How to use 'info_placement_helper' ?

#1 · May 16, 2011, 5:12 pm

Hey there.

Iam tryin to align a portal in the middle of a solid brush. (128 x 128 units)
I tried to use 'info_placement_helper', but it does not work. :roll:

I have tried:
- placing the 'info_placement_helper' at the same spot as the brush
- placing it 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 units in front of the brush
- increased radius to 100
- created a 'func_brush' out of the solid brush and added it as 'Proxy Entity Name'

Could someone describe me step by step, how to do it correctly, please!?

Regards

Use the "Search" feature.

Use info_placement_helper. Put it exactly where you want a portal to be aligned. And if you want to orient the portal specifically just orient info_placement_helper in that way and set Use helper's angles to Yes.
