Hidden Areas in editor - FlawlessHappiness - 11-09-2012 My editor seems to have hidden areas that i can't see. Though, this only happens in the main maps. I cannot select them, nor see them. I just want to see how they did it. Why can't i? RE: Hidden Areas in editor - The chaser - 11-09-2012 Weird thing. Maybe they just made planes without applying a material (sometimes happened to me). You say that you cannot select them? RE: Hidden Areas in editor - FlawlessHappiness - 11-09-2012 No. But i know there is something up there, since i saw the easteregg in a video.. And i can see the billboards... but cannot select them RE: Hidden Areas in editor - The chaser - 11-09-2012 Today, by accident, I think that I got the answer. Go at the bottom of the level editor, there should be something called "Clip planes". Now, open the dropdown, and there will be a plane called "1". It isn't enabled, though. If you enable it, a part of the map disappears. Which leads me to think that Frictional Games did this for performance. I don't really know much about what are these, but hope it helped. RE: Hidden Areas in editor - FlawlessHappiness - 11-09-2012 YES AWESOME!!! Thank you! You are a genius! RE: Hidden Areas in editor - Cranky Old Man - 11-09-2012 This is a common editor feature in general level design: You hide the areas that you're not currently working on. Working on a huge level without this aid, would be somewhat of a mess. It was a while since I worked in the editor, but I think they divided the levels into horizontally sliced layers, resembling floors. RE: Hidden Areas in editor - FlawlessHappiness - 11-09-2012 It doesn't look horizontal to me. When i press + it just cuts off at the Z line
