basically you have too many lights in one area..

did you give the lights names? (i hope not)

mrlightbulb#1 he has many bright ideas....

Well, Jenkins helped me solve the problem.
thanks.

yay for jenkins

if you see the displacement edges have that lit up shit does anyone know how to make them NOT do that

i destroyed the outside edges to it yes

Have you sewn along the edges?

...it looks fracken cool, like its actual ice

Yeah actually i agree lol it looks like the ice/snow is thin on the edges and light it getting thru from outside..

2 questions:

1. How do I properly distribute smoke fumes across a map? I'm trying to get a little bit all around the 3d skybox but it always came out as too much or as little clusters along the map.

2. Is there a way for me to see all copies of a certain entity in a map? Like let's say I want to try to find and mark the location all the light entities, how do I go about doing that?

Thank you.

Jenkins left the forums.

You'll have a better shot asking on Steam.

Since he hasn't logged on for like a month, since Crash left, I say it's pretty much fact.

1. There are several ways of doing this... remember that anything you put in the 3d skybox with be scaled by a factor of 16x, so using a smokevolume brush entity might not be the best way to do it.
I suggest a particle system of some sort... have a look on VDC on how to use the PET, it's not that hard and you have more control over the particles themselves rather than the un-editable look of the smokevolume brush entity

2. Sure is Go to Map Menu > Entity Report (NOT Entity Gallery). There you have a searchable list of all entities in your map, you can show and hide hidden objects, search by classname or actual name...

I simply cannot express how helpful that is. Thank you so much.

Ok, I'm trying to get a hanging lamp to work properly, but every time I load the map it always drops straight to the ground like it was 50 lbs. Any help?

Lamp thing fixed, nvm.

On another note, can someone please give me a crash course on clipping brushes? I can't ever seem to get it right.

Go down to "Clipping":

Btw, how do I make it so that when I shoot the lamp enough times it breaks off with (or without) the rope?

On a related note, how do I make shootable signs? Like the ones the snipers shoot at in the very beginning of Follow Freeman?

I believe it involves using the "bullseye" thing to make the sniper shoot it.

That's all I know.

I'm gonna ask Jenkins lol

I'm 99.9% sure it either involves that or an info_target.
