I want a laser door in my map, so find a laserdoor texture in the 'byss texturepack'. But when i assign this texture to a wall or something, it just looks like a blue wall, you cant look through it etc. ???

Try the forcefield texture from the doomgiver.

I'm sorry, it don't work. When i make a trigger_hurt of it, I can't look through it. Otherwise I can't, too.

Which texture are you using? I can't get any textures to show up on a trigger, you're supposed to make them a seperate brush.

Ok, It works. Are there other textures with this sort of forcefield? All the others I tried didn't do anything.

Well, there's 'other_field' from 'factory', and 'redfield1' from 'kejim'. If I find any more, I'll edit this post.

Just take a look through all the texture sets, Imperial-themed ones are good for forcefields, and find shaders (they show up with a white border in the texture palette) with names like "forcefield" or "field," etc. Place a brush where you want the field to appear, cover its visible faces with the forcefield shader, and its unseen faces with textures/system/nodraw_solid (or nodraw, if you want to be able to walk through the field). If you want players who run into the field to be hurt, create a trigger_hurt out of textures/system/trigger and make it extend a little bit around the forcefield brush.

Almost, but not quite. Nodraw is best to use on brushes that will be transparent.
