Instead of using a key entity u can use the specific model. Add the spawnarg "frobable" "1" on it. Now, with the key model still selected, go to the stim response editor. Go to the responses tab and add the response "frob". In there, add two effects. The first one is "frob", the target of this effect is the key entity which you should place in your blue room. The second effect is "remove", the target is "_SELF".

Just for the list. Someone should add a wiki entry for this, as this seems to be something an unexperienced mapper can get nuts on. IIRC there is already a wiki entry about the use of the target_setfrobable entity for the above mentioned purpose, so it may be a good idea to add this as an advice there.

This is an article from Fidcal, describing how to make your own chests and the usage of the target entity there. So it may fit here.

I added a section at the bottom of this page.

Anyone got a problem with me adding my frobtest map to the above wiki entry..? so people can see a visual representation of the issue etc.

 

I have attached the fixed map file, so any mappers in the future who stubble upon this thread can see how etc. Gman, just changing the4 frobbox to 0 did the trick - thanks guys for looking into and finding the fix for this. :-D

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
