Disappearing prop_dynamic (Rendering in the Wrong Room)

[Metric]

Heyo. I got some problems with maps again.

When I approach the saws, they disappear.

The room with the saws in question are separated with an area portal from other rooms, yet, the saws render when the room its in doesn't.

I tried to fix this by expanding the visleaf the saws are in, but no luck.

Anything that I've said here might not be relevant.
Any help about fixing this would be appreciated.

I think your prop_dynamic might have the model draw distances min / max wrong way set. Also, you are using power of 4 displacements, do not do that.

[AsG_Alligator]

Yeah, those bloody grinder models were misbehaving for me too. I haven't figured out how to fix it so I just decompiled the model and made a custom one.

 

[Metric]

ahhh, well reducing the displacement to the power of 3 didn't fix this issue. I hope I can find an easier way than remaking the model.

 

[Metric]

I feel like it has smth to do with the area portal, because it renders when the door is open when I'm inside.

 

[Metric]

Oh well, removing the area portal to that room has solved this problem. Ripe.
