Make a cone (the mesh cone), press V and drag the top line of vertices down to the middle line, that should give you a good hemisphere; then clone it and flip it. Should give you a pretty good sphere without using horrific multi-faced brushes....  [Read More]

fx_runner, you'll probably have to create the efx file yourself though to make it appear to grow and then die off as I don't think any of them work that way exactly....there are small smoke efx files though....  [Read More]

You make a button (use a func_usable). You make 5 entities by right clicking -> target_delay, target_activate, target_deactivate, target_teleporter, target_position. You make a trigger_multiple brush (covered in the system/trigger texture). Pre...  [Read More]

You do not use the textures that actually look like sky to make a skybox! They will act like regular textures in game, you must use one of the shaders which are the ones that say SKY on them...  [Read More]

Those textures are used in the SKY shaders, you never apply them directly, as I said before you apply one of the things that say SKY on them, in-game they'll appear as regular sky uses those images you see....  [Read More]

You just cover brushes in the sky texture (one of those textures that show up as black text saying SKY on a blue background. You use these brushes to seal off your map, you do NOT make a brush around your entire map! What I mean is if you have a wind...  [Read More]

To make this work you need to put the patches into a map of their own and you must include at least one structural brush, however this can be covered in caulk and can be 1 unit cubed in size and placed behind the patch mesh so it doesn't ever show up...  [Read More]
