Title: [SOLVED] Cylinder "magic"
Post by: GlobalWarming on October 30, 2008, 04:23:34 am

Hello!

When I build a cylinder (any density) and I build an acid tube or trap on it, the cylinder "swallow" it! This means, the acid or trap is there but can not be seen... Also can be destroyed (removed or by a human). I have noticed that not all sides of the cylinder behave in the same way. It doesn't happen with a polygon or simple brush...

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or it is my compiler?

I'm using GTK radiant 1.5.0 (Linux) and Q3Map2

Thank you.

It's just a patch bug.  Try player-clipping it.

Thank you... what do you mean by "player-clipping" ?

It is is preferred to use clipping brushes to clip off all patch meshes ('all' being the patch meshes you can (wall)walk on) in your map, since the default way Tremulous/Quake3 handles the clipping of patch meshes is pretty horrible. Use as simple shaped clipping brushes as possible, it will greatly improve the ease of navigating your map.
