Does anyone know how to make it so once the players flashlight hits of a zombie the zombie flees?

#

The easiest way would be to do a trace

#

There's not going to be a guide on this if that's what you're looking for

#

acoustic valley The easiest way would be to do a trace

explain what a trace is

#

I was asking other people have done this before

acoustic valley Mar 30, 2023, 2:54 PM

#

The simplest way I could explain a trace is that it's a vector where you check what that vector collides with

#

Also there are no vscripts for HL2

#

Mapbase added support for it

#

But there are no vscripts for HL2 made by valve

cold mortar Mar 30, 2023, 2:55 PM

#

How did valve make a game on this

acoustic valley Mar 30, 2023, 2:55 PM

#

They wrote the code in C++

cold mortar Mar 30, 2023, 2:55 PM

#

Yes but they used hammer too

acoustic valley Mar 30, 2023, 2:56 PM

#

Hammer is used for making maps and some game logic but a core AI behavior changing feature is going to be actual code

cold mortar Mar 30, 2023, 2:56 PM

#

So if i get mapbase

#

I can make VSCRIPT

acoustic valley Mar 30, 2023, 2:57 PM

#

Yes

cold mortar Mar 30, 2023, 2:57 PM

#

"No, you do not need Mapbase to use VScripts in Hammer SDK 2013. VScripts are a built-in feature of the Source engine and can be used without any additional tools or plugins.

However, Mapbase does include additional functionality for VScripts, such as new functions and improved performance. If you are using Mapbase, you may have access to additional features when writing VScripts. But for basic VScripting, you do not need Mapbase."

acoustic valley Mar 30, 2023, 3:00 PM

#

Lol whoever told you this does not know what they're talking about

#

Vscript was introduced on the AWS branch and back ported by Sam

cold mortar Mar 30, 2023, 3:02 PM

#

Is there a video on how to download mapbase

acoustic valley Mar 30, 2023, 3:02 PM

#

I don't know, there might be. You should probably check

cold mortar Mar 30, 2023, 3:02 PM

#

i am looking on there gitub on how to download it

#

but theres no videos that i can see

#

the insturctions are unclear

acoustic valley Mar 30, 2023, 3:06 PM

#

You should actually try before coming to ask for help

#

You didn't even spend 5 minutes before coming back here to tell me you couldn't figure out downloading

#

Did you click any of the links on the page or search at all before coming back here

#

Because I can tell that you didn't

#

If you want to make something you are going to need to actually put some effort in

cold mortar Mar 30, 2023, 3:10 PM

#

acoustic valley Because I can tell that you didn't

Your assuming, I did look into it instantly, i read the github i read the instructions i am still unsure I asked if there was videos on how to download it, i already checked and i could not see any that showed me how too, i was only asking. hence why i am in the 'hammer help' channel, and don't comment on what effort i am putting in, its been 2 days and i still desperatly am finding ways to do this and find work around because i think it would be amazing and add a unique feature to my maps and plot.

acoustic valley Mar 30, 2023, 3:15 PM

#

You didn't even click the wiki tab on GitHub...

cold mortar Mar 30, 2023, 3:15 PM

You are assuming

cold mortar Mar 30, 2023, 3:18 PM

#

acoustic valley Mar 30, 2023, 3:18 PM

#

Mapbase is separate

Ep2 does NOT have vscript support

This is a modified version of ep2

cold mortar Mar 30, 2023, 3:20 PM

#

So thats out of the question, i cannot use

#

MapBase

#

it will too much hastle

acoustic valley Mar 30, 2023, 3:21 PM

#

Cool so how do you plan to implement your feature without using vscript or modifying code?

cold mortar Mar 30, 2023, 3:22 PM

#

You tell me

#

I am always open for suggestions

acoustic valley Mar 30, 2023, 3:23 PM

#

acoustic valley Mar 30, 2023, 3:23 PM

cold mortar Mar 30, 2023, 3:23 PM

acoustic valley Mar 30, 2023, 3:23 PM

#

If this is your response to a minor problem then you are way out of your league

cold mortar Mar 30, 2023, 3:24 PM

#

Your the one assuming and saying i am not putting effort, i am asking for help and you keep responding with this,

#

If your not going to help me then please, save me some time and not respond, if you are great.

acoustic valley Mar 30, 2023, 3:25 PM

#

Here's the answer. You tell everyone on your team they are going to deal with setting up Mapbase

#

You need to figure out how to run a team first before you get to the actual modding

cold mortar Mar 30, 2023, 3:25 PM

We are all knew to this, and doing this step by step, its fun and painful, but we wanted to do this,

#

We know majority of things, but this feature we want to implement has became a struggle to do

acoustic valley Mar 30, 2023, 3:27 PM

#

What part are you having trouble with

#

Because the instructions are pretty clear on how to download and setup

The easiest way for me or anyone else to help is if you can provide exactly what it is you would like to accomplish and what you have tried so far. I'm pretty busy for the rest of the day so I can not respond often.

If you give me all the details of what you are trying to accomplish I will try to provide you information
