Have you tried "delay 0" or "wait 0" within Radiant? Also, try entering "random 0"...sometimes these things have a default nonzero randomness factor that gets added to the delay, so if you have delay 0 and random 10, sa...  [Read More]

There arent any. That's because "shaders" is an incredibly expansive topic. Your best approach is to ask a question more specifically related to what you want your shader to do. From there, try finding a similar shader from the JA assets an...  [Read More]

Free rotation can be a very fickle friend...I have found that it only works reliably on single brushes, preferably square ones, which makes it handy for crates but not much else. There's a complication of the free-rotate tool even then. I will put fo...  [Read More]

Do you have any nonsolid shaders on any surface of the brush? These would be things like nodraw, caulk_nonsolid, water, or anything ending in _noclip. Some of the metal shaders actually have _noclip, and make brushes they're put onto nonsolid!...  [Read More]

Huh? Now that *is* a bug with autoclipping, then. The problem with using autoclip on trees is that even where the model is transparent, it still draws a clip brush, so you may have solid bits a good way away from the rest of the model....  [Read More]

Well, erm, not to contradict Wade, but I've never personally seen any of the adverse autoclipping effects. Still, I'm using that technique less and less... The trees have lots of little skinny pieces in close proximity, so no, you shouldn't autoclip...  [Read More]

Just cuild it the same way you build any part of a map. Probably what you want to do is make a huge cylinder or endcap, invert the matrix, and then maybe bend the edges around a bit to give the impression of depth. Experiment a little. Anything you...  [Read More]

You could use the program EffectsEd that came with the JA SDK to directly edit the tripmine laser and make it a different color. I've never done that though, so I'm not precisely sure how. Just poke around in EffectsEd....  [Read More]

By "in the func_door," I meant "as part of the func_door." The great thing about putting a nodraw brush there is that it's invisible and nonsolid, but lets you save effort on figuring out complicated lip values. Or, on the other h...  [Read More]

Naw, lips are fairly simple. A func_door has a default lip value of, I believe, 32...a lip of 0 means that the door moves exactly its own length when triggered. So just enter a lip value exactly as you would the height on a func_plat, and keep in min...  [Read More]
