[Fixed] Point file doesn't have a source I can select and move, so I can't fix the 'leak'

[Jabba]

I have no way of dragging the point file of the light entity into the map, anyone who can help?

It's called a leak. You have to trace the red line from its source (an entity, in this case the light), follow it, then find where it gets into the void (aka the black stuff outside your map). Seal that hole with a world brush and bippidy bappidy boop, leak sealed. Unless you have more leaks, in which case a new red line will pop up at a new location going towards a new hole in your map.

 

[Yrr]

are you sure the origin if the light is outside or does the red line travel through a hole in the map?

if it's the hole thing then seal the hole.

I'm 100% I have no leaks. In the compile data only the light is shown as a leak.

It goes into the void. This is the compile list (no VIS or RAD, but results are the same)

And in case you're wondering, the 'leak' goes straight through a solid wall:

The triggers are all func_nogrenades with a solid wall behind them.

 

[Yrr]

check the wall isnt a func_brush or otherwise

It's a func_detail. Does it matter that the side on the void is nodraw? I don't think it does but it never hurts to ask.

It has to be a world brush.

Ok, changed it toWorld and I have no more leaks. Thanks guys for the tip ^^
