 Re: prefab textures messing up

I have a question.
I'm working on some prefab buildings to put into a CS:S map. I'm trying hard to make my building look interesting. I then save the building as a prefab to inport into a level at a later time.

My question is, when i do texture alignment i'm setting the texture tool to "face" instead of "world" so that theoritically when i paste my prefab into the map all my adjustments would be based on local co-ords and not global ones, therefore i would expect the textures to keep their alignment.

However, all textures are behaving as if there using world co-ords and therefore the textures shift if i move my prefabs around at all.

Is this feature functioning as intended?

If so, can anyone recommend a solution to my problem?

I appreciate any help in advance.

Lagnath

Edit note: Fixed some spelling.

Is texture lock on? Try that. Tools---> texture lock.....or shift-L

The sword of simplicity knifes cleanly through the problem...
In other words, thanks for the simple solution... and the lightning quick answer

Sometimes it takes another mind to see clearly throught the fog of confusion
