True Rotation DP/TXQBSP
Re: True Rotation DP/TXQBSP
You want the rotating brush to push the player through a solid object, if necessary?
Because what are the other options?
1. Stopping because it's blocked
2. Continuing despite being blocked - this means killing the player, pretty much, or moving through the player
Am I missing something? What is your desired behaviour?

^ What about generating particles (sparks) at the brush rotation origin when it's blocked? Like a jammed device. Also a screach sound could be applied/generated.
Ontopic now, one of the options should be selected.

Re: True Rotation DP/TXQBSP
'Proper' doors are firmly on my to do list. At the moment doors are either open or shut, which is hokey, but better than more unrealistic sliding doors. Reading this thread with interest, hoping to understand it more...
Re: True Rotation DP/TXQBSP
ajay, you can download the rotating entities testmod from the RMQ devblog and run rotatetest.bsp.
It's also in the RMQ mapping guide.

Re: True Rotation DP/TXQBSP
Cool. do you know if they'd run in DirectQ too? Also, as I've no time to test it now, how do they work, player-wise - do they open when touch by the player, at a button press, or thru a player touched trigger?
Re: True Rotation DP/TXQBSP
They do everything a standard door does, really. By default, they open when a player touches them. They can also be triggered, or require a key, or be shot open.
I assume DirectQ can run them, since IIRC it supports RMQ.

Oh ok, that's excellent info - I've really got to use them, will improve the feel of the map no end. Cheers.
Re: True Rotation DP/TXQBSP
Got it working with no problems - thanks to everyone for their work on this. Aligning textures seems tricky though...
Re: True Rotation DP/TXQBSP
yes, yes it is. Actually that area is barely lit at all, plus fraps always makes it look darker. Honest
Re: True Rotation DP/TXQBSP
Is there a reason why textures get misaligned; I texture it properly, tie to entity, compile and it's off centre?
Re: True Rotation DP/TXQBSP
Move it to origin, texture it there, then move it back with texture lock disabled. Yet another issue with rotation that nobody has fixedajay wrote:Is there a reason why textures get misaligned; I texture it properly, tie to entity, compile and it's off centre?

The night is young. How else can I annoy the world before sunsrise? Inquisitive minds want to know ! And if they don't -- well like that ever has stopped me before ..
Re: True Rotation DP/TXQBSP
Thanks for this... But what do you mean by origin in this case? Most of the doors I'm making start closed, pivoting around a point and finishing at 90 degrees to their starting point. Would at origin therefore mean at the open position, at the height of the info.null it pivots around?metlslime wrote:Move it to origin, texture it there, then move it back with texture lock disabled.
