Water glitching.

[GigaNova]

Hello there,

I've made a map in the sewers but the water is acting all strange.
But its just at one point, like a line but you can clearly see it when you walk over it.

How its supposed to look like:

How it looks like when walking or standing on that 'line'.

There are no leaks, ive checked that many times.
I tried building the cubemaps, changed nothing.

Here is my compile log.

Your map leaked, fix that should solve this problem.

[GigaNova]

Nope, i checked the waypoints, no leak.

I used the co-ordinates, and i just got in the middle of nowhere, no brush there.
And the brush ID didn't exist.

How can this suddenly happen?

Do you have any areaportals? If so one must not be completely sealing two areas. And hmmm your water brush doesn't extend into the void does it?

Also change your skybox to a completely black one to remove the outline around the edge of the water brush (assuming your level never sees the skybox)

No, it doesnt extend into the void and there is a skybox because you go outside too.
Looking at it gives that glitch and looking down on it makes it completly dissapear!

[TheDanishMaster]

How about trying to remove the water, then compile it and see if you still get wierd errors? If you don't try building the water again

[GigaNova]

Ok, i completly rebuild it. Now its even worse. The glitch is now eveywhere on the water, except if you look down on it then it completly dissapears! It seems to reflect the outside skybox of some sort cause you can see outside buildings in the reflection.

[Ken Chan]

Maybe you give us the map, we take a look to it?
