Tree model not loading... Created 16 years ago2007-08-23 00:00:04 UTC by ip

I have roughly 18 models in my map, and all are appearing in-game except for 1 tree. Yes the path name is correct (and inlcudes the .mdl, it even appears in Hammer). I thought maybe I'm overriding a model limit of some sort by including so many but, I'm not quite sure. Here's my compile log if I'm missing something...

Any help? :

EDIT: Oh and also, I have another exact tree which shows up fine...

Tried replacing the cycler_sprite that doesn't show up with the one that does?

And wow, 10 bounces.

The model limit is FAR from 18 models, unless it's a big map with a bunch of func_walls, ect.

However, if it was a model limit, you wouldn't even be able to play the map.

Try running full VIS. Maybe because VIS is acting weird, it's not rendering a tree you're supposed to be able to see. Happened to me once.

Hey bud, here's my take ... check to see if the model isn't actually intersecting with the world geometry as I too had this problem quite a few years ago. When you place the entity in Hammer what I mean is to make sure it isn't into the ground. I have had this problem too with HL2 as well. I'm not 100% sure but it only makes sense seeing that you compile looks good and you have the same model in other places of the map Hope I could help.

Ahh thank you, the model was intersecting with the ground by like 1 pixel, now it shows up fine, but a new problem is when I run around in my map, random areas make the model (as well as another cycler_sprite set to the same model), to 'blink' or disappearing, whether or not I'm moving....

Also sorry for the late response
