Non-Jump Walls

[DeRiisen]

quick question im making a jump map and on some jumps i need walls that you cant jump off and I've tried a few ways but the sorta worked but i get other problems so i was just wondering whats the best way about making them?

[johnnyenglish]

add

surfaceparm slick

to the shader

[DeRiisen]

wouldn't that get rid of the texture??? can you go into more detail on doing that, im a noob.

[Rylius]

No, it just means the surface makes you slide off

[DeRiisen]

no what i mean is if i put that on my wall i wont get my wall texture ill get the invisible slick texture?

[Rylius]

Don't put the slick texture on the wall, add "surfaceparm slick" to the shader of the texture used by the wall

Or just don't make the wall 90°, if it's angled a bit you won't be able to jump either

[DeRiisen]

how do i add it as i said im a noob i dont really know what your talking about

[johnnyenglish]

If you're using an image to texture your wall you'll need to create a shader in your shader file - if your image is called fred.jpg create a shader like this

Code: Select all

textures/jump_map/slick_fred:q3map
{
surfaceparm slick
surfaceparm nodamage
}

Then use the shader (slick_fred) rather than the image

another noob question where do i open the jpg and put this code??

[johnnyenglish]

there's other topic in the wiki that might help
