Adding Plants

#1 · October 11, 2011, 1:35 pm

Hi.

I am trying to put plants in a level (Like in the first episodes). Do I need to make loads of "prop_static"-s just for a couple of plants?

Thanks!

Prop_static if they're going to be immobile. Prop_dynamic with an active wind entity with a value of at least 1 for them to sway.

Well yeah, but I still need to spam a whole loads of props just to get living plants?

Define living... If you want your plants to actively grow around the test chamber, your outta luck. If you just want plants to sit there and do nothing. Just place a few props. Don't spam them or the level will lag. Probably place about 100 before the level starts lagging.
