entity reached from outside??

Post by General_DisArray »

okay, i compiled the map and it says

entity reached from outside -- no filling!!
**********************
***** LEAKED *******
**********************

when i go back into radiant and check the Pointfile, it shows a line that goes from my ladder to the floor of my skybox. i have gone through the process of deleting my skybox and recreating it, ensuring that it has no gaps.

the funny thing is, is that i did not change anything with the map. i just tried the shutters tut and then it started to leak and what ever else is happening.

Hide curves and detailed brushes in Radiant using filters. Now see whether any entity can reach the void.

okay, get this crud. i deleted the ladder brush, and the prefab ladder i made(b/c my ladder brush doesn't render a ladder in the game, but does allow me to walk up the wall). now i have no leaks or 'entity reaching from outside' if anyone knows what kind of thing could cause any of these problem, please let me know so i don't get into a huge project and have this happen again.

I suppose that ladder didn't go through the wall, floor or ceiling?

i tried the tut again. and read more thouroughly and figured it out. sorry for any inconvenience.
i was under the impression that you mad a brush and gave it the texture of ladder, and then during the game there would magically appear a ladder. a rookie mistake. i fabricated the ladder then followed the tutorial. and then wah-lah it worked.

the tut was not too clear on the fab. part of the ladder. or maybe i just assumed. you know what they say about assuming!!

thanks

Try Deleting the .lin file, and trying pointfile again.
