Helping with a special effect

[Ramius]

i was wondering if anyone could give me any ideas on how to make my stargate a walk through without having it go all the way to the cielling. here is a screen shot of the stargate so far, as soon as I finish reading all the documents and learn how to post the map I will have you guys look at it and give me feed back, please remember this is my first map.

What's the problem with it? What don't you want to go to the ceiling?

I see. Actually that's not possible with the Cube engine. Sorry :/

[Gibstick]

Make your model unclipped (don't know how, but it is done with stair and tower mapmodels), and then clip it in the Cube Engine?

[eftertanke]

Oh. I thought you were trying to do that with geometry. Ignore my above post.

[Ramius]

actually it is with geometry, thats not a model. I did it using manipulated height fields, and colored lighting. I am sill trying to teach myself how to use blender, and have not attempted to make some have hazard modal that would just look foolish. Guess i'm too much of a perfectionist to try (or just to embarassed). I thank you for taking the time to give me feed back though.

It won't work with geometry the way you want it. You'll need to make a gate-model for this purpose, of find someone making you one. ;)


By the way and because Gibstick confused this a little here:

A mapmodel is always unclipped by default, it has no collision-data at all. The collision is added via the config file or via adding clips in-game.

You can adjust the clipping for any model at the config file, which works like that:

[SELECT ALL] Code:

mapmodel a b c d "name"

//a = x/z dimension of clip
//b = y dimension of clip
//c = model elevation above ground
//d = not used

If d is not used, is it always set to 0?

[Mr.Floppy]

Well, I guess you can set it to whatever you like, but on the default-map-settings it's set to 0, right.
