Sound Model

[Blues]

As decals don't create their own sounds when you are walking on them, fug4life asked me to make a model with the slime surfaceprop for his halloween mapadd.
It's a little bumpy as you can see in the picture below. Fug4life asked me to make it like this so if you walk on it you will notice this bumpiness maybe making it feel a little more as if you were walking in something with obstacles in it.



This is the collisionmodel of the model. The model itself uses Nodraw as texture and thus will not be seen.
The whole model is about 128x128, the height of the bumps is about 3 or four inches
Walking on it you will hear squishy slime sounds.

This Model might come in handy for mapadds or parts of your map where you don't want to put

slimy displacements.

And if anyone wants models like this for any mapadd misions or just to have nice effects for their decals, please contact me and i might make them for you

Hmm, good idea actually. This one could always be changed to make different sounds as well. Good show.

Just wanted to say thanks for the model, I had my doubts about just how much of an impact it would make and whether it was worth the effort for a map add. The result is yes it was more than worth it.

Just a note to others, make sure you set your 'render mode' in the prop_dynamic's object properties to 'do not render'. A mistake I made (thanks blues;).

Otherwise you will have a console that's spammed so fast by a certain error that you won't even be able to copy the error message without stopping the game (as fug told me).

Oh and If you're making map-adds without hammer and mapadd generator, then this might be of interest for you:

Code: Select all

           ...
           "rendermode" "10"
           ...

I like to describe it as 'console in free fall'
