Moving placement helper for portals [solved]

#1 · June 5, 2011, 6:00 pm

Is there any way to have placement helpers moving alongside their portalable brushes?

I currently have a brush which is attached to a panel as shown in the tutorial @ wiki using panel_attach, but i *really* need an info_placement_helper that moves along with it.

I tried to attach it the same way, as i tried gambling around with different settings / functions.

Anyone knows the answer? Would be much appreciated

Cant you just parent it to the brush that is moving? You dont use Attach unless attaching to a prop, with an attachment point.

Just set the parent keyvalue to the entity that's moving, in the case of a panel I would use the panel brush itself instead of the arm for most accuracy.
