Hi there guys and gals,

Well the subject line says it all. Whenever the player dies and the last save (logic_autosave) is loaded, the music (ambient_generic fired via logic_auto (OnMapSpawn) doesn't resume.
Any ideas?

Oh, and I can't see entities (their icons) in front of a water/slime textured brush in Hammer's 3d view. Is this a common issue? As soon as I change the angle having other brushes behind the entity icon reappears. Have already updated graphic cards drivers btw...

Thanks in advance...

Make sure your logic_auto doesn't have the flag "remove on fire" which is on by default.

Wouldn't know a solution that works 100% certainly, but you can try lowering the back clipping plane/detail distance in the 3D options.

Oh dear just as simple as that?! After having made a quick test render I hurried to commit suicide and.....voil?, the music resumes...and I saw a bright light

Great, thank you very much!

(Should mention that I was stupid enough to uncheck the flag for elevator logic_auto, too. Which as I've found out wasn't a very good idea, though )

Nope, that unfortunately didn't work but having helped me with the above issue was great.

Make the music start 0.01 secs after the save triggers

I must honestly admit that I can't even get my head around it. How is it possible to save something that happens in the 'future', even if that's only 0.01 secs after the event?
However, I have to try that out. Thanks!

Oh... Yes youre right... I always start Music the same time as I save.

If you need, you can write an amount of time in "delay" field in the output if you need something like that in upcoming problems with "firing after the actual event".
