Indiretti Junior Member Posts: 7 From: Registered: Jul 2001 | posted 07-26-2001 05:32 PM Ok, Hi all I'm new at this so I'm sure that I'm going to feel really dumb with some of these questions so don't laugh. Anyway, here are the questions 1. I have one room done as far as i can tell but, i cant figure out how to make a new room. I have read the manual but, it just said that all i need to do is goto 2D mode and click select room button the pick the first empty room then, click ok. Well i do this then i get a room in the same spot as the other one and then i dan't have a clue what to do. 2. this is for Lara servari I'm so stuck in figuring out how to build cloths for lara. I read your website and i still don't get it please help! Thanks All -Indiretti- IP: Logged

U.S.A Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 07-26-2001 06:30 PM I can't help with the room building biz, but maybe if you check out the "TIPS AND TRICKS" section at http://www.geocities.com/tblincoe2000/index.html You may find some useful info there Also, check out DaleR's site at http://www.productivewebpages.com/ and read the complete tutorial on creating outfits with the "Starter.WAD" Hope that helps a little. ------------------ IF YOU NEVER GROW UP, YOU'LL NEVER GROW OLD IP: Logged

Indiretti Junior Member Posts: 7 From: Registered: Jul 2001 | posted 07-26-2001 08:25 PM I got the Door thing down and the room thing down but im having trouble with Triggers i don't understand how they work. Well i do but i'm not sure how to make them work. I have the pink squares placed for the triggers nut how do i activate them and make them work. here is an Example: I have a crossbow with ammo in a corner. When Lara picks it up i have 4 Skeletons wanting to jump up when she grabs the ammo or crossbow. Example#2: I placed a switch on the floor and i want it to open a door to the hallway leading to the next rooms. How do i activate these triggers ?? I have read the manual but it's not helping me its making me more, in the dark. What do i do? P.S. Thanks for all the help i have recived Thanks All -Indireti- IP: Logged

That said... Switch triggers are meant to be used with a real switch (most WADS have one). To trigger a door , for example, you click on the door to highlight it. And without clicking on any other object, click on the floor square you want to use to open the door. Click the pink square and voila, you've done it. The other trigger type are called "special" triggers and only one special is allowed per square, so sometime you have to get ingenious to trigger what you want. For a "pickup" trigger, you have to click on the item, click on the square its on and click pink. The click on the description you see below the pick button. You need to set the trigger type to "pickup". There's more ...you have to set the "object code number" .... d*mn now I can't remeber the number..... but its in the manual. This sets the object to be the object that triggers the event. Ok, I stopped and looked it up (page 83) you have to set the object to 64 (plus pickup type indicator number). For the skeletons. Select skeleton, select same square as pickup, select trigger (pink). Repeat for each skeleton. All triggers placed on the same square as a "pickup" (special) trigger MUST be normal triggers. BUT, they will be triggered by the pickup as well. The special triggers "spread" their meaning over all other triggers on the same square (that's why there can't be two specials!) IP: Logged
