I could have swore that was for brushwork and -staticpolylighting or whatever was for models. Oh well.

What a shame. I guess you could use the blocklight texture then.

[img]http://screensnapr.com/e/lZ7I3g.png[/img][/QUOTE]Does those area portals leak?
From what I'm doing it seems like as I toy around with things it causes the leak to move to something new. I don't see how these areaportals would leak though. They fit the door ways and the rest of the building is sealed off. (I checked a million times.) The only thing I could think of is perhaps the way the roof and walls intersect to fit might be causing it but then again it's not leaving an opening.

Get rid of the func_viscluster inside of that room
Also fix this being a displacement.
[t]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3779442/Screenshots/Wall_displacement.png[/t]
And the metal around the doors need to be func_detail
I completely fixed it and it took a LOT of fixing up. Thanks Firegod for getting me on the right track.
Can somebody help me out here ? How exactly do i make a bright white light effect that comes in through the windows ?Ive been told to use a specific white texture (can somebody tell me what its called ) , use HDR and the light_enviroment ? Or even better would be nice if somebody can point me to a tutorial

Believe the texture is white_light04..
I've added a few light_spot and light entities to my map, now vrad won't compile the light but the map itself will still run fine. It stops at "Building Face Lights" for a few minutes, then finishes. Before adding that [the lights], light_environment worked fine. I did change some values on the light/light_spot entities like the color/brightness, and inner/outer fading angle. Wonder what went wrong?
tl;dr my map renders in fullbright despite having multiple light entities such as light_spot and light_env. no leaks or shit. fuck vrad.
[b]Edit[/b]:
vrad doesn't like too many lightmaps set to 1.
Hey guys, I have two problems with my map.
So far I'm quite happy with how it's going, except I've noticed that none of my props cast shadows, and I don't really know what is causing the problem, especially when the rest of the map works fine.
My second issue relates to the first problem, I ported this door model from left 4 dead, and I have it placed in the map as a prop_dynamic. My problem is that it looks fullbright and isn't casting any shadows.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/door5.jpg[/img]
Is it possible to convert some models to be used as prop_static instead of just prop_dynamic and prop_physics? The door is only going to be used for aesthetics and it would look much better with baked shadows and the surrounding colour radiosity.

ok so I fixed the prop shadow problem with a shadow_control entity, but my question still stands on the prop conversion.

Decompile then change the qc and recompile.
Two questions involving a traitor trap for a TTT map I've almost finished.
For one of my traps, the traitor presses a button that locks people in a room, the floor opens, and people fall and die at the bottom of the pit. The fall damage has to be what kills them. Now how could I get the game to register that they were killed by the traitor who pressed the button to drop them in? I can't figure out a way to use the "ttt_damageowner" entity to refer back to the traitor that pressed the button causing them to fall and die.
Also during bugfixing, I discovered that the floor that drops people in (which is actually an iris door consisting of 8 func_door_rotatings) can be jammed with props to stay stuck and thus saving people from the traitor trap. Is there a way to completely prevent the floor/rotating doors from getting jammed with props when it is opening?

force closed key value should work if set to true.
[QUOTE=Firegod522;35305381]Did you place any env_cubemaps[/QUOTE]
Yes I did

I'm dumb with this but I'm pretty sure you compiled with HDR on. You're going to have to build cubemaps twice.

Force closed is already set.
How do I make a brush (specifically a button) that can only be damaged by the player?
How come sometimes vrad doubles during compile? Is this normal?
[QUOTE=Azzator;35312304]How come sometimes vrad doubles during compile? Is this normal?[/QUOTE]
If your map is poorly optimized, yes, it's very normal.
[QUOTE=WitheredGryphon;35312316]If your map is poorly optimized, yes, it's very normal.[/QUOTE]
What.
Vrad compiles twice when you do an HDR compile or '-both', it has nothing to do with optimization..
How would I make a sound follow a radio? I have a radio prop that has a button around it, playing a sound when pressed. But I want the player to be able to carry the radio around and the sound stays with it. I can't parent ambient_generics.

Even though you probably aren't mapping for Portal, there's radios you can carry around in that game. Maybe looking at those maps will show you how to do it (because I don't know how to either). If you can't use the same entities that are used for that, then, I have no idea how else to figure out how to do it, but it's still probably possible.
Oh wait, I just set the SourceEntity to the name of the radio prop. Thanks.
A lot of times when I'm working with angled brushes, I'm faced with the decision to either clip to make one brush flush with another, setting a vertex off grid, or just letting the brush clip through the other. Which may be worse? having a vertex off grid or having part of a brush clip through another?

Both are fine, as VBSP can handle them unless you do some really crazy shit.
