Title: Solid - Non Solid
Post by: Neo(F) on June 25, 2007, 01:01:47 pm

I'm messing around with my map.
I just couldn't figur out how to make a wall unsolid or one way solid.

Make all invisible sides "nodraw". But a shadered textur on the other sides with surfaceparm noclip.

It doesn't work for me. :(
If you wouldn't mind could u make a small .map file with the explained things in?

Thx, Neo

Patch meshes were used for the traps in Highrise.  Think of a patch mesh as just one face of a brush.  The back of the face is nothing, no texture, no collision, simply nothing.  The front of the face has a texture and is solid.  So start on the back face and walk through, turn around, and BAM! a solid textured face right in your face!  I assume (though I haven't tried it) that some shader parameters might change these basic rules, but it simplifies it so that all you need is a texture and a patch mesh.

The nonsolid surfaceparm will make a whole brush physically empty, but still draw the faces.

I can't say anything about DASPRiD's method, but it sounds like it might work (and I guess he has probably tested/used it too :D ).
