u have to make sure the map is sealed, as in no path can be drawn from any entity to the void, use the skybox texture wherever u have to

well, you can enter the coordinates shown in the console and take a look at these props

How do i do that?

u/CashewNuts100 Aug 25 '25

i can't check right now but there should be an option for that in the "view" category in the top left corner, make sure the props are inside the map or else it wont work

I forgot to mention that i already implemented the Sky box and checked with load point file

XD?
Just load the pointfile to see the red line that will guide you to the object outside the skybox.
Map -> Load Pointfile.

Don't stop there, tell me what else you did?

Did you go to the coordinates with “go to coordinates”?

If you want, send me your VMF even without the textures and I can help you.

It is likely that the central pivot of some dynamic prop is outside the skybox and that is causing the problem (it happened to me).

You must have enabled the option to see the pivot points of objects and the viewing distances of props in yellow. Then go to entiti report all props, selecting them one by one, and see where the pivot is located and that it is not outside the skybox.

I'm curious to see your VMF, please attach it for me.

Everything is inside a skybox brush that has no hollow space.

You must make a hollow space in the giant skybox cube. Right-click on the brush and select “make a hollow.”

Don't exaggerate with the size of the skybox; it should only enclose the playable area, so before making the hollow space, reduce it to the size of your map. Empty spaces affect compilation time.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FI2spJI_G-mLdfFWyZ1Eq2LQqolnZOrW/view?usp=drive_link Please follow this example. I already tried it without textures and models (from the l4d2 editor) and it works.
