Flares by Raidenator Difficulty: Beginner
Category: HL2 > Mapping	Author(s): raidenator
The render picture was random. This tutorial was put together by Raidenator and shows how to make flares the player can pick up. Open or make a new map and make a large 18 sided cylinder. Make it at least 512 x 512 x height doesn't matter. If you make the x and y dimensions small, it will look sharp and not have all 18 faces. Shrink your large cylinder down to a 2x2x4 cylinder. (Select it then drag the centre handles) As you can see it has all 18 faces and is very small. Make it a func_physbox and give it a name - body. Texture it whatever you want. I find metal hull textures work best. Place an env_flare on top of your physbox. The "x" in the middle of the env_flare entity should be right at the top of the physbox. Name the env_flare flare. Parent it to the physbox. In the Flags tab, check the flag start off. Select your func_physboxopen the Properties Click on Outputs and Add. Enter the following: When the player picks up the physbox, the flare will start burning and burn for 30 seconds. You can make this into a prefab. Select the env_flare and the func_physbox then click on Create Prefab. Name it whatever you want. It will be available to you to place in a map at any time. If you want more than one flare though, you will have to give different names to the two entities.
