Hi!
Is there any ways to make a room not visible when noclipping outside the map?

depends on your map design to begin with
What are you trying to hide? If its just details you could func_brush geometry, then have a trigger brush at your "noclip" point to disable everything
If you're trying to hide the room's existence, maybe build a"shell" around it of world brushes and convert the visible walls to func_brush similarly

yes, im trying to hide the rooms existence.
it will be accesible by a secret door, but if noclip is enabled on the server (garrysmod) some would be able to see it when they noclip out of the map, this is what im trying to hide.
the rooms also appear through the skybox if im to far from the skybox "walls", weird.
Im wokring on a decompiled gm_construct, i am a newb at using hammer, so id rather modify than to start from scratch

Hello again, i did what you suggested (put brushes around it and func_brush'd the rooms)
but this made my skybox all massy in game, i will move them to world and see if that fixes it.
my water also fucked up, when looking at it, when in the water everything seemed ok.
is there a water texture that doesnt "darken" the vision in the water?
so i can see across my basin.

Make sure when you compile your map, you have vis set to either fast or full. Also make sure that only the top surface if your water is covered with the water texture, all other surfaces must be covered in the nodraw texture. Your water must also be the same height in the same vis leaf, if you want water at two different heights in the same vis leaf, you must tie one of the water brushes to a func_water_analog.

Most likely, just try different water textures, they are all different!

yah, the water was okay after i moved the brushes back to world from func_brush... weird.
and about the water texture i just wondered if you already knew any, coz changing to recompile and test and repeat gets a little tedious

Make a small test map with a bunch of different water textures in it, with the surfaces all at the same level.
Aaron, having two different levels of expensive water requires that they never appear in the same potentially visible set of leafs, not just seperate leafs.
