I have a new map in test. current name is jm_officespace. its about 90% done. I gotta figure out how I want to end it now.

btw, its hard.

Im sure the good jumpers will find it challenging even at test stage.

btw,

Im having issues with the elevator. If someone saves on it and dies on it, it goes in an odd loop. has anyone seen this and is there a fix for it?

It seemed to work ok when i tried it. But it might be a good idea to add the waittill ("movedone"); after each move.

The map wasn't bad, a few texturing issues. The room with the hurt trigger on the floor was a bit random/annoying. The rest was pretty good.

the best thing to do is make it cod1 ^^

nice map m8 it needs a lot FPS
just one question where to go from here?

[Inetpub]

The random room was made for that. Its called KILLZONE. Hence the reasoning for that room. I fully intended it to be like that. If you look in that room, each jump uses different textures.

But there is no randomness. Its intended so you can follow it but look crazy. LOTs of colors and bright! rather from the rest of the map where it looks normal. So, I know hte kill triggers are annoying but a KILLZONE with no killtriggers wouldnt be a killzone.

lol.

BTW,

This map is still test. If there are ANY jumps you recommend me making more difficult, I want to look at it. I want to make this jump map on a higher difficulty scale. I see more of you have gone far in it. Did it take alot of tries? What was your time?

I couldn't get to the end of the "killzone" room, I am stuck at the same point as above I believe.

Can someone who knows how to elevator script fix my jm_officespace1.gsc file. its still screwing up. Basically what happens is that someone saves on the elevator and when they respawn on it it breaks. the elevator seems to pick up new settings from spawn. so anyone following cant get on it. PLEASE help as I dont really want to mess with it anymore. The map is a good chunk done. I just gotta make an end and fix afew jumps to make them harder.

same here ... its impossible to do that room without noclip :s

For a start, elevators are buggy, I personally do not recommend them.
I havent looked at your gsc, but the problem is people saving on it and trying to load. If they load inside the elevator (not above it), the waiting time for the elevator keeps moving. Once the elevator has waited its full time, it will move back up/down from its current position.

What I would recommend is to use the "moveTo" function.
This will make it always go back to the correct position.

this is what you need to do.

Delete the script_brushmodel you have in the map atm...

Now, remake the brush. Now, copy the brush (spacebar) and retexture (change the texture to "origin" found in the tools textures).
Place the new origin brush over the top of the other brush. Select BOTH brushes and make them a script_brushmodel with the desired targetname...

Now once you have done that, that can be hard work inside the editor for some people, so here is simple solution...

Reaplce you entire old gsc with this (obviosuly do not delete your old one, this is temporary...

jm_officespace.gsc

Code: Select all

main()
{
maps\mp\_load::main();

brush = getent("brush","targetname");
origin = brush getOrigin();

while(1)
{
iprintln("Origin: " + origin");
wait 5;
}
}

The code above uses a targetname of brush, so change that to whatever you have used...
The exact coordinates of your map will now be shown on screen.
Write these coordinates down.

Now, implement these into your old code...
Change the "moveZ" commands to MoveTo...

Now, this is how the layout is done..

Code: Select all

moveTo((x, y, z), <time>, <acc>, <dec>)
e.g
moveTo((5, 10, 15), 3, 2, 1)

So, you know what set of coordinates (the starting point), now all you have to do is add/subtract the height you want the platform to move from the Z value, use the MoveTo command again to move the platform away from the start position...

Now you have all that, theres one other thing, use the "brush waittill("movedone");" then if you want the platform to stay still for 2 seconds, add the wait 2; after. It is a lot more efficient...

same here ... its impossible to do that room without noclip :s

No, i managed it. There was maybe 2 jumps that were tricky in that room.. a fairly big jump near the start and a crouch jump nearer the end. It didn't take that long though

testing now...

Demo?

It wasn't the jumps that got me, its the route. The only possible route to me seems is impossible due the fact something is not as it seems...
