How is it that a func_respawnroomvis can leak?

Never heard of this before, it's not outside the map boundries and it's not within a world brush, how is it that this is leaking?

Load the pointfile and see where it leads you, you may get a surprise ?

It points from the void at the bottom of the map up into the floor, which seals that portion of the map. I doubled checked and the floor is sealed. I turned off all entities and tool brushes and ran the compile again and it says leaked but doesn't say where and when I try to load a pointfile, there isn't one. Does that mean there isn't a leak if it won't load the pointfile? It must know that the entity is still there because the portalside errors don't show up when the areaportals are not turned off.

It must have something to do with having a spawn room trigger assigned to it. I copied it from another area on my map and set it in place because there will be a room there eventually. I deleted it and now it's fine.

these mean m...fuckers are most probably causing your problem

vbsp can´t determine to which visleaf they belong and gets frenzy and bugs out

these errors can be caused by areaportals cutting into big brushes/ way to big brushes/ brushes cut by hint-brushes

load up the coordinates provided by the error-report and check which brush might be a candidate of the causes i stated above
you can then either do something with the brush itself (slit it, etc...) or with the areaportal/hintbrush


hope that helps

this error is annoying, but i believe one you get rid of that, you get a bugfree report

I got it fixed. I had some chicken wire on the back of spawn room opening windows and I forgot that any time you have a translucent texture, you need to make it a func_detail and then put a areaportal there also. Once I did that I got it working fine. I'm assuming some of the same rules apply to func_respawnroomvis. It will say it leaks because if there is a translucent texture showing to the other side, essentially it's acting like an areaportal does. It's saying it can't keep enemy's out because there is a way for them to get to the other side, via the translucent texture brush. I haven't put the respawnvis back in yet but I assume it will work just fine now that the area is sealed with areaportal. Everything is good now. Thanks.
