[laurahentschel]

Hello. Thank you all in advance.
I need to know if I can put an item like ammo floating in the air in some way, from an override.

Nah, but I guess you will have to wait until someone comes by to answer the question.

btw. I saw this in Jester's jtuat.bsp
The railgun is over nothing, in the air.

No. Te problem was not fixed.

If I use this the ship looks big

{
"origin" "1490 -54 272"
"classname" "ammo_slugs"
"count" "50"
"angle" "174"
"model" "models/ships/bigviper/tris.md2"
}


Why if i use this the ship looks small?

{
"classname" "misc_viper"
"targetname" "ship1"
"target" "ship1_p1"
"origin" "1491 14 -68"
"speed" "850"
"angle" "130"
"model" "models/ships/bigviper/tris.md2"
}

How can I do to put a floating space ship but with his big size?

[LHentschel]

Also I tried this and not work...

{
"classname" "misc_viper"
"targetname" "ship1"
"target" "ship1_p1"
"origin" "1491 14 -68"
"speed" "850"
"angle" "130"
"model" "models/ships/bigviper/tris.md2"
}

Well, I dont map anymore, but I am sure some of our members knows about this.

And welcome to the site.

I don't get it, are you trying to make ammo_slugs floating?

The only way I know, is to put a 1x1 unit large brush in one of the corners for the ammo box, and make it invisible and slick..

[LHentschel]

I want a mother ship over floating the map. Must be huge. But i want to do it from a override, because I dont know about decompile and compile, and is not right I think. Thank you

Gladiator bot comes with an easy converter for .bsp to .map, I dunno if the licensing for the map you are working with will allow it though.

[LHentschel]

Maybe not. But is the same with the edge an original DM id sfotware map. There are many versions of all DM Maps.

Anyway i would not know how to add the invisible element in the air to put the space ship over that element. Because i dont know 3d design.

Thank you

You'll need an editor like GtkRadiant and the .map file. You create a brush under the entity and assign the surface properties slick & nodraw to it. I'm on my way to a party & drunk atm but I'll explain it in greater detail tomorrow if needed.
