Any way of avoiding silly texture misalignment like this?



The patch is as it appears, a simple trapezoid.

This confounds me. I've been using patches to align textures where brushes can't provide the accuracy I need, but goofing like this makes it largely useless.

Adding more patch points along the height of it only multiplies the problem at each point ;(



Don't get me wrong... it's oddly beautiful. But it's not the result i was seeking

As a sacrifice to the editing gods, I offer the following painfully-obtained information:

To sync a func_rotating with an item rotation, the correct speed key is 175.78

The possibilities are... well, limited. But pretty cool.

175.78

175.78... isn't that common knowledge by now?

:P

Try pulling out the middle vertex to further tesselate the patch, and play around with it from there.

You're some kind of fucking prodigy or something. Works perfectly if I mash up the central vertex like so:


You king :icon14:

Too kind, laddie :P

ah yet another wonderful thread to add to my bookmarks.

Kudos guys!

IIRC, you can also collapse some of those control points, so you have a 2x2 patch. Make sure drill patch points down is turned on.
