ok after following your directions it works, but the player doesn't move... i added a player model and gave it the player action. any ideas? the model plays the walk aanimation but doesn't move.
ps i was gone all week.

any help? i would like to get this resolved.

Sounds like the player can't find the ground in his/her world.

Make sure your sky is a hollow cube. Also make sure you give your player something to walk on other than sky (place another block in the level for the ground).

the sky is a hollow cube, i placed another block for her to walk on, and it still doesn't work.

Okay, "Sanity Check" time. I'm going to go over some common problems here. Some of them will sound really basic, but don't get offended (I make all these mistakes from time-to-time myself ).

I assume you followed the steps I did above.
I also assume you have added a working A6 model to the level (i.e. sf_women.mdl).
Make sure you've attached the "PlBiped01" action to her.
- Select the model (should be red).
- Right-click and select "Properties"
- Make sure the "Action" field says "PlBiped01".

Make sure there are no other "PlBiped01" entities in the level.

Build the level and run.

ok this is annoying, it still doesn't work, i have done everything you've said, except im using the cbabe model, but that shouldn't matter.

The cbabe model works as well.

If you remove the sky block does everything work correctly?

My guess is that this is a simple procedure error but I can't tell what is missing. Make sure to start with a new project just so we can rule out other factors.

ok now what the heck, i remove the sky block and build and run it, it still shows the sky. and no it doesn't help.
