Q4 Peleporter problem!

[A1yssa]

Player get teleported...rockets(and other ammos) won't pass through my teleporter.

my steps:

The Model:


* Right-click in 2D-view, and select New Model... to create a func_static object.
* Pick the default TP model models/mapobjects/multiplayer/teleporter.lwo.(instead of picking a model, I made a simple brush as the func_static)
* This creates the new Key model in the Entity tab (N-key).
* Add the following Key, Val (value) pairs in the Entity tab:

o solid, 0
o noshadows, 1
o noclipmodel, 1

* Place the model flush to the ground.

The Trigger brush:


* Create a brush the size of the trigger you want to use as a relay. E.g. 128u high, and 128u wide, approximately as deep as TP model.
Note: The brush should be at right angles, not skewed in any way.
* From the Media tab cover the brush with textures/common/trigmulti.
* Right-click in 2D-view, and select trigger, trigger_multiple to turn the brush into a trigger.
* Change the properties of the still selected object, via Entity tab (N-key) and add the following Key, Val pairs:

o anyTouch, 1
o projectile_trigger, 1
Rockets will pass the TP.
o wait, 0

TP Destination:


* Right-click in 2D-view, and select info, info_player_teleport to create a TP destination object.
* Change the properties of the still selected object, via Entity tab and add the following Key, Val pairs:

o angle, 180
Defines direction the player will face after exiting destination.
Must be multiples of 90 (90, 180, 270, 360), or else projectiles will not pass the TP.

* In MP the TP destination usually "floats" one block (64u) above floor and about one block away from a TP behind you, or a wall.
* Deselect everything (Esc-key).
* Select (Shift-click) the trigger_multiple brush first, and then select the info_player_teleport entity.
* Connect the objects with Ctrl + K (or via Selection menu, Connect entities).
* A redish line with arrow should connect the trigger brush and the TP destination.



I placed the trigger over the func_static...what's wrong?

Don't you need a mod to have ammo pass through to teledestinations? Or did that change.

[A1yssa]

In quake4?

That's exactly what I thought when I read this.

@A1yssa: Maybe you should indicate that this is a Quake 4 thread somewhere (forget it if you did so and I missed it).

EDIT: ahhh, you just did exactly that.

Sorry I can't help with your problem, but I'm not into q4 mapping.

no I edited!

but...why my teleporter won't work?



I tried to look at some other's .map, but the origin of the line that connects the teleporter with the teleporter_destination does not move...

Ok, the key to getting rockets/other projectiles to pass through it lies in this part of the instructions that you posted:

o anyTouch, 1
o projectile_trigger, 1

Make sure your trigger looks similar to the following:

[A1yssa]

It is!

Granades come back...

[A1yssa]

I used triggerhotclips instead triggermulti...and now it works!

:\

Good job figuring that out!

I forgot that step when I was messing with a test map a few months ago, and finally went back and looked at the triggers in my other map, and *still* didn't figure it out for a bit because both of those materials use the same editorimage. :icon32:

[A1yssa]

I found the solution on doom3world...

And I learned why I was not able to see the brush clip!
lol, I did not have that option checked in the editor!
^^

Poooour some sugar on meeeeeeeeeee!

:icon29:

Doh, I forgot about the trigshotclip thing. That's tricky. Somebody should update the Q4 mapping FAQ with that... *cough* pjw *cough*

[A1yssa]

shouldn't it works as described in the faq too. should it?

mapping kidnapped me tonight...2:43am here!

LOS is killing me!

Good idea. Done.
