Moving the Gravity gun

Post by EvilShindo »

Hello everyone!

I recently downloaded the amazing Killtrocity 2 map pack, and played the Gravity Gun level.

Now what i would like to know is how can i place the Gravity Gun in other maps. In other words, how can i take it out the headlong map(which was the map it is in) and put it in another map(ie:Zanzibar)

I'm currently starting out in the Dothalo app and also would like to know if it could be done in that. If not, what will i need?

Thank you. All appreciated. :)

No, you can't transfer this from map to map with DotHalo.
You'll need to use eather Insolence or Entity to transfer the tag.
*I'd reconmend Entity but use Insolence if you dunno how to use entity*


Just pop your map and the grav gun map open with insolece
and simply select the grav gun then drag it into your map.

Why is it that nobody helps out those of us who are newbies with newb-understandable tutorials?

1. Open Insolence.
2. In Insolence, open up Gravity Gun and the map you want to transfer to
3. Under the [weap] tag, find the Gravity Gun (It may be named Sentinel Beam). If it is names Sentinel Beam, it should be named Sentinel Beam 2 on the new map.
4. Drag and drop it onto the new map (it may take some time).
5. Close both maps, then close Insolence.
6. Open DotHalo, then open your map.
7. Find the Gravity Gun (or Sentinel Beam 2). Copy the Meta Offset, then paste it onto, say, the Plasma Pistol, or any other weapon that you wish to replace the Gravity Gun with.

Every Plasma Pistol (or whatever weapon you chose) on the map will be replaced by the Gravity Gun.

Enjoy!

Also, when transferring the gravgun to my map in insolence, is there a specific tag that you have to transfer to? or it does it just automatically put it where it's supposed to be?

It will automatically put it where it needs to be. I would say transfer the tags that have a 1 at the end of them. Looks as though the creater duplicated the sentinal beam and edited the duplicated one.

Try one of the last 3 of the ones you selected.

Just try spawning each, and you'll find out which it is.
By the way, to spawn find MrBalll's tutorial on "Adding things to a map"
