Map Problem... sigh

[-=BrotherBear=-]

Hi again o.o

im creating my first map... EVER (on deusex) and imma having a load of problems

first, how do i get a mover to be centered on the grid? id had a lot of problems with this and ive tried toggling vertex snapping and it wont work.. as a result i got movers and doors on an outside wall ... this mover in pic 1 cant be resized cause its a pic of the roof (its a crusher)

2 for some strange one of my entire rooms MOVED... how do i move it back? (the ladders ment to be on the wall)


HELP

1. Right click anywhere on your overhead grid, and select Grid > 8 Units. Then you can move the mover to where you want it. As for setting the pivot, right click on the exact spot that you want the pivot, and select Pivot > Place Pivot Snapped Here.
   
2. Click on the ladder in the overhead view, hold CTRL and use the left mouse button to move it around. If you need a smaller gird size, repeat as used with the mover.

whats a pivot?? and ill try that...

Click on the ladder in the overhead view, hold CTRL and use the left mouse button to move it around. If you need a smaller gird size, repeat as used with the mover.

its not the ladder thats moved.. its the entire room, i can tell cause that room had a door

Then instead of moving the ladder, just move the room instead; press F8 and click 'rebuild' when you're done.

Too late ot edit:

Also when i create a door, i make in my workshop, when i do to intersect it, i tried once without adding the light source, then with adding it. and STILL this happens (see pic)

how do i get the door to be LIT!

EDIT: the door STARTS in the wall... is that the problem?

It's a little bit annoying to wait till all these .bmps load, it takes my cache and slows down Firefox. You should learn about a magic format called .JPG.

it seems to be a BSP error

I can't say why is that only by your screenshots, maybe if you attach the map itself I'll try.

honestly I don't understand what you mean

[Jon]

He means that his mover isn't lit up like the rest of the room.

Brother, try intersecting the brush when its actually in the room that you want the mover.
