Hey all!
I would like to know if it is possible to make a building saved as an .act file for the user accessibly?
Thanks in advance for your replys and for your help!

staticentityproxy (set to no collision) combined with clip brushes or staticmesh entity
as for the building above I would make it in the editor if I were you...

thx for the really fast answer. But now i have a newbie question. And here we go:
how do you mean "combined with clip brushes or static mesh"?
Thx in advance

sorry, the answer was a bit unclear...
to do proper collision when setting the staticentityproxy to not-colliding you will have to use clip brushes (invisible brushes you will collide with)
if you don't want to use a staticentityproxy you can use a staticmesh entity which has built in per poly collision (so you won't need clip brushes for collision in this case)

I'd make it in WorldCraft. There are demos
of Static Mesh building like Quest is talking about on my page,
http://terrymorgan.net/download.htm,
I think it's called 'domes.zip', hit CTRL-F
and search for 'static mesh' . See my post
in Level Editing about Theif 3 Static Meshes,
you can get an idea of how the pros use them.

if you use worldcraft, be sure to read the license where it might say something along the lines of "you cannot use this for any games that valve did not build" - if you find that line, try to find an earlier version (3.3 i believe, might be the version Hike has) so your editing is legal.
