Cars (for cover)

[DrRickDaglessMD]

Im not sure whether you'd be able to use loads of cars without pushing the polys up way too far, but it'd be interesting to see what you come up with.

I think the map Tha Brotherhood Cosmic Club by SinisterMinister (cosmic3.bsp) has a selection of vehicles on: an SUV, a sports car and an articulated trailer and cab.

I don't know where we are in the discussion about whether it's good practice to decompile other peoples maps and take out things like that, so I think you should at least look at it to get some pointers.

When did we determine "models were unusable"?  simply add the car model AND clip around it, you have a CAR and COVER, both of you which you were looking for.

As we have mentioned earlier...

1. Paint goes through clip brushes, so you'd have to use a nodraw brush
2. You'd need to alight it very well or the paint would either go through the outside surface of the car or splat a couple of centimetres away from it
3. That would be very hard to do considering you'd have to estimate, because BSP won't render the model for you to workaround.

If you check the following flags, you should be set:
nodraw
translucent
detail

Also make sure the model does not reside INSIDE of a brush, or it might do funky things.  Make a hole in the middle of the brushes if you have to.  Try to keep the brushes from touching anything as well, so they won't split the map (as much).
