I've been working on this one section for the past three days, and I'm highly annoyed at Hammer by this point. :cursing:
I'm trying to make a shortcut through the ventilation system on either side of my 5-CP map. I want there to be "airflow" that forces traffic in only one direction at first, but once a team captures the fourth point the "airflow" turns off, allowing traffic in both directions and thus providing an alternate route to the last point. Since this route is between the last point and the midpoint (I'm doing an S-shaped map rather than linear), the "airflow" should turn back on if the pushed-back team recaptures their second point, like it was in the beginning.
I started by filling the vent with trigger_push brushes, but had an issue where it only seemed to push me when I was touching the center of the brush. So I nixed that idea and made the bottom of the vent func_conveyor, and that works better. Due to the nature of func_conveyer, it's not perfect and you can get through the other direction as a Scout by double-jumping, but it's good enough.
Since func-conveyor's only toggle function is for direction (which reverses it -- not what I want), I'm stopping it by setting speed to 0, and restarting by setting speed back to the original 400. It turns off just fine, but doesn't turn back on. The humming sounds I have set around there toggle just fine, but the conveyor stays off. I've tried running it through a logic_relay (to better organize the functions of the vent areas), as well as directly from the capture point's trigger area using the onCapTeam1/2 outputs. No matter what I try, setSpeed 0 works fine to stop it, setSpeed 400 does not restart it.
Help for either the trigger_push or func_conveyor implementation would be appreciated, I don't care which.
