dissapearing act

ok im building this map yadda yadda yadda

and some of my models ie:table and dumpster turn invisable when i run the map

everything with them seems to be fine EXCEPT i cant see the damn things

any help would be greatly appreciated

you probably messed with your fade distances. make sure the maximum is set to -1 and the minimum to 0. when you drag a model and you accidentally drag the little circle inside of it....that messes with the fade distance. the circle represents the range you have to be within the prop before it starts to become visible. in other words...try not to drag that little circle.

i new it had something to do with that rat bastard circle!


thank you for saving me about 3 hours of tinkering

sure thing...i think everyone thats new to hammer comes across that problem...it really sucks

 

[dorain8]

any other reason? the fade scale fixed a bunch of my models however there are a few more including a door on a wall which do not load

(door on a wall-leads to nowehre merely a prop....bycicle.....cardboard box

if that dont work your best bet is to delete the faulty model and put it back in....doesnt take much effort. is the door a model?

Try using a different prop thing. Sometimes some props don't like to be certain types.

edit, it has been a while since I opened hammer.

prop type, not func thing.
Not everything works with prop_static and all that. If it doesn't work for one type use another.
