Next stop target P1_S2_I
P1_S2_I:
Property Name Value Name P1_S2_INew train speed 30Next stop target P1_S2_M
P1_S2_M:
Property Name Value Name P1_S2_MNew train speed 30Next stop target P1_S2_O
P1_S2_O:
Property Name Value Name P1_S2_ONew train speed 200Next stop target P1_S1_I
Move them as you need and check, if they are linked by an yellow line.
Make it nice
Now you have working platform, but we will add few models. That oval-like object is mostly on wall, so it's easy to add it to your map. Second model looks better, you may even add that stand under it.
