This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] To visualize the plat_trigger, you should be able to just type "ent_bbox plat_trigger" in the console.
Any problems in the plat_trigger size/position will most likely be caused by the code in CPlatTrigger::SpawnInsideTrigger( CFuncPlat *pPlatform ). The problem may be that your mapmaker has dragged the func_plat's origin helper out of the platform, and it's used to position the plat_trigger. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matthew Lewis Sent: Saturday, June 25, 2005 3:17 PM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlcoders] platform trigger touch not working in SDK > > >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?

The tracer I put was in the CPlatTrigger::Touch() function as so: void CPlatTrigger::Touch( CBaseEntity *pOther ) { Msg("Trigger Touch!\n"); // Ignore touches by non-players if ( !pOther->IsPlayer() ) return; .....etc.... I'm not sure how you would visualize the PlatTrigger. I tried turning on the "showtriggers", but it nothing showed for the platform. My other triggers did show. If push comes to shove, I'll just delete the PlatTrigger code and use an explicite func_trigger to make the platform work. But it would be nice if the plats would work like they used to. In the first version of my mod, I deleted the plattrigger and created a touch function for the platform itself which worked just fine. But I decided to give the SDK version another try. Maybe that wasn't such a good idea. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
