Phamton brushes

(Red*Uk) #1

I heard of these Phamton brushes b4 but aint sure what they are :stuck_out_tongue:
what my problem is: I built a car/tram like thing for a script mover all was fine, after i copyed this a few times, i noticed that 1 of the brushes had no clip to it thus throwing u off the tram every now and then, solid is checked on the scriptmover too.
The unseen sides of the brush are textured nodraw but so are the other 4-5 brushes that make up the tram and thier solid, i also tried to rebuild the brush endless times and still the same effect any ideas??? :???:

37 views and not even a guess. :frowning:

ok then guessing ;o) - did you maybe unselect a brush by accident? or is the clipping too narrow/doesnā€™t move with the rest at same speed?

no to all them :wink: except that on one of the cars the offending brush disapears when it goes down a incline/hill ? the brush as all the right keys etc and i got my script locked down :slight_smile:

Stupid suggestion: Brush cleanup?

Might be a derelict brushā€¦ shrugs

Try recompiling your map with a different map name. Might workā€¦

Just got something similar and I think I know how it happenedā€¦

When I move vertices or edges, if I get a ā€œWARNING: brush plane with no normalā€ the brush will disappear. At that point, Iā€™ll Undo and delete the brush. What happens, I think, is if that happens but you donā€™t undo and delete the brush, that thing might still be there somehow.

To continue my little story :smiley: After getting the error, a sudden laziness caught me and I didnā€™t undo and delete the thing. Since it was already gone I decided to draw a new brush to replace that b0rked one. The result brush (the one I just drew) was suddenly at coords OVER 65536 on the Z axis and it was displaying as something similar to a simple patch meshā€¦ but textured on both sides of the brush :???: Deleting and redrawing the resulting brush would always give me the exact same thing. Even brush clean-up didnā€™t help. I had to reload the map (about 5 mins lost).

So, when you peeps get that kind of warning, undo/delete is you best bet. :smiley:

HTH someone :slight_smile:

EDIT: Jahaa! 500th post! :smiley:
