Hello.
This might be..
the last..
tutorial..
FOREVER.
So this nice dude PMed me on Youtube. Got my youtube channel from this site. And was asking for advice and help. (If I was still availible to help)
So, sure why not.
I already posted my secrets 2 posts ago, but it wasnt very informative.
So here’s what I said to him, and this applies to everyone.
:
Im gonna get to the advice in a minute, but first let me explain what helped me ALOT as a former scripter.
I make maps. I have never released a map, but as a hobby I would do once or twice a month.
I use SourceSDK’s Hammer Editor which is used to make maps.
In Hammer Editor, you basically build a 3D replica of the map. You can create entities and pretty much everything you do in scripting. You can take a script and add it to a map. (Or the other way around. But ofc its limited, what you can do in HL2DM client-side.)
And in Hammer Editor, you can edit your entity using a panel. (http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Hammer_Object_Properties_Dialog)
Scroll through that, and look at all the pics.
There is an input/output tab, properties and all that, which is basically a script-maker.
Its hard to explain to someone that has never seen Hammer Editor. (Assuming you haven’t)
Hammer Editor is free to download and is in the “Tools” section. You have to open “Source SDK” and inside is Hammer Editor. I’m not saying to learn how to make a map, I’m just showing something that would help a really confused individual, which you are not, so don’t bother.
But what I am getting to is that, SourceSDK (Software Developers Kit) has an awesome Wiki, which can help a bunch.
Here is the link to it:http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Point_tesla
That page is the point_tesla page of the wiki. (There is a search bar where you can search for the entity you are trying to create.) It shows all the possible Inputs/Outputs/Keyvalues for the entity.
For the tesla under “Inputs”, it shows “DoSpark” like I said in the tutorial.
“”At the end, you need to enable it, and start it so you’d put.
ent_fire termtesla dospark”"
Its really helpful.
Thats all I have. This will be on the website.
:
If you want to support me, even tho I’m not scripting anymore, subscribe to me on Youtube. I do Minecraft videos. Minecraft is a really cool game (20$).
If you watch the videos and decide to buy it, go ahead and subscribe.
Thanks!
