Of course, now that I actually read your first email, I see that you were having trouble with platforms, not triggers.
Are you using a func_plat? If so, you'll see in CFuncPlat::Precache() that it spawns a plat_trigger to detect the player moving onto the plat. When you said you didn't see the platform's Touch() function getting called, did you mean CPlatTrigger::Touch()? If not, put a breakpoint in that and see if you hit that. Otherwise, I'd try visualizing the plat_trigger and seeing where it is. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robin Walker Sent: Saturday, June 25, 2005 2:33 PM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlcoders] platform trigger touch not working in SDK This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Make sure you've got the trigger's spawnflags set correctly.

If that doesn't fix it, put a breakpoint in PassesTriggerFilters() and see what's going on when you touch it. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matthew Lewis Sent: Saturday, June 25, 2005 2:14 PM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlcoders] platform trigger touch not working in SDK Has anyone gotten the platforms to work with their default touch triggers? I've been playing with them off and on over the last few weeks and have yet to get them to trigger properly. I put a message in the touch() function which shows it never gets called despite having a player jumping up and down on top of the platform. The trigger is getting set up, but it just doesn't work. It's probably something simple, but so far I haven't been able to find what's wrong. I'm guessing that it's a bounding box issue, but the tracer code I put in shows that the bbox is getting set properly.
