I am a beginner map maker and I am having a slight problem on my map. There is a spot that is causing a weird graphical glitch that looks similar to the way water looks when you have a leak in your map. I was hoping that someone knows what causes this. Thanks

1. Do you have a leak?
2. Did you forget to put a skybox?
Explain more, I am not sure where you are receiving the effect: is it everywhere, or just in a certain spot.

I loaded the pointfile and there were no leaks and I also have a skybox.
The effect is just in a small spot. I don't really know how else to describe it =/.

I took 2 screen shots. This is the only spot that this occurs.
Do you have any areaportals?
No I don't.
I had a problem with this earlier, and remember that it had something to do with a nodraw brush. I ended up deleting it, and the problem was fixed, so I never got to figure out what was fully causing it.
Ok thanks. I'll try remaking the nodraw brushes.
I moved deleted and remade all my nodraw brushes. I only have 4 func_doors and 2 respawnroomvisualizers. I had the respawnroomvisualizers around the door brushes so i moved it outside. The problem still persists however.
I used alt+p and found some errors. I fixed them however its still glitching.

Show us a picture of it in hammer. Then we'll (probably) know what it is.
Here it is in hammer. If there are any other views or windows you think you want to see i can get those as well.
What grid do you mean? The 3d view?
Would it help if i uploaded the bsp and vmf for the map?

Since it doesn't look like you have any nodraw faces visible, it could be a portal side error. I got them occasionally with earlier maps when I used huge brushes to seal off the map. 90% it's completely benign, but it caused effects like this for me every so often. Compile your map, hit the copy to clipboard button and paste it into this:

My only suggestion at this point is to rebuild this entire section of the map.
