Func_seethrough Crashes Map

Lucid

<div class="IPBDescription">newbie here</div> ok so I'm making my little practice room and it works fine atleast for loading it up and running around (i'm surprised I've gotten that far). But now that I want to make the ceiling func_seethrough it crashes the map when i look up (as a non-commander ofcourse). I'm familiar with leaks because I took out a wall once just to see what would happen <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> . But It definately isn't a leak where i can see outside my map, the corners are tight . I'm using quark and this is what I did: I created a func_seethrough, it comes in with a poly attached to it, i delete the poly, then in the menu i drag my ceiling brush onto the func_seethrough and it looks like this:

Yes you made yoru cielign a func_seethrough, but the thing is you can't have entities touching the void. That's what a leak is. BTW you don't have to turn your ceiling in a func_seethrough, the ceilings are never drawn for the commander, only pipes or stuff like that, that are INSIDE the map should be turned in a func_seethrough.

i see, so what decides what a "ceiling" really is to the commander?

ever gone in spectator mode? know how you can see the 'inside' of the map from 'outside'. this is what comm mode does.

The invisble 'ceiling' is basically the underside of the first brush below the commder. Any gap between that and a lower brush will make the lower brush visible to the commander.

I recommend making a small test map to experiement with if you are unsure.

Thanks Guys
