Hammer test 1

Description
This is a simple testmap in hammer. It started with just one button and has been expanded ever since. You can expect some custom things, like a cubedropper and a neat lightshow. Also, there's a hint system that allows you to finish this really hard map.

If you are looking for a puzzle, then you should skip this map probably. Its more a test and showcase than anything else. If you want to see what I did with hammer though, go take a look. You might get inspired to use the ideas in your map.

Thanks. Actually, no it was fairly easy.

The lighting which seems very complex, is just a light with a custom light setting of z0000, the next 0z0000, etc... To make it nicer, I added a fading effect: ez0000, next 0ez000 etc...

A button changes all lights's effect and reverse the custom light setting.

The custom dropper is a matter of a spawn object in a shaft, and some doors below it.

The hinting is a matter an object that gives the hint. text displaying is also an object, and some hammer logic with gates and stuff to tie it all together.

The circle around the arrow is a matter of using the right texture, and it works automatically.

Very hard to do in Hammer.
Even me I don't know how to do that stuff.
So, great map.

Thanks :) This is just me testing though. I made some pretty good puzzles too.

Small map, but really quite cool :)

Yeah, crazy idea indeed. X)

The map has been updated yet again with most likely the last update. The hints system is now fully working. I do notice a significant slow-down in the map, but I have a feeling its my pc acting up. If you also notice that it goes really slow in the tunnel, please report here so I know I have issues to fix. Of course if such exists, there'll be another update once I fix the problem. :)

It was a crazy idea anyway. Don't bother, I'll shut up about the extravaganzas.
