Hi.
I'm working on a small new CTF map... and in the middle I need something to hide the opposite base, so i've put a bunch of trees, but that doesn't exactly work well because i need more, but more of those would create a low FPS.. so I made a grass texture, applied it to a face.. but now i want this brush to be so you can walk through it..
It has transparency at the top.. and the only way i know of making a brush walkable is to put a keyframe on with "no player collide" but this over-rides the transparency :'( |

if you applied grass, grass isnt transparent  |

no there is transparency at the top so it looks as though there isn't grass all the way up then it just ends without the tips of the grass
I just threw a quick texture together in Photoshop.. and it's a standing up face like this

Where the '|' is the face... |

You could try using a particle emmiter to emit the grass up, don't know the precise details on how to do this. But that way it could work for sure. |

Use a face brush... can't remember the exact way to do this, Bart told me a long time ago. It's like, use a face brush, make it solid and detail, and then hook it to a keyframe... or it might not need a keyframe.
Anyways, its somewhere in that ballpark...  |

giving it the keyframe will make it loose his trancparency. |

Try putting in a mass of those flying banners (like the ones in CM, near the base). Might work without lowering fps too much. |

Try making it a solid, detail, without a keyframe... that should work... I think if I remember right...  |

The brush disappears if I make it a portal. Believe me, I tried it  |

It doesn't need a keyframe I believe like that. |

How can that possibly work? That would mean we could walk through any glass / grating textured face brush... which we can't |

It was some setting... I'm obliviously not getting it right. I used to have one of Bart's map that did it, but I can't seem to find it. I'm going to keep looking, otherwise have him send it to me. But yes, it is possible. I posted it in the moving glass thread. |
