[QUOTE=Fabled.;35518938]Hello,
I am currently making a Half life 2 modification. Not exactly great with coding or hammer but on my way. I will probably be on this threat, asking a lot of stupid questions but here goes.
I currently have a house, and while going though it I want the character to talk to him self kind of like a point and click adventure game. Such as, there is a smell of rotting flesh so he would say
[I]"Ugh, something smells like death.[/I]
And have that pop up as subtitles, I mite be adding voice acting, but that would be down the development cycle. Thanks for any help given.[/QUOTE]
Look at default sound scripts to gain knowledge on how to add subtitles, use a point_clientcommand to execute a "play" command (or use an ambient_generic and set it to "play everywhere")
I only have basic knowledge in this area, so this may not be the best answer.

Is there any way to fix the weird shadows and bright spots on/around my displacements? This is for CSS.
How would I go about simulating skybox lighting in an indoor area?
[QUOTE=Dougley;35521054]How would I go about simulating skybox lighting in an indoor area?[/QUOTE]
Maybe clip the ceiling horizontally into 2 parts, turn the lower part into func_brush so it won't cast lightmap shadows and then put brushes with toolsskybox texture between the two ceiling layers
This is kinda silly though
Do I even understand your question correctly?
Like the skylights in the first trainstation map (before the security checkpoint)? Try a window textured brush tied to func_illusionary.

I have a problem with objects in the basement I have constructed in my map. Even though there isn't any light in the basement, the objects shine like they are in the light. I have tried numerous things to get it to work, but nothing has solved my problem. I will include the compile log below in case there is something in there that someone can spot.

Any leak is an issue. The entity used is just the closest entity to the hole.
Can somebody PLEASE HELP me...cause ive tried everything most of the suggestions say its a leak , but ive checked multiple times there isnt a single leak in my map .
I cant get the water to show at ALL
I tried env cube map , build cube map , ....simply nothing works. Is CSS just that shitty or am i missing something ?
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/hIfgS.jpg[/IMG]
PM me the VMF. I'll check for leaks.
You can also do Map>Load Pointfile to make SURE there aren't any leaks.
You might not have all of the water block's faces other than the top one set to the nodraw texture.
[editline]Now for my question[/editline]
Is an aiscripted_schedule better for npc movement than a scripted_sequence?
A leak is caused by a hole in the map. This can also be caused by func_detailing the skybox.
Rememeber, the map cannot be sealed by entities (such as func_detail), water or displacements.
Where can I grab some textures for a realistic house??
For a multiplayer map, what would be the best way to have players "put on" a suit that allows them to traverse a radiation filled room, and die if they enter the room without having picked up a suit? I'd probably create a machine that spawns a new suit each time a radiation suit is taken.

Sounds to me like you could use the Item_suit model, and then turn it into a custom entity that allows you to withstand radiation. Probably an easier way, but that's my take.

Yeah, I'm planning on using the HEV suit model and having it disappear when the player takes it/touches it, but I'm not sure what process to use to have each player be unaffected by the radiation trigger_hurt after they grab a suit. This is for a TTT map I'm creating by the way.

That sounds easy enough.
I think I'll do a tutorial on that.
