Grrrr!! Random Error messages!!! Created 20 years ago2004-02-20 17:36:32 UTC by Dark Phoenix

Ive compiled my map before and it worked fine, but it was a bit slow so i went about making various large sized objects into func_walls. I compiled... fine, but still slow, so i made just one or two more objects func_walls, compile... BANG! WTF is this!

So at first i calmly found entity 83 and deleted it. Compile... CRACK! WTF!! Now its saying entity 84, so i search for it... entity doesnt exsist!! but i see its texture is AAATRIGGER, so i go and delete all the AAATRIGGER objects. Compile... WTF is going on!!! It says now entity 87 is the problem, but the strange thing is it doesnt even exsist! and it an AAATRIGGER which there are no more of!!!

Whats going on? Its just really random! I can be patient with errors that have meaning, but one which i can understand just piss me off!

:x...Calm...

Okay, please can one of you WC gurus help me, im totally lost and on the verge of giving up...
thank you

Save. Quit hammer. Restart hammer. Try recompiling. Otherwise it could be when one of those brushes goes really wrong and has one of it's vertexes running off into the infinate void.
Post it in the problem map vault.

you've probably gone off and just created a mash of invalid brushes. Hl is very limited and unforgiving you know.

Mebbe post the map up or email someone (aka me) to try and fix it?

okay guys, thanks for your help, but i discovered it.

I just went through all my thinsg i just made func_walls and made them back to normal... didnt work. I was then searching around for something else i must of edited and i found it. It was this big radar satelite dish thing, i made it smaller so it would make the maps r_speeds faster, but i must of done some dodgy editing and made it go off at funny angles or something. So its fixed now.

But that was weird how it kept saying it was something else that was the matter.

Probably just that more than one thing was wrong but it couldn't see them all at the same time. Frustrating.
