Well, I just started out with Hammer, and decided to do the arrival and departure elevators as a first thing. I followed the tutorial by TopHattWaffle (just the instances, not the transitions), and I can't get it to work. I have the arrival_departure_transition_ents instance arrival video value set to media/aperture_logo.bik, and media/fizzler.bik as the departure video value. Launching the map in game doesn't show the videos. Any ideas on how to get it to play? Also, should I attach the .vmf file somehow (how would I do that here?). Thanks for reading this, and have a good day.

Valve basically broke the normal elevators with the PTI update, so they always play random videos unless they are a campaign map. Use Brainstone's Hardcoded elevator instances.

There are already some threads about this, try to always search (that "Search" button at the top of this page) before posting a new thread in order not to repeat the topic.

Thanks for the help, this seems to work. The only problem was that after I left, the elevator went all the way up, then disappeared leaving me to freefall down the shaft. I had to escape to exit.

Sorry, I didn't mean to do another thread. I didn't see that post when I used the search. Sorry about that.
