Help with Smart Props (Pipes)

[quick lion]

Is there any built in cables/pipes that allow you to extend them? I can see those circles what do they do?

[fiery vessel]

From what i know u can drag those and it continues the cable/pipe

Seek more info from this video if u want

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPH3mj-odxQ&ab_channel=EagleOneDevelopmentTeam

The "traditional method" i think its the one u looking for u problem on the video

[quick lion]

Can't drag them at all? It just tries to select like a selection box.

[quick lion]

Yeah that works but doesn't use any of the "fancy" cables that are available like that smart prop in my screenshot?

Unless I'm missing something? Can't figure out what these are for?

[fiery vessel]

try using this and click on where u want the next point

and not drag it.

i think u can drag after u made atleast 2 of them

[quick lion]

It deselects the prop when switching to the spline tool?

[fiery vessel]

what smart prop are u using?

[quick lion]

This one atm

but same thing with all of them

[fiery vessel]

i think im making a bit of confusion smart props and made as props and not custom cable structing if u understand what i mean

smart props are used for example on windows instead of having 4 types of prop_statics u have a prop_smart which has 4 skins on it basically

Is there anything like tile meshes from HLA in CS2? Would love some easy pipes/cables?

[fiery vessel]

i think yes tbh

[quick lion]

Any ideas where to find it?

[fiery vessel]

let me look for it

give me a sec

for cables u can use path tool..

now for pipes not sure about it

From one of my maps i have been using de_nuke pipe props. not sure if tile_meshes are really supported on cs2 rn.. 😐

Hammer on cs2 is really limited by the devs from what source2 offers..

[spark grove]

there arent tile meshes on cs2

i think g kaf has some smartprops for pipes though maybe

but not that kind of pipe i imagine

Looking around the zoo.vmap you can find these gutter parts but I have no idea how to actually use them in hammer?

[fiery vessel]

There is a zoo on smart props just open the vmap under this location.

Counter-Strike Global Offensive\content\csgo\maps\editor\zoo

[spark grove]

copy to ur map

then i think u can do shift+s to modify lengths?

im not sure actually

maybe E

idk

its some button

[fiery vessel]

Its new technology xd

[spark grove]

yeah shift+s

[quick lion]

But how do you add junctions and what not?

In the zoo they have these fancy ones which all link together?

[spark grove]

yeah good question i have no clue

i just did these manually

let me ask a friend

u can scroll over the green bits

w ur mouse wheel

@quick lion

[fiery vessel]

from a clip i saw on twitter u need to use the path tool to move them aswell no?

[quick lion]

AMAZING

[spark grove]

no

[quick lion]

Thankyou that's exactly what I needed haha

[fiery vessel]

not to properly move them but scale them?

[spark grove]

[quick lion]

[spark grove]

[fiery vessel]
