- TEXTURES:
-
- No actual standard. Use PLAT_STEM for a military plat's support post.
-
- ENTITIES:
-
- func_plat
-
- WHAT TO DO:
-
- Make a flat rectaungular brush. This is the useful part of the plat.
- Make a tall brush which is smaller in diameter and position it under
- the flat brush. This is the support to make it look good. The brushes
- should be drawn so that they appear to be in the extended position.
- Select both brushes. Designate this pair of brushes a func_plat in
- one shot. This way they will move as a single unit. The plat moves
- down appropriately by its height - if you make only the flat brush,
- it will move down only by the thickness of the brush rather than
- going right to the floor. In that case, you would set the height to
- the height of the brush as if it were extended to the floor. PLATS
- MUST ALWAYS BE DRAWN IN THE EXTENDED POSITION!
-
- OPTIONS:
-
- You can make some fancy looking plats by multi-selecting collections of
- brushes and designating them as a single func_plat in one shot. Cages, that
- sort of thing. speed and sounds can be set to your liking. You might also
- want to put in stuff that makes sense, like tracks along the sides, a
- covering rim at the base for the support shaft like in the example file, etc.
