my water is invisible when I put the texture and the water is dark

[solar saddle]

This is what it looks like

[wild path]

you need to add env_cubemap and point it at the water

[solar saddle]

Ok it works but it became invisible again

Also none of my props float in the water

[wild path]

Maybe you should change texture of the water

Or, maybe, there is some leaks

OR you carved the water

[solar saddle]

I fixed the leaks

[solar saddle]

The texture doesn’t really matter it does the same thing

[solar saddle]

I don’t even know how to carve

[wild path]

Understood. Maybe, you have problems with rendering, or Hammer

Try redownloading it, idk

Only the top side of the brush is water? The water brush doesnt cut through any other brushes?

[solar saddle]

How do you make the texture only go on one side of the water

Ahh yeah that could be the problem.

For a beginner, I actually liked keeping a bucket of water in the map, because it's really sensitive to map issues, and immediately shows when something is wrong.

Also none of my objects float

They just sink to the bottom

Only I float

I took a look at the map briefly (I didn't have much time), I have a few ideas.

You've applied the water texture on multiple brush faces, and the wiki suggests having multiple water surfaces in proximity breaks it.

[solar saddle]

How do I remove those brush faces

[alpine rover]

You could retexture them to "nodraw" which will resolve the issue.

You could also try deleting all the water related brushes and just creating one block, and only placing the water texture on the top face, the rest being nodraw.

You also could try different water textures, since sometimes I've had issues with broken water textures.

[solar saddle]

How do you place textures on a specific face

Sorry I’m new to this

I changed the texture

It’s still invisible

But

Idk how to make it on one side

Also my props just fall to the bottom without floating

[alpine rover]

I'll continue looking at it, if I fix it I'll send you the file and explain the changes
