Brushes 201: Conclusion

Example of a Completed MAP from the BR201 Class

And yet again, it is time for your final project.  In addition to skills from all 100-level classes, you should be able to:

• Create Liquids

• Create Accent Fog

• Create Volumetric Fog

• Throw the player with func_push

• Hurt the player with trigger_hurt

• Create a falling death with trigger_hurt in both SP and MP

• Create a simple door

• Use a trigger_multiple to trigger events, such as opening doors

• Use a func_usable to alter the appearance of a wall switch

• Create a platform that goes up a specified distance with func_plat

• Create a platform that follows a path with func_train

• Create glass, both that can be shattered and that cannot

• Create a destructible brush with func_breakable

For your class project, create a map that::

• In terms of architecture, consists of the following:
  - A series of four rooms connected by doors, some opened by switches, some by simple presence
  - One room with platforms moving in a series, all hovering above a pit of lava that causes instant death
  - One room with a series of jump pads to throw the player around one of the rooms
  - One dark room filled completely with fog
  - One room with a maze of glass, some breakable, some not

• In terms of lighting, consists of the following:
  - One room that is sky-lit
  - One room lit entirely by radial lights
  - One room lit entirely by spotlights
  - One room lit by your choice

• In terms of gameplay, consists of the following:
  - Varied NPCs placed throughout the map
  - One "boss" room with NPC_Desann
  - Ample weapons, ammo, and items spread throughout

After completing your project, congratulations on a job well done!  You now have all the tools necessary to make rather complex maps with brushes!
