How do i save building in radiant for use in map.?

Post by steveuk » February 9th, 2008, 6:06 pm

Hi,
Ive been messing arounf on radiant and made this Building, (i know it CRAPP) but im learning how to cut windwos/Doors.
Due to the building is very big, how do i make it small enought to fit into my map as a standard building. And do i save as a Xmodle or a Prefab. What ever way i dont know how to save it, can someone point me the right direction.

Cheers.

Just save it..  It will be saved as a .map file, because it's a map.

When you come to use the building in your map (actual map (with terrain etc))..

.. Rightclick on the grid Misc > Prefab > Locate the .map of the building.

================================================

If you want to edit the Building (prefab), whilst in the terrain map:

Select the prefab, Rightclick Prefab > Enter Prefab

Make changes, click save

Rightclick Prefab > Lave Prefab

================================================

You're learning fast  :)

Just Enter the prefab and change the size.. (rebuild walls etc)

And just to clarify, you cannot change the scale of a Prefab, like you would with a model.
