Adding Objects and Items

William · Post by **William** » December 11th, 2009, 1:54 pm

Hello all, I've been messing with Sandbox for ... I'd say maybe a couple weeks now. However, I'd like to go online to find resources to put on (such as textures, mapmodels, etc.) and I was hoping that, after a couple of failed attempts, maybe some one would be patient enough to post a step by step tutorial on how to actually put objects, textures, and things of that nature into Sandbox.

My other question is how do I make items actually capable of being picked up in the game as you play through?

Thanks very much to anyone with the time to respond

I think these tutorials (if they don't totally help) may help a little.

There's probably more that are relevant in this forum regardless: viewforum.php?f=24

Not completely. I have this site that I discovered due to another post.

But unfortunately, I'm not sure what type of file I would need to actually trasfer it and actually get an object file. I keep getting JPG files and ... well I'm not the big computer hacker type guy that I wish I was lol, so I'm not sure what to do, or if I just need to figure out how to use Blender.

if you want the objects to be picked up, set the trigger type to 12.

then when u walk near the object it disappears.

then in ur code u have to assign it to a variable to open doors, etc.

hope this helps

Where is the code, and how do I change it?

I did find out how to make the object able to be picked up so I got a smile out of that haha

To find the code, open up your PAS folder, then go to PACKAGES --> BASE--> YOUR_LEVEL.cfg

Open that file in a text editor and edit away!

Hope that helps.

It's coded in a rather different language than what most people are used to. Since this is basically a revamp of the Cube 2 engine, check out some of the tutorials here to help you get started ::
