[Source 1] Hammer Tutorial V2 Series #4 "LEAKS"

[@Orincaby]

In case you're wondering why he keeps repeating the process, I believe it's a way of demonstrating what you'll likely encounter if you do have a leak

[@KedViper]

Yeah, you end up doing it over and over if you have problematic areas because you have to compile to find a new pointfile (to my knowledge).

[@thesunstep]

If you do NOT see any blue balls then make sure to enable "toggle helpers" you can find it on the tool bar on top of the program.

[@meokayenglish8361]

I dont see the option of toggle helpers in the tools section

[@Acroze]

@@meokayenglish8361 I'm sure you figured out by now that it's one of the symbols above the 4 screens, below the "tools" button (6th symbol from the right, looks like a lil sphere)

[@meokayenglish8361]

@@Acroze Appreciated the answers anyway, cant believe its been 1 year haha xD

[@DrakeDaraitis]

Hey dude, thanks for doing these new tutorials. Its really awesome to see you still taking interest into helping the community. I was the one who asked for the waterfall map. Keep up the good work.

[@thebackspacearchive1326]

Thank you so much. I was stressing out, but I found out that I turned all of my walls into entities. Thanks for the help. :)

[@AlexOxygen]

Your last advice helped me making my first map.. A recreation of my friend's apartment. A hostage map; consisting of two hostage spawn, located in both of his sisters' rooms. Terrorists spawning in his room, counter terrorists spawning in the stairs.

[@mistermister5199]

was the hostage his sister n mom?

[@AlexOxygen]

@@mistermister5199 2 sisters = hostages

[@Aperture_Lemons]

Thank you for reminding me that Load Pointfile show's leaks!

[@maxmcguire6092]

I have a leak on my map, but it says it's being caused by an infodecal on a brush in my map. I'm not sure how, considering the whole entity is within the map. EDIT: Nevermind, when I fixed the displacement brush next to it, the leak dissapeared for some reason.

[@muenzi01]

I do not know what exactly I did to fix that up, but this video has just helped me a lot thx bud

HELP i cant see the blue ball (tried center orgins, and only doors have it)

[@demon9554]

the blue ball was used for example

[@mor3nk74]

@@demon9554 what do you mean?

[@demon9554]

@@mor3nk74 to be honest after this long not even I know

[@demon9554]

@Alexander Weaver nope

[@test62290]

Thanks for this, at first I was getting upset because I thought an origin of an entity was leaking but turns out my skybox was actually just an entity instead of a world brush.

[@laksbispirit2415]

I don't know what's happening with the point file it just goes straight through the ground .

[@Azzlanoid]

I had the same problem. Does the ground have transparent areas? I just applied another texture and that was the fix.

[@wendalka6942]

it is probably because the ground is a displacement. Displacements cant NOT seal maps, you have to place another brush under it

[@assaku]

@@wendalka6942 Wait wow, your tip literally just fixed my map, so you can't say seal a map with a sky box and a no draw?

[@wendalka6942]

@@assaku You can seal a map with any brush so long as it hasn't been displaced. So yes, you can use a sky box and a no draw to seal a map

[@assaku]

@@wendalka6942 ook i dont get whats wrong then maybe there is a gap because i changed the texture, one moment it was fine. Then when i added a func_breakable(inside the map) the red line pointed towards nothing and a ct spawn

[@empyrealeagle4766]

I absolutely love these videos thanks for helping!!!

[@GlaZe08]

it says i have a leak but i cant load point file! help plz

[@nomushroom5679]

same for me!

[@a_t_rlook_v7173]

i cant see the red line

[@apchistuz]

Its generates only when map leaks

[@benm6861]

Great job on the tutorial waffle! :)

[@_Zerth0]

I have a solution for those who don't find the blue ball like me. I don't think that is the cleanest solution but the fact is it works. Just create a giant cube all around your map (with a texture ressource consumer-friendly like the dev ones) and make it hollow.

[@YeahJustAdam]

my entities dont have an origin... there is no "ball" in the 2d view to pull....

[@Fyr35555]

Guys alternatively if you are like me and know the prop but its location isn't showing, you can delete the prop by going to 'world model' then clicking 'find' and selecting the prop / deleting it. This worked for me I hope I can help you if it happens to you too.

[@oliverraisanen4022]

Can you or anyone help mee? i have a leak and the red lines lead to nothing.

[@brimstone2620]

Oliver Räisänen I had to delete my sky box and make a new one, that might help you.

[@pasadener_]

Brimstone I have the same problem and I did make a new skybox and it still doesn't work

[@jasonlor9735]

Maybe brush origin? It happens to me sometimes, especially on corners.

[@fieldsofbozos]

@@brimstone2620 you're the man, i've spent more than 2 hours to make a map and then it said it has a leak. i've been trying to find out how to solve this problem and i tried what you said, now it works. thank you so much!

[@CookieEater]

[@HivoltageCS]

how should i do it if my whole map is in contact with the void? should i just make a giant square to close it off?

so I have a leak on my terrorist spwan but the blue dot doesn't show up so how do I fix this?

[@StaticCloudYT]

I have a leak that goes straight through the floor. What.

[@tijmen3692]

Your floor is probably an entity

[@collaide]

I'm pretty sure I have an origin outside the map, however these blue balls, or origin markers or whatever they're called don't appear to me. They used to appear a few months ago. Do you know if it's possible to turn on/off?

[@TopHATTwaffle]

+Collaide They can be toggled on/off with this button. i.imgur.com/ofsCsgS.png

Thanks a bunch!

i have a logic auto outside the map and i move it inside and i reload the pointfile and the red line still points to where it was before i moved it inside my map

[@6216ryn]

THE BLUE BALL DOESNT EXIST

Select everything in the map and the ball should appear, then just start dragging it and a line will appear that leads you directly to the object.

I really hate how u didn't show us how to create the entity that finds the ball of the leak, im literally stuck now and don't know how to fix the leaks, all this thought me is how to find em...

That's not an entity. That's just a 2d helper Ball for the origin.

how do I make a box that will work with a flat map by making the map not have a leak

[@ComedyGTV]

I have a problem with my map when I compile it, it crashes. So I compile it without VAD and VIS and runs okay but in the compile log there are no errors that I know of. Also the load pointfile won't load a default file so I'm guessing it's not a leak.

[@saucedbox5138]

Im making a map and I cant seem to find the leak. I've loaded the pointfile and it just goes through the floor. I've looked at other comments and tried what they did but non of them worked.

[@trickerino]

1. Why are my info_player_terrorists always leaked? I can't find any more holes to fix 2. When I take away all my info_player_terrorist, it still stays that something is leaked but it doesn't say what is and the red line is pointing at the place where the last info_player_terrorist got deleted, how do I fix that?

[@Fotoliz]

hey dude, did you fix it? i really want to create maps but this error unmotivates me

[@trickerino]

@@Fotoliz Oh I'm really sorry but I don't know. Probably not since that comment was from 5 years ago and don't remeber if I fixed it or not. I stopped trying to make maps like a month after that comment. I wish you luck though

[@Fotoliz]

@@trickerino well, it was because the block didn't have any texture.(It was transparent) I added texture and it fixed my problem. Thanks anyways dude

[@luckyduckydrivingschool3615]

Which brush textures can be used to stop leaks?!?! It seems "clip" and "playerclip" and even "invisble" don't work... what's the best way to stop portalflow and visleaf generation?!?!?! I dont want to use "skybox" or "nodraw" becuase of the other effects those textures have...

[@eciruam9918]

Why cant I see the blue balls despite having the toggle helpers toggled?

[@lyares6038]

thank you soo much man !! I really love your vids they are very helpful

[@lampenpam]

place it inside the map and tell it to start opened. Or just move the origin inside the map.

[@Strelokos666]

Hammer doesn't load pointfile, asking me to do that. **** leaked **** string doesn't give coord of the leak itself. LoadPortals: couldn't read. Had no Idea how I broke everything. Few sessions ago I created some kind of stairs and then PointFile showed the leak being out there somewhere. But as I said, suddenly it disappeared, unlike the compile error

If you're still didn't got an answer: yes, func_details are entities as well and as such don't seal.

Did you enable Show Helpers? (View -> Show Helpers)? Anyway, you can just select the entity and go to Tools -> , Center Origins, its must fix it, unless the entity is completly outside the map.

[@jephrey2671]

All of the entities I place down are leaked even if it is actually in the map and also I think already tried that before

[@orbatson5092]

the Origin of the entity needs to be in the map, the origin is wheres realy the entity is. Try to select the whole map, and then go to Tools > Center Origin. if that not fixed the problem, i dont know what else...

[@icyrhodes2738]

How to fuck do I find the thing that has its origin out there?

Icy Rhodes you can just select the whole map and to search for origins outside the maps, the compiler can help you by giving you the entity and the origin where its leaked.
