Am I Ready? (only post answers) Thread

I have no coding experience, but i need to know how hard it would be for me to open the hl2 sdk and do this:

- Make it so that when a certain NPC gets killed, a hidden trap door opens. Also to make a button open a hidden trap door.

Then all i will need to do is learn how to compile everything.

Thanks.

That should be possible to do with hammer. no coding or compiling required. not 100% sure though

Yeah, using a trigger, you just have to walk over something, and it could operate a trap door. I've seen things like that before implemented into maps through Hammer.

Don't know any tutorials, though.

well the #1 thing im concerned about is making a trap door open once you kill someone. i think that's code...

btw, anyone know a great forum for hl2 coders and coding questions?

I don't know about HL2 but in every other engine I've seen you can make the death of an npc trigger events without needed to code anything.

And if you have no coding experience, and if you don't know C++ or C, this would be basically impossible.

not if its how mauvebib put it. thanks mauvebib. ill have to check that out once its time...
