HELP PLZ I REALLY WANT TO PUT THIS IN MY MAP AND NOT HAVE IT MESS UP

i don't know why we're still talking about this...

A note for Portal developers: 3D skyboxes are not visible when observed through portals.

That being said if you have sky boxes in a map, and a portal in the map. craziness will happen. ONLY WAY you can use skyboxes in a map without any fear of it breaking is to NOT HAVE ANY PORTALS ACTIVE. like in a cut-scene, or a map where the player has no access to portals. you cannot fix this.

because it is visible through my portal and its cutting through my map ?

so like. im trying to figure out a way to make sure it doesn't show up through my portals.

So with the screenshot when you go through the portal all that terrain stuff disappears?

The way you make sure it doesn't happen, is you don't have a 3D skybox. This is a technical limitation - there is NO workaround.
