<div class="IPBDescription">to make a hologram?</div> which entity do i use to put a 3d model and make it a hologram in my map?

Know how i can make a hologram?

Know where i can read tutorials about making holograms?

let me know!

And no, cycler_sprite does not take .mdl and creashes when i try to put mdl

when i do holograms, i make them in hammer, then tie it to a func_illusionary, set its blending mode to additive and fx to 255.

voila, instant hologram

Not a cycler sprite, a cycler. Then in the properties select your model. Voila.

jacksonjO4 · October 2003

cycler is the one you would use if it's a prebuilt model (e.g. an alien body). If it's something you have built up in worldcraft (e.g. a map of the map) then func_illusionary it.

hmm, i am seeing something strange, when i see him he is wearing blue pants but when i put him in the map he comes out wearing full read, red pants, everything, how can i make him like the regular barney?

im using valve/players/barney is there anywhere else ?

CoolCookieCooks · October 2003

if you want barney do monster_barney if its still in, i havent mapped for ns for ages now so im not sure.

valve/player/barney
I think is the hldm barney hence the red and yellow colors
try unpacking you .pak file. no clue where the tut is. I know you use wally

Just use valve/models/barney.mdl that the 'real' barney

Does this put the model in as a hologram if so... is there a way of making it look like a proper model?

amckern · October 2003

to make the holhogram look normal, don't use the hologram rendermode, but use the normal

Use aditive, and set it to 254 - that way it will come out like a proper model - i would show you my cs map, that i did this with, but i don't have the screens online any more

what about the glow effect under the hologram? the glowing light projector type thing that displays the hologram? Example eclipse holoroom....

What would i use to do that?

Kage · October 2003

That's another model. Are you sure you don't mean hera's holoroom? I think the projector model and the hera hologram model are both in the models/hera folder.

jacksonjO4 · October 2003

Correct, there is a model for the hera projector. Not sure how you'd do it without, HL doesn't have much in the way of volumetric lighting...

A_Boojum_Snark · October 2003

func_illousionary with set to additive textured with something that fades from black(invisable) to the color of your choice.

edit: o yeah, and a cycler will make a solid box about the size of a standing marine (cant walk through hologram) I use a env_sprite, which is also how hera did it.

I skinned barney to look like a marine, but i have a slight problem, when i put him in my map the colors look al wierd, but the colors look fine in the model viewer, how do i fix this?

it might be better to ask in the modeling forums, or at thewavelength.net

blackjackel · November 2003

read my last reply, it is asking something totally different.

Machiavelli · November 2003

You'll want the modeling forum for that. I know a little about modeling, but not enough to help you there. Mapping is what I know <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'> .

does anyone know how to get a cycler to show a particular sequence in the mdl's file e.g. walking, running, crouching, or idle?

Scythe · November 2003

A monster_furniture with the folowing settings:

"classname" "monster_furniture"
"renderfx" "16"
"rendermode" "5"
"renderamt" "220"
"rendercolor" "0 0 0"
"model" "models/player/alien4/alien4.mdl" // Fade model
"angles" "0 180 0" // Ignore
"origin" "-1876 -2992 670" // Ignore

Creates a very nice flickering animated hologram. I have two marking each of the entries to my readyroom.
