Hazard Liquid Problems
So well... I learned a lot of things on Hammer studying custom made maps and the original portal maps, and I think my map is going well, but now I'm tryng to put hazard liquid in a certain part, and, even after reading all tutorials I found on the wiki, and other web sites, I just can't figure out how to fix my problems:
- When I jump on the liquid, I don't swim. I just fall in the liquid, just like it was a non-solid object (it's a func_brush, but I don't see anything diferent from the original portal maps!).
- I can't add the effect of the green goo on the liquid... I just fall on the hazard and them I see everything normal, without that green "mist".
Thanks.
Water cannot be tied to an entity, it must be left as a solid.
Read the tutorials more closely, all of them tell you to have separate water and trigger_hurt entities.
Please do not Private Message me for assistance. Post a thread if you have questions or concerns.
If you need to contact the staff privately, contact the Global Moderators via Discord.
Also, the green mist is a particle effect. Place an info_particle_system over the water and check the VDC's Portal Particle List for the appropriate systems.

Thanks for the help guys, it worked perfectly (I'm lazy to put the green mist, but I'll try all particles later). But (??) other strange problem occured: when I load my map, mat_fullbright have 1 in value, and I can't put 0! I write mat_fullbright 0 and nothing works. I tried loading other custom maps, and they start with mat_fullbright 1 too, but I put 0 and it turn offs... and other thing: sometimes, when I render my map, it crashes without purpose, them I run the map again and it works sometimes... is this normal?
And finally: I made a door exactly how Valve made on Portal Single Player (not the rounded door, the square one (door2.mdl, if I'm not mistaken). I add a prop_dynamic, then I put a func_door inside it, make the func_door parent to the prop, put triggers to make it open, but when it was supposed to open, nothing happens. I just hear the sound of the door opening... I thought it was a problem involving the ceiling above the door; then I made it a func_brush, to make the door pass through the ceiling, and the map crashed when I loaded it... then I tried to make a hole in the ceiling, and the map crashed again... what I'm supposed to do to make the door open correctly? There's no leaks, and no problems when I check for problems.
You likely have leaks and didn't parent the door model to the door itself.
mat_fullbright is considered a cheat.
So you need to type sv_cheats 1 and the mat_fullbright.
If you go from a fullbright map and then to a normal (Valve) map, full bright will stay on. and because you need sv_cheats 1 then you will not get achievements!
I think Omnicoder told you about your door

Obviously I write sv_cheats 1 before using mat_fullbright... I'll check the door to see what's the problem...
And I don't have leaks... at least, no leaks are showed on the process window when I render my map... it's possible to my map have a leak even if the process window and the pointfile don't show me nothing?
EDIT:
Okay, my error on the door was kinda stupid... the func_door was parent to the prop, and the prop to the func_door... so now It's corrected and working, thanks Omnicoder.
But the mat_fullbright problem continues... andI think I have something useful to correct it. This is what appears on the process window when I run the map:

What this mean?
EDIT?:
Well, very strange... I run the map once again and suddenly everything worked fine. 
mat_fullbright can be 0 now in my map... so thanks everyone for the help!

These aren't a problem and will always appear. Anyway glad it's working.
