The Art of Ramps

This tutorial will show how to create a pair
of ramps.  They're identical to jump pads in
the way they're built with only a few tweaks.

The ramp is really just an aesthetic touch on the jump
pad.  Ideally you'll want to use them to send a player over
a chasm or body of water.  You can also use them to give
weapons or health by suspending items along the launch
path.  For a better understanding of how 'jumping' works
check out the jump pad tutorial here.  Anyway figure out
the location of your new toy and draw a basic brush on 
the edge of your 'lava pit' or whatever.  

   

Use the  edge tool by hitting 'e' to  bring the end  of the
brush  down  so that  it's level with the floor.  Now  build
another brush above the last one and make it a slightly
wider.  Now  use  the free rotation button to  line up the
brush with the angled base.  Once the brush is in place

   

   

select the surface of the brush and apply one of the 
launch pad textures from the textures 'sfx' folder.
