that red lights are env_beam.
that colored one are additive brushes (func_door_rotating).
they have an origin brush that makes them rotate

thanks but what is / how do i make a "origin brush" sory but ive never used one b4

an origin brush is just a regular brush textured with the 'origin' texture found in the hl wad.
It's invisible ingame and its only purpose is to provide a point for rotating objects to rotate around.
Check verc or pretty much any other decent mapping site for more info.

<a href='http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?go=rotating_objects' target='_blank'>http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?...otating_objects</a>

every rotating object needs to include an origin brush wich is not more than ONE brush covered with the ORIGIN texture on all sides.
the rotating object then rotates around the center of that origin brush it includes (rotation axis).
cydonias light spots are func_door_rotating, not solid, x or y axis, additive, 255, one directional....

the red ones are env_beams with its info_targets atatched to another origin brush that is another func_door_rotating.

gah tutorial spam!

Thanks for your halp i understand how to do rotating objects now but i cant make the env_laser or env_beam move

do i use info_target if so how do you attach it to a moving brush
or do i do sumat else

thnx

Inafiscisis · July 2003

info_target is correct. The info_target should move if you want the laser to move. For say a rotating laser
you would simply add an origin brush at the rotation axis and treat it like any other rotating object.

At least that's how I have figured it. Could be wrong. I have never tried this. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

Only the info targets need to be asigned to the rotating origin brush entity.
The light sources must not rotate , but can.

[off topic] (since his question was answered)
i notice cookie that the site in your sig bares AMAZING resemblance to the one i made.

the fact that you have  written in the html of the site is what makes me laugh. if you are going to steal it make sure i can't tell!

One other thing i suggest you remove the music since it is annoying as hell! Btw. yes you can my site as a template <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>
