So. I jsut got the map creator thingy for half life, and managed to make a box.
Yes, so very shocking. I made a box.
But i ahve some questions. I've been playing around with things for a while now, and i still can't figure out how to make textures stick to things. (i followed the direcitons, but they(my boxes) are nonstick or something). So. Here's my list of questions, and if i can make myself do the work, I MIGHT make a map for you all......
1). Textures
a. How to place them on objects
b.How to place them on ONE side only
2). Entities
a. What are they
b. What do they do?
3). Chopping
a. Again, what is it?
b. What does it do?
4). Paths
a. Again, what are they?
b. What does it do?
Any help you could give me would be appreciated. Also, any hlep you oculd give me pertaining to tricks of teh mappar's trade would be nice too.
FYI- Heres my idea for a map-
Aliens have alnded on a colonized civilian planet, and taken up residence ina local high school. Marines would start in one of the entrances, alien hives'd be in the Main staircase, Cafeteria, and Pool.
More to come, after i actually make something resembling a map.
