Oh man you pulled out an old school question on us. I don't remember there being a nodraw texture in Quake 2. But hell, that was years ago, I could have missed it back then and I'd never know the difference.

What are you doing with Q2?

Could you just use something like the trigger texture? Unless there's something magical about it hidden within the engine that means you can only use it on triggers

EDIT: or make your own preflagged nodraw texture... I think the flags can be set in the .wal files? Been a long time since I messed with Q2 though.

as far as I know there was no such texture, only a flag. But you could make one I think.

I think Shallow is right.
I remember that you can set flags to .wal files so that would enable you to make your own nodraw.

However, not sure if nodraw means that polygons won't be drawn either, and maybe nodraw blocks light as well (although I remember there being a translucent flag too)
