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

Any ideas what can cause it?

Voice on background is my friend from Skype, don't pay attention to him :biggrin:

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

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)

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.
