I was playing around with Aerial Faith Plates I took from map by -TRASE- and got this bug.

Any ideas what can cause it?

You were forced to hard through the portal, which pushed you out of the world. This can probably be fixed by making the roof brush thicker.

Wow! I am impressed I have never seen that been done before. Can you say terminal velocity? xD

I hate hanging with angry people. Why live life if your not having fun ALL the time? =)

It's a custom made puzzle element, expect it to be buggy.

All I can say is either a) have a longer distance between the aerial faith plate and the ceiling or b) make the ceiling thicker/have a kill trigger on the outside (which may cause a leak, so both options might have to be executed)

Hear the turret, for it is knell. It summons thee to heaven, or to hell.

I don't believe triggers outside of the world cause a leak. In fact, I'm pretty sure VALVe's maps are overflowing with extra-playable-area triggers.

Triggers can cause leaks, I have had leaks from them a few times. I have found that certain triggers, however, do NOT cause leaks (Trigger_transition, Trigger_changelevel and oddly Trigger_soundscape)

The remedy for that would be putting the trigger IN the ceiling brush. It appears entities in the volume of world brushes do not leak. so far i have found no adverse effects exept odd lighting on static props with thier origins in brushes but that is normal and easily fixed.

That's what I was thinking of.

Strange problem with getting out of the world
