Light problem (solved)

#1 · May 15, 2011, 8:17 pm

I want to prevent the player from going through portals on the hard light bridge, and I used tools/toolsclip texture, because it doesn't block the bridge. As far as I know, the clip texture isn't supposed to block light, but wall behind it is very dark, and the player can't see that he/she can shoot a portal there.

I'm not sure, what I've done wrong. Which other texture can be used?

Try making the clip brush into a func_brush. Also try making it thinner, so it isn't flush against the wall back there.

Also make sure that static prop isnt casting shadows using its bounding box or anything like that.
