Func_seethrough

iddqd

<div class="IPBDescription">eh?</div> when I compile, my pointfile doesn't even start at the entity it says, but it starts inside the celing (which is func_seethrough and goes around the edge between the wall and the ceiling.

the walls, however, extend into the ceiling. what am I doing wrong?

Try adding -particles 60000 to the command line when u start HL. You may not have enough particles.

If the ceiling is a func_seethrough, it is the entity that is touching the void. You cannot have any entities at the edge of your maps. A regular brush that hits the top void will be invisible to the commander. Func_seethrough's are used for helping commander see past things "inside" the map.

Exactly, just like func_wall and func_illustionaries don't make your walls, so a map full of just entities, on all sides, will not work. If it were so some idiot would make a map just out of clip textures, and it would probably just be a battle in the sky, so that's the answer.

so, I make the ceiling. how do I make it seethrough without making it an entity that touches the void?

It's seethrough automatically. Try it and see. Only things between the ceiling and floor that you would like the commander to see through need to be made func_seethrough (like pipes and such).
