Remove section of a wall

[nyvedj]

Hey codjumpers and mappers!

I was wondering if there was a way to remove a segment of a wall/object. I image if there is a way there would be some kind of texture that is transparent and without player collision..

Any help would be great!


On a side note, does anybody know anything about an issue while playing where you cannot move for a few seconds properly after loading position? Normally you can just load instantly and jump again, but recently my map has the issue where I have to wait a few seconds after most loads before jumping or else I just kind of slide around and hardly jump anywhere.

Might be an sudden and random issue with the mod but idk.

You need to use the clipper tool to remove sections of a brush.
Plenty of online tutorials: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-ovhLgwmMo

Transparent textures are mostly clip textures, but there are many more.
To make a brush without collision, select the brush, right-click and select "non-colliding".

The issue with not being able to jump straight away happens when taking fall damage.
There are a few relevant dvars:
bg_falldamageMinHeight 9999
bg_falldamageMaxHeight 99999
jump_slowdownenable 0

Hey look, I have heaps of little questions regarding mapping.. do you mind if I keep asking these questions within this thread?

For example:

When I load up the map I am working on, the player/gun skin texture is multi-coloured (like on mp_easy_jump if anyone is unfamiliar with what I'm trying to describe). How do I go about making it go normal??
Note - I do not have a sky box or a sun at this stage.

Do you mind if I suggest you go and read mapping tutorials?

[nyvedj]

Sure, if they cover all the things that I need

I've watched over an hour of different tutorials on youtube, and re-watched whenever I got stuck on something.. So just point me to where I can find the answers and I'll go there

If people know the answers on here I just thought it would be simpler, that's all.
