Nonsolid Patch?

(Wezelkrozum) #1

Did you ever create a patch which was nonsolid (in a worldspawn entity)? I didn’t.
The only way I know to create a nonsolid patch is to upgrade it to a script_mover and don’t thick the box “solid”.
Is there anyone who knows an easier way?

(IndyJones) #2

what’s the shape of the patch?

(Wezelkrozum) #3

A circle…

(Zer0Cool) #4

convert it to *.ase or *.md3?

(Wezelkrozum) #5

No, that’s not option. It won’t be dynamic anymore.

(stealth6) #6

in the map gamma_mill_b2 there are some patches like you describe, maybe you could check out how he did it.

they are in the kragle jump part.

(ailmanki) #7

I think this is done through shaders… as that answer sounds so simple to me… I guess its wrong…
Anyway, you can try to give it nonsolid shader… and see if its nonsolid… if so, create a shader with those directives and the texture you want it to have.

(IndyJones) #8

if the patch vertices are snapped to grid… you could possibly remake it with brushes.

(Wezelkrozum) #9

You are good in guessing :wink:

I tried it first but that didn’t work. But strangely enough they are nonsolid when it’s script_mover without the box “solid” thicked. Did the developers know that (worldspawn) patches with a nonsolid surfaceparm become solid?:rolleyes:

(IndyJones) #10

are they 100% solid, just like brushes, or some parts of the body can get inside that patch?

(Wezelkrozum) #11

It seems to be standard that the side you see textured in radiant is solid and that the other side (wired) is nonsolid.

(ailmanki) #12 
textures/curve/curve
{
	qer_editorimage textures/common/dirtymirror2.tga
	qer_trans 0.5
	qer_nocarve
	cull disable
	//surfaceparm nodraw
	surfaceparm nodrop
	surfaceparm nolightmap
	surfaceparm nomarks
	surfaceparm nonsolid
	surfaceparm trans
	surfaceparm alphashadow
	//surfaceparm glass
	surfaceparm pointlight
	{
		map textures/common/dirtymirror2.tga
		blendFunc GL_SRC_ALPHA GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA
		//rgbGen vertex
	}
}

I made a cylinder, gave it that shader, could walk in and out. I can hardly imagine that patches had always solid, as far as I know they had been nonsolid until some smart guy made it possible.

(ailmanki) #13

does it work?

and wezelkrozum your Mailbox is full …

[quote=ailmanki;201931]does it work?

[/quote]

No it doesn’t work. I recognized that when I give the patch a nonsolid texture it becomes nonsolid. But if I reopen the map (gtkradiant 1.4.8) and then compile the map the patches are all solid. Can somebody test that out for me? Maybe it’s the program.

Yes, There didn’t show up a message that is was full:(. You can pm me again:wink:

Copy this into Notepad, name it whatever.map and put it in your maps folder. Load it up in Radiant and compile it.

Its 4 patches with the siwa_water texture on it which is non solid because of the water texture (shader).

Just made this real quick to prove a patch can be non solid.
