I want to make it so if you bring a dod_object with a rope model to a dod_object_goal, it makes a func_ladder apear. But I can't figure out how to make it work. How would this be done?

appear how?

1.the entity becomes working

or

2.the brush behind the entity that looks like its the ladder appears

basically. you would set it up 1 of 2 ways. both happen just after the TNT is set.

1- You attach the func_ladder and func_wall to a func_door whcih slides in.

2- You turn the func_ladder on and use a func_wall_toggle to show it appearing.

I'm not to sure they can both be done whcih is why I typed both

Now this is intresting.

There is a third way also and that using a env_renderer to make an invisble wall visible but that is kind of long shot.... since func_wall_toggle only requires one entity..

But how do you turn a func_ladder on AB? Just trigger it ? If thats it, it gives a huge amount of opportunities when it comes to dynamic maps :)

I havent tried it but thats what I'm imagining you can do. if not you may have to screw around wityh the door thing.

aand yeah I knew about env_render and func_wall but the less entitys the better.

Heh, just got xenosaga and forgot about this topic.

I already know how to make the ladder apear, but I dunno how to make the func_ladder apear. maybe it's just not possible?

getting th ladder to appear?
I think you mean to turn on and off. juding byt the fact it has a "name" feild I'd of thought you could. I'll wokr on it once I've got my .fgd up again.

One way is to cover up the func_ladder with a 1 unit larger func_wall_toggle. Then turn off the toggle and the ladder now works.

i made it work by making the
rope a func_door that opens up
{real fast as if it was tossed up with a grappling hook}
and the ladder is a normal (aaatextured)brush entity
that "moves with" the door
the door (rope) starts right in the ground so you cant see it
and gets triggered by the dod_object_goal
then stays open
