Error: No Visibile Brushes

Uh-Oh

<div class="IPBDescription">Won't compile. At all.</div> Okay, so I've been getting a dumb error in hammer (when using the "check for problems" function).
It lists 1 problem:
Solid entity (func_wall)is empty.

If I click "go to error", it doesn't highlight the problematic brush. If I click "fix", it doesn't do anything.
I thought it wouldn't matter.

But now I can't even compile my map! Here is my error log.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Yes, this is a stupid bug that can crop up occasionally. All you need to do is click "Check Map For Problems" and then click "Go to Error". Nothing appears to be highlighted. Just press the delete key and it will be deleted (It is selected but you cannot see it). Check to see if you fixed it by pressing the check for problems button again.

a brush entity HAS to have a visible texture on at least 1 side
entity 224 doesnt
you dont need to delete

I think you are thinking of when you select a brush entity and click tie to entity. The window pops up asking if you want to create a new entity. If you do that it changes but the old entity is still there but invisible so you have to find it in the Entity Report and delete it from there.

Uh-Oh

Okay, so how do I fix this?

I am not using the origin texture at all (that's for rotating doors, right?)
As far as clip textured brushes, lets see:

<img src='http://robertapril.no-ip.org/images/ns/clip.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

Those aren't even entities....

<b><u>EDIT</u></b>: Okay, so I tried doing what Kasselin said, I pressed the delete key, now hammer doesn't give me any errors.
But, it still won't compile.

Here is the thing that differs:

Last time it said entity 224! not 223... means anything?

<u><b>EDIT II</u></b>: Damn I'm dumb,<span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'> PROBLEM IS FIXED!</span>

bloodarowman

how do you fix that problem i have the same idk how to fix? so howd u fix

Don't know which of the problems you mean, there are two described here.

<b>"Solid entity x is empty"</b>
Press alt+p to check for any errors. If it says "Solid entity x is empty", that means that somehow there is a brush entity that has gotten its brush part removed. Click on it in the list, and press "Go to". This will focus your views on the origin of that particular bugged entity and also select it. So then, simply just delete it.

<b>"Error: Entity x has no visible brushes"</b>
Go to the Map menu in the top of Hammer, and choose "Go to brush number", then enter the number in "Entity", to find the faulty entity. Fix it or recreate it.
