Source SDK Tutorial - Special Effects

[@aquaticpears3183]

Scrolling fast through the comments and seeing hundreds of Phillip's comments is a wholesome experience

[@MrLyosea]

I must say phillip has matured in the past 5 years...here in this video hes very pushy sounding.(1:02) "It's it's easy!!!!"

[@room___]

+Sean .Lyons thats part of his humor, he often congratulates the viewer on incredibly simple tasks and sometimes when dictating a key combination you need to press, he cuts to him walking across the room with his hand out and dramatically presses the combination of buttons

[@equaleyez]

well this is one fine tutorial, everybody starts with "euhm, basicly, you open hammer, euhm, ....." You go straight to the point! nice job

[@Ricksdetrix]

@thegregster101 For your first question, you should be able to make a trigger in the area which you want the glow to start, make a light, change the colour and brightness, then you need a bunch of stuff which goes beyond what I know.

[@bschou]

Hey 3klik. Thanks for making and uploading these to youtube. Very helpful to a beginning mapper like myself

[@B0yardigi0rn0]

Your videos are SO useful! Thank you so much for posting them!

[@Phantom11530]

dont know if you remember me but i was the one that couldnt make fire in portal but i figured out how to do it. You need to make an info_particle_system them make one of the portal fire particles and you have to use a trigger hurt. hope that helped other people.

[@SuperMrmine]

nice man, you are the best teacher for Source sdk or csgo

[@SuperCityscan]

It's weird to read this comment section and see how casual your answers and you answer a lot of the questions (I assume a lot of them got deleted). Thanks, KZbin Algorithm.

[@EwDirt]

I thought so, I found out in the EP2 engine you can modify the thickness of the preciptipation, I guess I'll try that along with multiple func_precipitations in one spot.

[@Markf250]

For some of you that download the example map given you may receive an error (and a game crash) when mapping for HL2. To fix this you need to change the info_player_terrorist (which is obsolete) into a info_player_deathmatch. Everything else in the example map seems to work except for the floor texture. Hope this helps!

[@Seany1616]

The wavy heat thing is called a Heat-mirage :)

[@AguyinaRPG]

I HATE working with fire. It's so hard to make a decent campfire because the entity keeps breaking the wood even when I put the damage to nilche. Thanks for the tutorial man!

[@MapleGenesis]

Interesting, when i put in fire i see a little sprite, but i don't see the animated fire, it also does not show up in game.

[@DeadPixelWarThunderAllDay]

Tutorial On How To Make Water Fountains?

[@its-natalieeee]

+Dead Pixel Put in a static prop, then type in fountain.

[@Therealguymins]

i set the fires options to start on but i don't blame you. i just probably did it wrong. ill try it again next map.

[@ExSadanobu]

First : Your tutorial are the best around because of good explaining and funny things you do or say Second : Have you ever played left4dead 2 ? There' a combination of effect in one campaign wind+rain stronger+blur vision+ dunno what else can you help me to understand this ?

[@MrLulucas93]

@atvkid217 First you need create a entity "point_servercommand" and give it a name. Then create a trigger box and give it "trigger_multiple". In the "trigger_multiple" box, create a output and do: My output named: OnStartTouch Target entities named: (the name you give to the point_servercommand) Via this input: Command With a parameter override of: say DOOR OPEN IN 5 SECONDS It is not the only way to do it...Depends on what you gonna do I hope it helped =)

[@missingtextureman101]

Windows XP and unregistered hypercam, glorious.

[@harrym2457]

if it didnt work for u even though its ur thing, yeah i had to go on to flags and turn on dtart on, other size i had to damage the entity for it to light

[@danbad89]

@3kliksphilip you're a champion. cheers ^ ^

[@UltraWindow]

so these effects have properties like for an example: an explosion effect can hurt a certain amount of health, and with help off a parent it can move. correct me if im wrong, i want to learn :D

[@Beardactal]

3kliksphilip, I understand this is a big question, but how can you make info_particle_system create fire? I can't believe Valve didn't look this through completely! Making fire used to be so easy. Now it's 2-3 times harder! I've been working on a "party" map on HL2 for about almost a day, and I realized I needed fire to add that, "pizazz" effect for extra realism.

[@MusicF4]

make sure to check "Don't run the game after compiling" before compiling, start css, and create a server with your map

[@kebabuk]

i think you just have to name all the fire with the same name and then with your button in the outputs find the fire name in target (its called something like target or something im not sure) and then it should work

[@danbad89]

hey mate you've been a legend when it comes to helping me with sdk but i have a question that i dont think you've covered. how do you make flickering lights? ie my map im making is psuedo-post apocalyptic and in my thoughts flickering lights and sparks etc are essential. Doom 3, fallout 3 etc are the look im going for.

[@gerb0n]

This is very handy thanks. But how are you testing it? You see the fire burn and the lasers going. How the heck are you doing that? Is there a button for it or something?

[@subtector]

philip help me:O canu tell how to get as glass on one side and wall on other side but u can see out from one side but from other side u only can see the wall?

[@EwDirt]

philip what type of enviorment entitie would I use for falling water?, as so that it looks like it is falling out of a pipe.

[@Thekapstok]

What do you use to record? And does it cost money?

[@harrym2457]

how can i make the fire trigger, for instance i want to walk trough past a certain part and then there is an explosion then fire, also how can i make an explosion, thanks alot this helped ;)

[@tornado4440]

k thx ill try that

[@vallismall]

the guy who made surf_japan knows how to do it , if u can get in touch with him he might teach u

[@Mewka3]

3kliksphilip is the best!!!!

[@Seany1616]

Hey dude, ive been on this for quite a while and i decided to ask someone who could probably come back with a decent response, I have made and env_laser and a info_target and i have linked them, i now have a working laser beam. How would i get the laser beam to move back and forth / up and down?

[@supermachine2275]

How would I add some light gas emanating from a pool of radioactive coolant? Any recommendations?

[@Phantom11530]

thanks for the response. Not to seem like a jerk or anything but how exactly do you compile a portal map.

[@GR3AVE5Y]

Hi do you know how to make like a burst pipe effect with gushing water do you need like scrolling textures etc?

[@bloodlust1000]

Make a folder in you C or D drive (somewhere you can remember it) e.g. C-Program files-"your folder name" Then in the hammer go to file "save as"

[@theRPGmaster]

thanks, that's seriously useful!

[@Resetonedw]

@devhook23 env_funnel was used in half life (the CS condition zero MOD one).. i decompiled a map.. and i found some of those..for the sound ambience effect i think ..like if u walk in a ventilation it sound like an echo..i dunnow. but in source engine i don't see any effect..lol confusing XD or if some one knows whats the use of this please tell me XD

[@firefail1]

hmm i am using HL2 as my base game, it doesn't appear to be showing up when i launch the game??

[@Dev45tater]

How do you make a env_laser switch to a different info_target right after it hits the first one and so on...?

[@MNC117]

Oh dear... Your channel has gotten so popular; I'm getting ads :(

[@depholade]

How can I do dripping water that leaks out of a pipe? Func_Precipitation won't work because it doesn't load untill your in the brush.

[@Phantom11530]

I got a question. Whenever I make fire it dosent show up. I am making a portal map. I can hear it and it also hurts me but i cant see the fire. btw nice video

[@8IGT]

Uhmm , I did what you did with fire but when I run the map it's not there , Idk what im supposed to do , I put it onto a car hood if that does anything.

[@Makrillol]

Thank you once again! your videos are so helpfull!

[@HELI0PH0BE]

Alright, I think think this would go here... I'm making a map that has an execution room type thing. I'm applying decals to the walls and floor, but I cannot rotate them with Ctrl+M, or the rotating tool. HELP?

[@AAAZ2A]

Hey, do you know how to make a spawning weapon get more ammo, you know if a place a weapon in Hammer it will start with one mag ONLY

[@Generic_Grunt]

yo dude, im having this trouble where i dont have any boxes for anything in the "flag" section, if there is any answers please do tell

[@kkevinC]

awsome tutorials once again

[@thegrayson]

I have a VERY urgent question concerning a certain effect. Which effect is the one that looks like "warp drive". its like stars going past you very fastish. I Want to make it into a 3d skybox cause on the super smash bros toybox map it has it and it is freaking sweet!!!

[@GR3AVE5Y]

@3kliksphilip its just finding them XD

[@erikkaaa22]

for css of course ^^

[@zaysef]

what about the helicopters? Do you have a tutorial on animated props?

[@Thekapstok]

@xDjAsOnF i know but in his new versions he uses different stuff

[@LoveLPjertz]

Do you know how to do smoke or flash with a effect? So when i pick up a smoke i will get the effect

[@Donutslayer7]

is it possible to just use one of the env_ and expand it, I guess it really depends on the entity, I'm trying to widen the env_fire so it's a huge sea of flames below you, but I think I might have to just use who knows how many flames

[@devhook23]

what does the env_funnel do? it has no settings, and doesn't seem to have any effect on anything

[@blinx503]

i cannot get env_smoketrail to work, and i really want smoke that will look a different color so i can make it look like poison

[@alcyone88]

how can you make an effect from which when you are in a warehouse and every sound you make. theres echo. how do you do that?

[@r0xa5894]

nice, thank you ^^ Now i know ALL about the Hammer ed =)

[@mateope10]

is there any way to make a laser that points a player and follows him? like making the info_target's pattern to the player? :D

[@L3G3nD0001]

Is there a way to make a prop "glow" or make it seems like it's glowing? I wanted to have it glow like env_sprite.

[@jazzsolo84]

How do you make fire that can be turned on with a button?

[@tornado4440]

how do u get ragdolls to work? in one of my maps i am making ive placed a ragdoll but it doesnt show up in game...

[@recon13579]

i did that with a trigger texture and gravity only has 1 or 0 which means normal or none....

[@MrKr0be]

Hey Philip, when I go to change the sprites for things like env_explosion, it will open up the texture viewer but it gives me no sprites to chose from. Any ideas?

[@ewegfyciwdcd11]

@3kliksphilip Excuse me, but do you know which effect is used in the tunnel of the map De_dust2? you know, the yellow dust particles that floats around in the air?

[@spliffern2662]

func_dustmotes (yes i know this is 9 years late)

[@gmodman999]

[@rich98521]

[@minibulten]

[@kroskrans]
