Problem With Skulks Not Sticking To Glass...

<div class="IPBDescription">func_wall and func_seethrough</div> I've been having an odd problem with glass, i'm using the texture GLASS_MED and i find that some compiles i can walk on it as a skulk and other times the skulk can't grip onto it. It's the same if it's a func_seethrough or func_wall.

I've been trying out a few and it appears that the skulks not sticking more often than not.

If i need to use another function or texture i'd rather do it sooner than later. Anyone seen this before???

    i have seen this before on func_walls. i put a clip brush in the same place as the walls. that allows the skulks to walk up it. However if you are having breakable glass then puting a clip brush there is going to block the player movement after its broken <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> not sure what to do in that situation.

    you wouldnt use a func_wall or illusionary to make breakable glass, you use a func_breakable <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    and if i remember correctly, skulks can walk on those.

    Of course you can make things looks like glass with func_wall or func_illutionary. But you cant make them break. So you have to make func_breakable. I'm not sure if skullks can walk on func_breakable s.

    If its glass it should always be func_breakable, even if its not ment to be broken (just set to "unbreakable glass"). Otherwise you won't get that nice glass ricochet noise.

    And yes they can walk on func_breakable, checked it about an hour ago =]

    Thanks for that idea. I never really thought about that...

    yeah. i'll be changing mine over


    on a side note, last compile i can walk on func wall glass fine. haven't touched that room or that side of the map for that matter and i couldn't last time.


    I've also noticed that when evolving upgrades as an onos i can get stuck in the floor. It's not something that happens on proper maps. reminds me of how you used to have to duck to evolve into an onos in previous versions. I can't think what i'd be doing to cause these problems. it's flat floor, nothing special.

    You have to compile with the NS hullfile (ns/nshulls.txt). Use the -hullfile switch for CSG.

    You need to compile with nshulls.txt as the hull file. This is an option in the csg part of the compile. Use nems batch compiler if you aren't already to make the compile setup easier.
