im almost done with one of my maps, but when i enter one of my houses the stair turns different colors when i look at it at diff angles...
its happened before but not to where the stair turns totally black at a certain angle..
is it a conflict with lighting? and advice?

I've ran into the same problem as you in one of my other maps.. Rather annoying.. I assume it has to do with areaportals, I never could quite figure out the problem, but you can figure out the source of the problem by noticing that it only blanks out when you face a certain direction.. So whatever it is, is in the direction it blanks about?

Try using a different texture. I get this problem alot, its most likely because of the texture.

The problem IS to do with the texture. If it's a texture with MODEL in the name some where it won't work. That's because it's meant for props and stuff. There should be an identical one with out model in the name which should work.

It might be your lighting try adding a light in that room or where the stairs are and test differant settings out. Also it could be textures overlaping make sure the map is decent and not all over the place:)

i dont uderstand this either, i have a wooden pier and if i turn to s a different angle it goes all dark. If i point at it with the flashlight it lights up. Its kind of confusing.
Thanks
BTW, I'm not copying anyones name...

Your pier is made of a texture with model/ at the beginning of the name. Replace it with something that doesn't start with that and all will be well.
