Mapping
2Fort Example Ctf map
To map for Paint World it is actually pretty simple. This mapping tutorial will focus on generic maps. You could get carried away and make really wierd maps but that is up to you.
This is not about how to map, just the entities required.
To start off you will need spawns. Spawns are just CSS player Terrorist spawns and Counter Terrorist spawns. Terrorist is Red and Counter is Blue.
Next you will need Powerups. I like to put my Powerups on a sort of stand like thing. So players can see where they are going to spawn. The entity name for powerups are ‘pw_item’.
The next thing that you might want to have is toggling brushes. This means that they can toggle on and off. So one minute a wall might look like a wall the next it could be a secret passage. To do this you will need to make a ‘func_brush’ and then name it ‘trigger_brush_<number>’ replayer <number> with an increasing number of how many you have (startig at 1). You don’t have to change the settings of the brush but can if you want (not sure if it will work if you do change settings)
Then you will need a ‘pw_gametype’ entity. Give it a key of ‘gametype’ then the value should be from the list below:
ra – Race
dm – Deathmatch
ctf – Capture the Flag
ca --Canvas
This tells the gamemode which gametype your map will play on.
This is all that you generally need for each gamemode. Also a reccommendation. Name your maps with the gametype in them. A good example is my map ‘pw_ctf_smallfield’. It shows that it is a capture the flag map and makes it easier for people that want to player capture the flag to choose a map.
Below are gamemode specific entities.
Capture the flag
For capture the flag you will need to make trigger called pw_capture. Then you will need to add a key: team and a value of either blue or red.
Do the same for the flags but make an entity and call it pw_flag.
If you want to have brushes that are only open when your flag is not picked up, just create a brush that has a name of brush_ctf_red or brush_ctf_blue
Deathmatch
Deathmatch is the easiest to map for. Mainly because you don’t need any entities.
Race
Race is also an easy to map for gamemode. All you need at the end of the course is a brush trigger entity called ‘pw_capture’.
Canvas
To map for Canvas you will need to place ‘func_brush’ brush entities where you want players to capture. I like texturing them white so you can see who has tagged them. Once you have done that you will need to name them ‘paint_<number>’. Replace number with numbers going up with the amount of Canvas’ you have. (start at 1). This is all you need to do to map for Canvas’.
