Dissapearing Doors Created 18 years ago2006-08-26 10:07:08 UTC by Caboose

In my map, I've got a bunch of doors with glass in them that slide upwards into the wall. Everything compiles fine, and Hammer can't find any errors in the map, but when I play it, at certain points the doors dissapear for a few seconds so that it just looks like a floating slate of glass, only to reappear again when I look at a different angle.

Some pics:

The door, normal (sorry about the lighting).And when I look a little to the right:When I turn back, the door reappears again.

Any idea what could be causing this?

You play in software graphics mode. The reason thing disapear is that software mode can only draw 800 wpolies.(world polies) Check the r_speeds and I think you'll find that you have more then 800.
If thats not the problem then it still has to do with the fact that software causes some problems, even in the original games.

Change to Direct 3D and if possible, OpenGL.

Ahh, worked perfectly. Thanks alot.

Nice Door!

...Although it needs a frame of some sort

I'll most likely be adding one soon.
