Why Am I 'starting' Outside The Map?

Okay, every time I run this map, I start out as a disembodied floating nothing somewhere outside my map. I can't move, but I can look around.



Yes, I have an info_player_start smack dab right in the center of open space in the middle of my room.

    You have no info_player_start and the origin of the map in in the void, or "outside the map" in not within playable space.

    Fix: Add an info_player_start

    Oh but I do have an info_player_start. See? (No, I'm not an idiot, that IS an info PLAYER start, not team)

    As you wish. As you can see it's floating slightly above my floor brush. No map leaks, it complies without a hitch.

    Try enclosing the origin in a box, then compiling it.

    Hope that helps. I'm going to bed.

    Well, I put down a brand new one, in a seperate attached room, and it seems to work. Apparently it doesn't like the space near the command chair... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo--> Thanks anyways <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    OH and if you're still readin this, why doesn't my selection tool actually select anything? All it does is draw big teal boxes around things (in the 2D views)

    You need to press enter after drawing the selection rectangle. This is to allow you to expand the selection box in the other 2d views to create a selection volume. You can disable this behavior and make it automatically select when you release the mouse button by going into Tools -> Options -> 2d Views and ticking the "Automatic infinate selection in 2 windows (no ENTER)" option. Also, unticking the "Default to 15 degrees rotation" option will allow you to rotate brushes "freehand" but makes it much easier to create off-grid vertices.
