Unwanted Func_water Flooding Created 18 years ago2005-12-12 14:18:53 UTC by TawnosPrime

I have a tube of water. One end is completly open in a well and the other comes up in a room in the basement w/ a func_breakable grate covering the hole (both openings in floor/ground, not wall). For some reason, map map keeps flooding on load except for one small, unexplained area.

I've tried settinng the speed on the func_water to 0, making it togglable, setting it to start open and setting it to never close but nothing seems to work. Can someone help this poor n00b you?

i really dont understand what you mean... screenshot?

yeah ^^ . have you named the water?

flooding? Do you meen that from some reason the func_wall only ingame covers the whole map? :

Ok, I've got some additional info to explain my prob.

a) No, I haven't named the func_water entity.

b)The Render Mode is set to Texture and the Render Amount is set to 200 (I want the water somewhat transparent)

c)I've got a couple of screen shots that should help elaborate the issue. They are:

1. This pic is of the tunnel encloser that houses the water entity (keep in mind plz that this a rough demo map and therefore lacking in the smoothing edges but all corners are sealed to my knowledge)2. This is the outside opening in a well. The AAATriggrt is a ladder.3. This is the inside opening, blocked of by a func_breakable grate.4. This is a view of the map w/in Hammers Camera View as is should roughly look.5. This is the same area w/in CS, after the map was compiled.d) It should also be known that I've tried sealing off the two enterances w/ large blocks, but it had no effect.

The water brushes inside the well - have you grouped them all as just one func_water, or individually? Not sure if its related to the problem, but try making each water brush a func_water.

I did make the four water brushes a single entity, but I never tried to make them seperate entities. I'll give that a try and get back to y'all.

Update: That did work. I'm not sure how, but I guess the four brushes didn't really like being forced together. Thanx for the help.
