Skybox blocks Artillery and Airstrikes

(TNR360) #1

The sky and shader seem to be working properly yet I’m getting:

Aborting can’t see target.

No luck so far I have no idea what the problem is. :frowning:

Could you post your sky shader?

Mostly this is because you forgot “surfaceparm sky” or something similar. Also see How to make a Skybox Shader?

Steelrat used to have it too, judging from Something simple….

The only thing is that I can’t see the problem here… Have you tried this shader in a test-map already?

(TNR360) #5

well the original map is called exodus, I have the source to this map and I recompiled and it just doesnt work when I compile

(==Troy==) #6

hmm… tracemap?

(kamikazee) #7

That one is normally only required for artillery and mortars.

That one is normally only required for artillery and mortars.[/quote]yes there’s a tracemap

(mlyn3k*) #9

i ddint have problem with that in exodus

and i made a trace map

so it is ur fault :smiley:

I just changed it to different skybox an ET one :stuck_out_tongue: and it works fine now, that problem always happens to me with custom skyboxes :frowning:

(stephanbay) #11

aborting cant see target is a tracemap problem. make sure yours is uptodate. maybe you can try q3map_nosolid in your skyshader too.
Does mortar hit the sky?

hmm I’ll try that out thanks
