I don't know if it's important but the map is not closed yet, it's leaking 

Then we can determine where this is going wrong.

Somehow I suspect the "color", the garish pink, is getting changed om you. 

OK, I fixed, it

I'm working with PS, I was just picking the color from the Quake palette .png from here:

https://quakewiki.org/wiki/Quake_palette

and applying the Paint Bucket over the texture, all of this on RGB Color mode

It didn't work for some reason

I took the texture and on Indexed Color mode, applied the .act palette

Then changed it to RGB Color mode again and exported

It worked

Thanks for the help

How did you obtain the transparant? 

It's explained here:

I extracted the texture from the GoldenEye .rom 

With Source, there's a lot of detailed information on in-game units, such as player speed, bounding blocks, etc. Check this page: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Dimensions

Where can I find similar info for Quake 3 and Quake 1? 

not sure about Quake 3 but here's some info for Quake 1

for Q3: https://icculus.org/gtkradiant/documentation/q3radiant_manual/appndx/appn_c.htm 

Is that velocity in units per second? 

Looks like it yeah. 

Hi I am trying to make an elevator in my map... the problem I am having is the elevator is triggered by a button... the only problem is when it gets to the bottom it comes back up... how do I make it stop till triggered again at the bottom of the elevator shaft? thanks.

In "vanilla" Quake once a func_plat is triggered it will lower and wait for the player. Once the player steps into the "trigger volume" of the elevator it will rise up.

If you want a elevator that toggles using a button that use a func_door instead. This is covered in my entity tutorial here: https://youtu.be/TQ8MN8V0JuE?t=233

Watch the whole way through as I show how to toggle a door - which is the method you will use to toggle the elevator. 

1. Hi I am trying to make an elevator in my map... the problem I am having is the elevator is triggered by a button... the only problem is when it gets to the bottom it comes back up... how do I make it stop till triggered again at the bottom of the elevator shaft? thanks.

2. I am trying to make triggerable enemies but when i set them some where and apply a trigger to a dog for example i pass the trigger point and it still sits in the spot i had put it.... 

1. There should be a flag to set the elevator to just toggleable.

2. Double check targetnames etc. Should just be a matter of trouble shooting. 

Often the trick to making an elevator that does what you want is to use the func_door class instead, and vary the lip field to get the height you want. In your case you will want to apply the TOGGLE spawnflag to your "door" so that it never moves without being triggered. 

thank you for your help... but what is the plat function for? 

func_plat is designed to be an self contained platform that doesn't need any other triggers to function. So it automatically rises when the player steps on it, and automatically descends again afterwards. It's not useless, but it can't really be customised if you want it to behave differently. 

how do you get a door to go up and down instead of side to side? thanks. 

Set the angle to -1 for up, -2 for down 

Hi all... I was wondering... when I make a secret door to hide maybe an item or something... what do I do to make the game display a "you have discovered a secret"
message? I know I would probably have to trigger it... or is it in the secret door function as an option? thanks.

never mind...found it just wasn't sure how to delete my previous post about the matter thanks. 

I think you missed my post above with the YouTube link that explains plats and doors. Here's the link again:

also here is a long video that explains how secret doors work.

Not really sure if this belongs here or in the General thread.

Since creators of custom maps for Black Ops 3, both multiplayer and zombies mode, do exist, where do these people "hang out"? I went through a few large discords I could find, but they had no mapping/modding channels. Wasn't successful at finding some forum-based community either.

What gives?
