I was browsing around for ways to activate/deactivate a trigger brush (actually 2) through the press of a button but I don't have these two entities. Are they gone for good in Urban Terror or can I do the same in some other way?

hm. i remeber reading stuff about that some time ago. but i dont think UrT has it.
You could just try. (which might work, though i doubt it, since the compiler would probably just ignore them)
a possible workaround is to make the button 'lower' the floor, or better a player clip on it (as a door) by the smallest amount possible, revealing the trigger brush.
A more simple way would be to just have a door in front of the trigger.

i did stuff like that for the spawn unlock idea. i thought about the possibilities for it to require two players to unlock a spawn. like one presses a button to open a door and the other one heads in an activates the actual switch.

I need to just turn them on and off at will... or at the press of a button. But when off, there shouldn't be anything in there so... what to do? I'd assign a func_door but I cannot have 2 entities, as in a trigger AND door in the same brush.

nah. the idea is to have a trigger brush covering the ground.
Then do a door brush in right the same position, set it to move down on trigger and trigger it on the button/whatever.

So it will "reveal" the trigger brush. before you would walk on the door, after its triggered you walk on the real floor (which is why the door should probably only be a flat clip brush)
and inside the trigger brush, so it would trigger something now.

The problem is that the brush is standing up so the players are supposed to walk through it. I cannot add physical barriers because when deactivated, players should be able to walk through. :)

its not about blocking access to the whole area, but about blocking players from getting inside the trigger brush. ill do a sketch and/or a small demo when i get home.

Ok thank you! :) I understood what you mean, but I want to see if you mean something else too. :D

[Mod Iye]

Soo....
just managed to compile it. (gtks default q3map2 somehow crashed...)


simple paint img showing the idea: (paint is awesome. :P)

What does the arrow from the trigger brush to the door represent? Thanks! It's not exactly my situation but I think I can tweak it. :D

the red hand drawn arrows simply represent triggering. so the trigger brush activates the door. nothing special about it.
Just note that all the doors should have trigger_only set. :)
