Hi!

I'm kinda new to the HL2 I/O-System and i build a map to try some things out...

I've created a zombie, some weaps and a door....
I want the Zombie to make the door open when it dies...on the npc_zombie i've created a new output with OnDeath, Door01(thats the name of the door) Open 0.00....but when i kill the zombie, the door doesnt open

can someone help?

Does the zombie spawn into the world on a npc_template_maker?
If so use the template_maker to give a AllSpawnedDead output. if not I dont see any reason why it shouldn't work. Have you checked you have the corret flags checked?
(edit: in object properties the tick boxes under flags tab). make sure the door gets unlocked before its told to open).

can someone tell me how to crate a button with a model (such as the combine-buttons)

In HL1 you could create a brush, tie it to a func_button and then give it a button texture, but i didnt find any button textures....

thx and greetz, SirOffensivus

well it works exactly as you just said and if you don't have button textures make your own or search for some

What valve do is create a prop_dynamic and put an invisible button ent in front of it. When its pressed they call animation changes on the prop_dynamic.

For an example check out the keypad and button prefabs Valve made.

Did you try World Space Glow?

Did you also put ".vmt" or ".spr" after the sprite name?
Hammer doesn't do it itself when you chose the sprite.
