Need help on how to make areas where engis can't build

[Little Pixel]

So I don't know how to make areas where engis can't build, that's pretty much the only thing I need to know right now.

If someone is willing to help, I'd be very grateful!

Just a trigger with func_nobuild. That's basically it. It's always used on the spawn rooms,so ye.

Trigger + func_nobuild = gud.

Place a trigger brush over the area you want and make it a func_nobu- I'VE BEEN NINJA'D

Ah well, here's a link to the VDC Page
And here's a plug for the Valve Maps Decompiled page, where I learned a lot of this shit

Thanks for that, I tried typing build in the search bar and nothing popped up, don't know why I didn't try searching nobuild. cx

Protip: if you make a map that has deep water, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD put a func_nobuild in it. The one thing that's worse than a mini-sentry is a mini-sentry you can't see because anything underwater is basically invisible to people above the surface.

inb4 people disagree because they like trolling with underwater sentries

Just a note: a func_respawnroom trigger doubles as a nobuild on its own, so you don't need to worry about adding one in the same space.

Yeah... I know about that far to well.

Clip brushes will also automatically block engineer buildings, as does trigger_hurt (I think?)

Yeah. Triggered_hurt don't let engineers build too

Sentries can't target people outside the water though, IIRC

That's kind of worse, though. If they could, people would actually discover them before jumping into the water where there's no way to hide from them.

If it were up to me, I'd update the game so that water volumes all automatically double as nobuilds, and say it's because the water would short them out anyway.

I think i'd prefer to have the option to allow them.

The only time I see it happen is on 2Fort and nobody plays that map anyway. How did we get on this subject? Never mind

Last I remember, they could, unless Valve changed that recently?

...seriously needed to know that. Now, to go delete all the unnecessary nobuilds in all my spawns...
