Hi guys
I was just wondering if one of you have any idea on how to make a map with several doors, each door represent a map (dustbowl, gravel pit, junction, hoodoo, etc....) and have a picture of the map over the door. Players have to break the door by hitting it, and than run into something that is gonna load the correct map.

So is there a trigger of some sort that i can do to make my server change to the right map, lets say im gonna put around 30 different choice of maps in that map.

I don't know if it's clear and easy to understand?
And here is the other thing, is there a way to make that map and than just change the maps an easier way, lets say in a text file of some sort (like the trigger active load map1.txt and in map1.txt i put the name of the map i want) so i don't have to decompilate, make the changes and then recompilate again.

thanks in advance for any help

P.S. don't go too detailed in your reply, i'm not a mapper but i have someone who is gonna do the map for me, we just need help to know how to change the maps the easiest way.

This sounds confusing....
You may be able to use point_servercommand and send changelevel <mapname>
But you would be better off doing it as a SM plugin I think.

yeah but with that technique im still gonna have to decompile and recompile the map.
so thats why im asking if it can load the name of the map in a text file, so i can change the maps when i want without all the mapping stuff.

You could also probably use your screwdriver to pound in nails, but I wouldn't recommend it...

Sounds like a job for point_servercommand.

Ah, but how could you alter what "Door 1" and "Door 2" and "Door 3" mean (and show it to the users) without a plugin? I suppose you could use an overlay on the doors to print map names and pictures, but then you'd need to be altering or swapping door1.vmt/vtf, right?

You could get by with the exec'ing door1.cfg if it was simply different releases of the same map, with the same overall name and teaser pictures...
