triggers
can some one explain how i make triggers?
Well, I presume you know how to create brushes.
1. Chose the tools/tooltrigger from the texture menue
2. Create a brush the size of your trigger, make sure the tooltrigger texture is applied to it.
3. With the select-tool, right-click on your brush in one of the sideview windows (not the 3D-view), and select "Tie to entity"
4. Your brush is now an entity. In the dropdown-list at the top of the properties-window, choose either trigger_once for a single-use trigger, or trigger_multiple for a multiple-use trigger.
In order to use your trigger, you need knowledge of Input/Output-systems, you can find more information about triggers, I/O, Hammer and the Source-engine on:
"Duct Tape is the answer."
Really curious how you were able to make a blank post! --GLaDOS

ok, so how a trigger works is this.
1.You make your trigger, (a trigger once, to only be able to be 'tripped' one time, or a trigger multiple, able to be 'tripped' infinite tiems.)
2.You a)check flags for what you want to 'trip' this trigger,
b)if you need to, make and set a filter for your trigger.
3.Set its Outputs. (Use OnStartTouch if you want this trigger to send an output when a valid item touches it, OnEndTouch(All) if you want this trigger to send an output when a valid item, onendtouch, stops touching it, or when no more valid items are touching it, onendtouchall.)
I know this isn't the best tutorial, but the best way to learn Hammer, and its features, it to just make a small map, put a trigger in it, walk into the trigger, and tweak it until you figure it out and it works. Eventually, it'll just click, and you'll be like OMFGEEZUS!!! IGETTHISNOWWWWW!!!!!:DDDD
hope it helped,
