i noticed that in mohradiant there are 2 different textures that make a surface invisible or somthing... NoDraw and Caulk. to me they do the same things. what are the differences

You can have no draw in view, so ta speak. Caulk you can't.

Basically put caulk in areas that can't be seen in normal conditions (ie, no 0 gravity cheats, noclip, etc) put nodraw on things that can be seen but you don't want drawn...

The difference is in the "surfaceparm", as you can see in the common.shader file (pak0.pk3/scripts folder). When you shoot at caulk, the bullets will hit it, but with nodraw, they go right through.

beat me to the punch

impressive... thx every1!

Also caulk is structural so it will affect Vis nodraw is not . caulk will make water solid when used on the sides of a water brush nodraw does not make it solid . Ai's I think can see though nodraw but not through caulk .

hey thats interesting... i never heard of that water thing before. thx alot.

When a brush has 5 side textured with caulk and 1 with any texture & the brushe was made detail, do the 5 caulk side still count as structural textures? ...

lead me to the question

Is that detailed brush better textured with no draw?
( presumeing the brush doesn't touch the VOID)

As long as there is no nodraw or transparent textures, the brush will be structural, unless you make it detail.

Typically (or at least me) I use caulk on non-transparent brushes on faces that can never be seen. I use nodraw on transparent brushes.
