Making Rails

ModChaosControl

How do you make rails exactly? I've put the rail texture as func_illusionary, and it works ok, but how do you make it so your cant walk through it?

BulletHead

erm, try using it as a SOLID instead

It'll make the blue parts go away, and it'll be solid

UNLESS you want to be able to shoot thru it, in which case you DO use a func illusionary, but need to add in a CLIP brush as well with the SAME SHAPE as the railing (or, if you don't want to be able to duck under it, just in the same height / length as the railing)

It is a solid...

Func_illusionary, render mode: solid, fx amount: 255. Then make a brush textured with the clip texture the same height, width, length as the railing and place it in the same spot as the railing.

The ONLY thing the render mode affects is how the entity is rendered (no, really!). An entity will not become solid because it has the Solid rendermode.

No, func_illusionary with a clip brush - that way people can also shoot through it.

and yes, func_illusionary + clip brush for shoot throughability

What is the clip texture? AATriger?


EDIT= Found it. thanks

The way I make rails, is to make the top (the bit you would hold onto or maybe sit on) out of a world brush, and then make the struts like others have said, func_illusionary and clip.
