Rotfl or stupid error? (model question)


(Igloo) #1

Hello,

Ehh I was mapping a bit, preparing to make a flag. Then it happened… a kind of mutated pole appeared (of course I loaded this)! I mean:


models/multiplayer/flagpole/flagpole.md3

Looks like below in Radiant:

Really, I have no clue how?! I haven’t downloaded any pack causing it, that could as an external load another, remade model.

Can you help me ? :o

Greetings,

This is normal.
The flagpole model is normally used by team_wolf_checkpoint and isn’t seen as such in the editor. However, some mappers have noticed before that a flag may appear at the foot of the pole and had to hide this flag into an extra brush.

This always appears… it’s simply the flag ready to roll up when the pole is touched…

this is necessary since models cannot suddenly spawn some extra polys when needed…
If you look closely, in all maps the flag is either firmly on the ground, or some things have been made to hide it…
Have a look at supplydepot. The room underneath the flag would show this ‘extra’ flag if it weren’t for a crossbeam going under the roof ^^

OK if it’s normal :wink: I’ll remove this “flag” under pole in MilkShape and no problem :stuck_out_tongue: But hiding is good as well ^^

Thanks!
