Yep, that's what some admin's do so that's why I though it was a rule, an admin's word is the law.

A script I made earlier for you to use, it is a rainbow trail:
http://www.mediafire.com/?o3guq34ltyj7v9o

Epic fail no. 1
SaD. Heard of it?

ent_fire - A command which can allow you to give scripts properties.

Epic fail no. 2

entity properties, not script properties!

Key Value - A key value which tells the entity to change the entities properties
Value - A number(s) or word(s) which tells the entity to do the key value within this value.

Epic fail no. 3

"Key Value" & "Value" are NOT commands.

wait <Ammount> - Wait commmand allows to make something happen after a certain time. (100 - 1 sec)

Epic fail no. 4

100-1 sec? WTF? Well, it made me lol.

kill - Delete's the entity.

Epic fail no. 5

"kill" kills yourself. Actually "ent_fire <targetname> kill" deletes the entity.

Input - Inputs are commands that cause an entity to change what it is doing.
Output - Outputs are events that fire when an entity's state changes.

Epic fail no. 6

Input/Output are NOT commands. omfg. And the "description" of Input is wrong as well. "change what it is doing". Holy cow.

You can add as much "Addoutput's" as you want.
Anything with <...> must be filled in (Do not include <> but do include "")
ent_create <Name of Entity>
ent_fire <Name of Entity> addoutput "targetname <New name the entity>"
ent_fire <New name of Entity> addoutput "Key Value"
ent_fire <New name of Entity> <Input>

Epic fail no. 6

Actually you can also add as MANY (not much, omfg) inputs as you want. But this is also kinda wrong, because there's no entity that has infinite inputs and keyvalues.

wait <Ammount of time>;

Amount of time? Seconds? Years? Minutes?

Open up "Sour ce SDK", open "Hammer Editor"

*Source

lol.

Click file, new, [...blabla bullshit bla] Click the "Selection To [more bullshit] nd hit apply.

Well, nice try, but you won't find out the keyvalues of brush entities with this.

out the "Input's" and "Output's" of your entity click the "Help" button next to "Smart Edit" and

*Inputs *Outputs

To open up a console press the button ` or ~ (The button under "esc")

*key *below

All in all this tutorial sucks, not just because I don't like it, but because it sucks. Many things are explained wrong and aren't useful for newbies.
Also you're new into scripting and shouldn't make a tutorial if you don't even know much about it. It was a nice try, but you gonna learn about your faults.

Don't take words like "epic fail" or "made me lol" too personal.

Over and out fuck off and i hate you all

your beloved Stefan

I still hate y'all

PS: The .docx-file of this tutorial (Demon's file is a .pdf file, sucks pretty much CLICK HERE

[ant_8490]

SaD, check this out!

SaD??

SaD - Share and Die.
Don't share, download scripts or you will be banned from area51 cheatserver.

This isnt SaD... And im pretty sure it doesnt apply to this script.

Waits:
has to be like a timeline of events

Code: Select all

wait 5; Line 1
wait 5; Line 2
wait 5; Line 3
wait 5; Line 4
wait 5; Line 5
wait 10; Line 6
wait 10; Line 7
wait 10; Line 8
wait 10; Line 9
wait 15; Line 10
wait 15; Line 11
wait 15; Line 12

[fire1000678]

Oh, okay. Thanks. I'll be sure to make changes.

[ant_8490]

There's other problems too like:

Code: Select all

ent_fire env_fire addoutput "targetname fire_trail"

You didnt even create an env_fire

[Nicdel]

Timeline of events is a nice description for the new wait.

[Xseba360]

the thing that wait 100; is 1sec or w/e is kinda wrong. It also depends on your fps. I always enable vsync (always 60 fps) when i spawn somethin or the spawn usualy fails.
