Texture That Stops Skulks

K2Boarder

What texture or what do you have to do to make it so a skulk cant walk on a certain area. Like if its outdoors and you dont want them climbing on the skybox.

Dead_Man

I think you have to create a texture, then put it as a func invis then set it to ful...i think

Once_Only

I find that skulks cant climb a func_wall. Ill see if the alpha settings have anything to do with it..

Chods

it used to be clip texture but i think they changed it (?)

i thought skulks couldnt walk on sky textures anyway?

The sky is clipped automatically by the compiler, unless you use -noskyclip, and then your sky will be like water...

Nope, then you fall out of your map. Not the best method of making it seem professional <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Anyway, I think the current method to keep skulks from reaching the skybrush is a clipbrush around the edges shaped in a matter that skulks can't climb (easily?).

Kouji_San

Would work as long as they dont have leap... Another way of fixing it would be to use a trigger_push with a downward angle which is covering the entire skybrush. Would work perfectly on a flat skybrush at the cost of 1 runtime entity

I think I'll just use the push, it seems the easiest anyways. Thanks for the help. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

trigger_hurt, make them learn the hard way!

Wolv

If a skulk can stay attached to the wall and manages to get on the sky without jumping or leaping, trigger_push wont work though. So in-game a combination of a difficult clipbrush around the edges and a trigger_push should keep both leapers and wallclimbers off. In the readyroom leap wouldn't be a problem, so there just the clipbrush around the edges should work.

Clipbrushes... are those the ones that are NOT bullet proof, but will block player movement?

If so.. how do you make em?

Mantrid

Normal brush, add the "CLIP" texture.

Uh-Oh

Ok, if I simply grab the clip teture from the half-life wad, and then add it to my own wad, the compile tools will automatically know what to do?

Also, can we place entities in a manner that might get in the same space as world brushes or other entities? Like can you place a big func_push brush in a room, even if there are world brush in it (like tables or chairs, or even light_spot entities... it's an exemple)

Thank you very much for all the information.

Yes.

Yes you can.

Align

Wouldn't it be easier to just cover the sky in a func_wall that is 16 or so units below the sky(because otherwise the skulk can climb the wall "under" the func_wall)?

trigger_push pushes guns around as well so you can have dead guys guns flying around the room

Yea, you can, and you can even make your own if you want to.
