- The Standard Plats Starting At The Top (2 types) - from the QuakeLab
-
- The QuakeLab - http://www.in2nett.com/stevefu/QuakeLab

- TEXTURES:
-
- No actual standard.
-
- ENTITIES:
-
- func_plat or func_door, func_plat, trigger_once and/or trigger_multi-
- ple
-
- WHAT TO DO:
-
- Type 1: Plat starts at top, player walks onto it, goes down, goes up
- and down until player gets off, plat ends up at bottom and waits
- there. Same as E1M3.
-
- Make a brush and place it at it's starting position. Designate it a
- func_plat and give it a targetname. Make a brush of the same size,
- place it where the plat is or just above the plat, and make it a
- trigger_once targeting the plat. This makes the plat start at the top.
- Then set the plat_low_trigger flag for the plat to the 'on' position.
- Set the height of the plat appropriately - see the standard plat
- if you don't understand this.
-
- Type 2: Plat starts at top, player walks onto it, goes down, plat
- goes back to top and waits at the top. Player can disembark, and if
- stuck at the bottom, can still trigger the plat to come back down.
- As per American McGee's response to Thred's webmaster.
-
- This is actually not a plat, but a func_door. Make your flat brush
- and call it a func_door instead of a func_plat. Give this 'doorplat'
- a negative lip which will basically be the equivalent of the height
- for a plat. and an angle of -2 (ie: make the door go down.) Give this
- 'doorplat' a targetname. Make a trigger_once (same size as the
- 'doorplat') and place it just above the 'doorplat', targeting same.
- Make another trigger of the same size, but call it a trigger_multiple,
- and put it at the bottom destination of the 'doorplat'. This allows
- people to recall the plat from below when they walk under the
- 'doorplat'.
-
- OPTIONS:
- sounds, wait, dmg, and speed for the func_door 'plat' can be adjusted.
- In the example file, I've set the dmg to 600 (enough to kill a Sham-
- bler) so don't loiter under the 'plat'! I think you can always set
- messages for the various triggers to print out when they are set off.
- Experiment with the shapes and designs of these plats.
