covering outside walls of a map Created 20 years ago2004-07-24 23:50:41 UTC by hefsys

I know that I must have a world brush behind brushes with the clip texture if those brushes are the only thing between black & the map.

But what if I have a func_wall texture as the outside walls of my map, do I need to cover them with a world brush?

Are there any other instances where I have to cover certain brushes with a world brush (eg. with other entity-based brushes) when the only thing standing between black & the map are those "certain" brushes?

func_wall texture

A what??

um.. func_wall isnt a texture. its an entitie.. If all fails.. just drag a big box over your map. and if you dont want it to be seen.. then i would suggest, make it a func_wall and set the render mode to texture, and then set the render amount to 0.

Do NOT do this under any circumstances. I wouldn't make the outside walls func_wall. You need the walls to block VIS. Func_wall small objects like chairs, small buildings, other little bits of detail, etc.

your map needs to be enclosed in world brushes. anywhere you use a func_wall to seal your map you will have a leak.

Yeah I thought so, thanks.

BTW I meant just a func_wall not a func_wall texture lol!!

A good idea is to cover all non-visible and void-facing faces with NULL.

when compiling with ZHLT it does this anyway, so don't waste your time
