Try hitting the TOGGLE flag on the func_door, that should make the door respond only to the switch, not to the automatic return (which you can alter by changing the wait value on the door). The "forcefield" effect would be done as follows:...  [Read More]

Neat trick: you can make a skybox show through fog as if nothing was in the way by inserting the nofog keyword into the sky shader file right after the surfaceparm statements! This has more applications than you would think--the authors of Wolfenste...  [Read More]

I think the only way to do that is to have separate fog brushes for the outside areas, instead of a worldspawn gloabal fog. There *might* be some sort of fog control embedded in the weather system, though......  [Read More]

You can attach a misc_model to any sort of func_ entity (func_train, _door, _plat, _rotating, _usable, _breakable, _glass, etc) by placing the model in relation to the func_ and then targeting the model at the entity (select misc_model, select func_...  [Read More]

It's not just compile time...it's game engine issues. If you have textures being drawn offscreen (because they are on a brush that extends into the next one), that will suck up resources. Also, you'll get sparklies--a nasty visual effect that makes m...  [Read More]
