Strange Reflections and Sounds
Heya there,
Whilst trying to fix bugs in my map, I have come across a strange problem with the reflections and sounds.
In the second room of the map, there is no excursion funnel but there is in the first room. However, when someone places a portal on the other side of the room, and walks near the exit of that room, they get the ambient sound of the excursion funnel.
Also, I have only just noticed that the excursion funnel is reflected in the toxic water, as in the screenshot below.
Does anyone have any idea on how to fix these? I am not using any custom sounds with the excursion funnel, just the entity that it is in Hammer.

I have no idea how to fix the thing with the sound, but try adding a cube map to the centre of the surface of water shown; it's a good practice to do this with every water surface you create anyway.
How would I build the cubemaps? I know how to do them whilst the game is running, but how do I do it in the Hammer?

You don't; what I meant was simply add an env_cubemap to the middle of the water's surface.
I have done that but the reflection still remains.

Where abouts would I place said brushes?
I have placed one at the exit to the next room, and also along side the excursion funnel.

Seconded; knowing you, you've probably read this already, but if you haven't, don't just look up hint brushes, read EVERY page.
