Visible triggers

[MayorMcCheese]

Just a quick question, how can I make visible triggers.

Example - YouTube - TF2 Invulnerability Trigger

Thanks

I think its just a trigger brush in the same place that isnt tied to an entity, so you have two brushes with the trigger texture, only one is an entity

[MayorMcCheese]

Ok but how do I make it so you can pass through the brush? I'm sure it's simple but I'm very new to hammer.

make it a func_brush, and turn solid to off.

or use a func_illusionary and set it to use the trigger texture.

Isn't func_illusionary obsolete now? It's been replaced by func_brush. (though valve uses func_illusionary still, not sure why)

func_illusionary is fine to use. Yes, func_brush can do everything that func_illusionary can do and more. func_illusionary is simpler sometimes and using it will not cause any problems.

If you want triggers to be visible just temporarily, for testing and debugging purposes, you can enter the command
showtriggers_toggle into the console during gameplay if sv_cheats is on.

You can make triggers visible in-game via the console command "showtriggers_toggle". That is what Voogru is using in that video to make them all visible.
