How do you make a hole between two different rooms both hollow and next to each other. And what would be the easiest way to make a door between 2 rooms?

thx dEL

[Supplice]

For making a hole, thats easy; make big platforms that are so high that when you fall down you die.

Hi there i recently started trying to make a map and watched some of your tuts which were great, however i need more info on two things:

firstly making stairs (i wanted to make a flight of stairs like youd find at a multi storie car park)

secondly lighting (i was trying to make a tale light of a car have a dim red glow and cant work out what values of brightness i should use)

Any help would be great thanks!

[Duck]

ah no problem man, if you would like to live chat sometime you can get xfire: www.xfire.com and add me as a friend: duck45

also I have hotmail: masterzelda
and yahoo: centralelf

to make the stairs are just resizing the primitive to a height of 16 or 8 units high and however wide you want it, to make the cars backlights glowable you would use a sprite.

I will make you a tutorial on how to do this I will post it here

Thanks,
Duck

I just wonder how do you make water?

[mossimo]

Browse for the "No Draw" texture. then select the Brush tool, make the size of water you would like. Then select the Toggle texture application. Then select the top face of your water. Then select browse. Browse for a water texture that you like. Click apply when your all done and you've got your water.

ok thanks, wanna learn 2 more things How do you make a like roof or floor which you can break by shooting at it?And the second thing is, How do you make like a secret passage through a wall into a secret room, please video tutorial if possible

[Stenberg]

Sorry forgot to mention, I can't see the water from the outside, can only see the water texture from when im inside it

[mossimo]

Did you select the top face of the water when apply the texture to it?

also for a breakable roof. select the roof and then hit ctrl + t. or maybe its properties. eather way once you bring up the menu search for "func_breakable" then you have a number of things you can play around wuth. i suggest only touching the "strength" feature for the wall.

The secrect passage is easy. just have a hole in a wall or floor. then make another wall in that hole no water what texture. press ctrl+t OR properties whichever brings up the right menu. then change the class to "func_illusionary"
