How To Create A Switch and Sparks in Source 2 Hammer

This tutorial covers prop_animinteractable, info_particle_system, and point_soundevent.
prop_animinteractable is used to create interactable objects such as doorhandles, switches, levers, and crank wheels.
info_particle_system is used to create particle effects, in this tutorial I use it to create a sparks effect
Made using the Half Life Alyx Workshop Tools version of Hammer for Source 2

Awesome as always Hos ;)

[@Bordie3D]

You made it look so heavy at the end

[@tanklover2393]

Thank you Hosomi, Very cool !

[@Gvarados]

help! my switch doesn't have any sounds when I move it, only the spark sounds!

[@Hosomi]

There are keyvalues for playing audio with certain interactions. I'll be covering this in next weeks video

Hi ! I really like your tutorial but i have a question :
How can you make animations for IA or ragdoll ?

[@tinygamer2200]

Would you be able to make a tutorial on how to add your own custom sounds in half life Alyx?

[@sleepnaught]

This please!!

[@nooneknown]

can you make a video on respawning entities? like respawning an npc after it dies or after n minutes/seconds

[@Hosomi]

I plan to cover this soon :)

[@abstract_duck]

is there a way to make custom openable doors that you can grab? (had idea for sliding door tho not sure if it's even possible)

[@tobycat7]

For some reason, my computer can run the game perfectly but when i add the particle systems in the editor, i get wretched framerates in hammer, and i don't know how to fix it.

[@mihoskrijgsman3106]

I noticed you run windows 7, have you had any issues with running hammer on there? just out of curiousity

[@awcarew]

Does ambient_generic work in HLA? I have tried to use it instead of point_soundevent because it has more options but I have not been able to get it working.

[@Hosomi]

ambient_generic is no longer used. You need to use point_soundevent

[@awcarew]

@@Hosomi Is there any way to control volume or distance with point_soundevent?

[@corrupt558]

Can I make the switch break off when pulled?

[@Hosomi]

Lots of these things are made using prefabs. Have a look around in the prefabs folder for combine stuff
