Also, i have the music files working in the normal game 

Add a sounds key to worldspawn with a number for the track you want.

I've been working on a death match map that has moving parts, I've noticed that for some reason, things aren't targeting properly. I have 2 moving doors that both use buttons, one of the doors has the targetname da1, with a button targeting it with the target da1, then I have a door with the targetname db2, and a button with the target db2, and what happens is one of the buttons doesn't open a single door, whilst the other button opens both! I need some help. 

This is a very common issue. By default, Quake groups doors which are close by into a single system. If you want to opt-out of this behaviour, you can add the DOOR_DONT_LINK spawnflag (3rd tickbox, numeric value 4) to each of the doors. 

 

I have another question, why do item_blank entities go through the floor sometimes? 

You might wonder why this door linking feature is included. It doesn't seem all that helpful at first, and often confuses mappers (even after they've encountered it before, it's easy to be caught out again!)

But door linking actually has good reasons for existing as well. I'm going to borrow a clear example from Dumptruck's tutorials on Trenchbroom. Take a quick look at theis gold key door setup.

Here, the bars are separated into two different entities, so that they can move in different directions. If they were not linked together, you would require two gold keys to get past, one to unlock the left-hand bars and another to unlock the right!

It's also worth noting that the way that both of the left hand bars are combined into a single entity is crucial to pulling this off. Door are linked if their bounding boxes overlap or touch. The bounding box extends between the left-hand bars, so that they intersect the right hand bar. If all three bars were separate entities, none of them would link, and you'd need three keys to open them all. 

Avoid overlapped items.
Make sure they aren't sticking more than 6 units into the floor.
Make sure there is at least 56 units of vertical space.
Make sure you have at least 1 to 2 units of space on all sides, preferably 4 as a safe minimum.
If you are using JACK/Worldcraft, the fgd file may show the box in an incorrect visual object position relative to the actual origin (look for the X in the 2D views):
•In vanilla Quake, origin is in the bottom left corner
•In AD and other mods, custom items may use the center bottom of the visible item as the origin point instead.
Also, they might fall out if you place an item inside a solid brush such as a door. 

Origin in bottom left corner is for ammo and health boxes only; all else use center bottom. 

does anyone have entity definitions for the team fortress mod? 

or at least the entity names? 

come to our discord channel we can help you. https://discord.gg/j84JMrT ask in the #mapping channel. :) 

 

Where can I find the index number for enemies? I've been searching for information on how to make monsters attack other types. Is there a way to do this within worldcraft? I can't find the entity index online 

But entity edicts changes everytime you delete earlier enemies or items or doors etc. 

Sounds like, someone is living in the past

A) Why you use worldcraft? its 2018 now

B)Default 'Quake' has no method of making enemies attack each other. Look at the source code and new fields available in Arcane Dimensions... 

The spam here is utterly pathetic. Metslime is there any plans to modernize this place? 

you are bit obsessed with modernizing, as it were better. 

you either just suggested google as a form of help or your in a position to easily be confused with a bot linking to google.

if the former, youre a prick. if the latter, your opinions on literally anything will be nullified by bots posting spam.

:shrug: 

also, the place being more modern would remove your position of being confused with bots and having a worthless opinion as a result but :shrug: 

oh hai.

the fact that anyone can post anonymously, without logging in, is a bit silly.

if anon posting was disabled then i think that would remove a lot of the spam problems.

and anyone who is not a spammer who wants to post anonymously is just a malicious dick anyway. will we really miss those posts?
