For a Portal 2 co-op map I'm working on, I need a see-through floor that everything can fall through except the players. But when viewed from below, it appears as a ceiling.

When I make a brush with a solid texture and then apply tools_playerclip to the top face, you can see through the bottom too. Everything else I try has a similar effect.

Make the brush with the player clip and create another brush with the "func_brush" entity. That will be your visible ceiling. Set it's keyvalue Solidity to Never Solid.

Thank you. That worked perfectly.

[s]I have a somewhat related question:[/s]
[s]How can I have a solid brush that you can shoot portals through?[/s]

Nevermind, I figured it out.

btw, the strike-through bbcode doesn't work.
