I use this technique to create walls:
http://twhl.info/tutorial.php?id=146
So i make them func_detail, to save time during compilation.
I understand that i need to use some kind of an invisible wall behind that rocky so there won't be a leak, what texture should i use on that?

yes, and make all the faces you won't see null as well for optimization. Or you can use "Bevel" it's a texture just like null, but it is not solid like null, which will save compile time and map size, and does not cause leaks either.

It causes you to fall trough the terrain on non even terrain (remember). Don't use it.

Thanks. I'll use "Bevel", while i covered some non even places with "Clip", so it would be even as a solid.

Just use SKY texture, it functions exactly like BEVEL in this case, even with compile time, but wont cause bugs.

I think sky is not good to use, while the wall (func_detail) wont stop the light from the sky going in.

Sky wont penetrate the frontal texture.

Why don't you just use "tools/toolsinvisible"? Or "nodraw"?

EDIT:
Shit, it's for Goldsource, sorry!
