I need lots of help

[Guest]

This may be an easy question for some but I have been tring to build a map for three days now. I have printed and gone through entire help docs. I cannot figure out how to make doors,windows,and just about nething else i need to make a building. I am getting so confused from the help manuals that I'm pulling my hair out. I dont know if I can be helped I guess I need hans on training. Too bad you guys dont offer that. If I could just be shown then I would have no problems i'm sure of it. But if ne one can help me PLEASE do so. THANK YOU

I assume you know how to make sectors, know how to switch from 2D and 3D mode, and know the difference between red walls and white walls. If not, then let us know and we'll try to fill you in basic English. Generally though, the mapfaq at http://mapfaq.3dportal.com is pretty clear about how to do most everything.

For windows:

Make 2 joined sectors. Enter 3D Mode. Move the cursor to the floor in front of the split between the sectors. Press M. That should create a maskwall with the default texture. Put the cursor on the maskwall and hit v. Choose the glass texture that's partially transparent. Hit (left)enter. You should now have a glass "wall" in between the two sectors. Move the cursor onto the glass and press B to make it blocking. Then press H to make it breakable. Load the map up and test it out. The rest is just shaping the sectors the way you want them.

Doom style doors: Make 3 joined sectors. The middle one will be the door. In 2D mode, move the cursor over the middle sector and press T. It will prompt you to enter the sector's lotag. I swore off Doom-doors in favor of sliding doors a long time ago, but if memory serves, type 20 and press (left)Enter. In 3D mode, point the cursor toward the ceiling of the middle sector. Click and hold the left mouse button. Then press pagedown until the cieling lowers itself completely to the floor.

There are other types of doors of course, but those are the easiest to start out with.

Thank you very much. I do know how to make sectors and I just finished learning the doom door technique. I just dont understand all the activators and tags and some sprites. I spent 6 hours today just getting the door to work. And I did that by taking another guys map apart and seeing what sprites he had to operate the door. If you could provide ne more help on the above mentioned I would be thankful. http://www.3drealms.com/ubb/images/icons/smile.gif

In the Buildhelp, sections 7,8 & 9, explains all the tags and thier uses.

The technique will vary depending on which BUILD game you are BUILDing.
