Hello everyone. HL2 =/= me.
Hey there. I had made a quick change to my site – one that I hope to be a rather serious and permanent one, due to the fact that this website is going to bit more surrounded on my music. For all of you guys that know me via Half-Life 2 Deathmatch, I have started a new page for scripting help. The old confusing, retarded, SaD-dense old page is still accessible. Just note that I will probably no longer work on them, unless of course you would like to send in your own tutorials I will kindly revise and edit to post on the help page.
So, why am I doing this? I want to be a bit more organized and I want one page where people can jump in and listen to some music. If you didn’t get the point, I really enjoy composing my own tracks. Being a musician that can actually work on his own pieces for the rest of his life is a career is something I would like to pursue.
Also, I’m kind of steering farther and farther away from scripting. I may jump on every once and a while, but I’d rather actually learn a programming language or perhaps something a long the lines of computers that will occupy me. (Or LittleBigPlanet.) So, maybe this is a sign that I have quit, maybe not. It’s also easy to convince me to join. Just make the old sad emoticon and I’ll feel bad. Sooner or later I’ll be the same old invisible guy on the player list.
Don’t feel bad. :D

And just so you know, I’m going to stop giving examples in the more advanced tutorials, because you should know how everything works. If I tell you to do something, you should already know to put ent_fire behind it.
