AreaPortal Leak

[Lightyena]

I really do not know how area portal works
I simply added some to my map and compiled it and now I get this error when I try to enter the map:

"portal> numareaportals"

here an img of the room where I added the area portal and under the compiled log...

PS: I am Brazilian and my English is horrible, I can even use google translator to help me, but most of the time, it does not translate correctly ...

Areaportals must be in every entrance to a structure they are being used with. If you load up the pointfile (it draws a red line to help you find leaks) it'll go through the gap in which the structure isn't sealed. The areaportals have to be in every entrance and window, and remember that only world brushes can seal your buildings, not props or brush entities

 

[Fillmore]

You may want to toggle func_detail off so you can tell properly set up areaportals easier (And like Squishy said they don't seal the world)

I do not have any func_brush / func_detail or props in this area of the map and the red line points to the skybox in an area without any leaks, here imgs of the red line:

That looks like your areaportal has one face not covered by the edge. Areaportals must never be able to draw a line from one face to another although the odd pointfile makes me think you might have a leak in the skybox?

I moved the area_portal a bit to fit in the door correctly and now it's in a loop ???

 

[Fillmore]

Seems like it's leaking from another way, now

 

[Erk]

Is the areaportal on a displacement? Displacements dont count as world brushes either.

 

[[Rx.] Christian Troy]

From that last pic it looks like the bottom of that area portal is still not covered with a world brush. All 4 sides of an area portal must touch a world brush on each side and must be covered by the brushes on all 4 sides or it will cause a leak. The front and back of an area portal are the only parts that don't have to be covered. Another thing about area portals is you can also have them go through func_details, displacements, props, etc. to touch a world brush on it's 4 sides to seal it. You can also make them thinner if needs be so all 4 sides are covered by a world brush. Just make sure they all the same thickness though because from what I understand it's their thickness that ties them together.

Actually, the thinness is for when you don't want them to be tied together. You see, coplanar areaportals are sometimes merged. Which can be bad for performance.
