The tools textures can easily be found in Hammer by running "tools" as a filter word in the texture browser. These textures have extra attributes that most textures do not.
Note:Here's a tutorial on using many of the Source Tool textures shown below| Image | Name | Special attributes |
|---|---|---|
|
Area portal | Use with func_areaportals and func_areaportalwindows |
|
Black | Black texture, unaffected by light. |
|
Block LOS | Blocks the line-of-sight of NPCs and bots |
|
Block bullets | Solid to bullets but not light or other objects. |
|
Block light | Invisible; casts shadow like standard materials |
|
Clip | Solid to all objects. Is not rendered. |
|
Player clip control | Purpose is unknown, possibly a clip texture for player-controlled vehicles e.g. Airboat, Jeep. (See "player clip" below for the tool texture that restricts player movement.) |
|
Fog | Does not seem to work. (You can use this for func_smokevolume instead of the trigger texture but NOT for func_dustcoud) |
|
Hint | Divides visleafs. |
|
Invisible | Solid to all objects, invisible and does not cast shadows |
|
Ladder | Invisible; Use in Counter-Strike: Source with func_ladder. |
|
No Draw | Solid; Invisible; seals leaks; blocks visibility if used on all surfaces of the same brush |
|
|
No Draw Roof | Identical to No Draw. The only difference being a separate texture name to differentiate them. |
|
NPC clip | Solid to NPCs but not players or other objects, is not rendered. |
|
Occluder | Use with func_occluders |
|
Origin | Use to set the rotation origin of rotating entities; deprecated for use in Source maps (Basic idea of an origin brush was used in Goldsource mapping) |
|
Player clip | Solid to players but not NPCs or other objects, is not rendered. |
|
Skip | Invisible; has no effect on anything. Useful in combination with HINT. SKIP faces are removed during compile, so a brush textured with skip won't prevent leaks. Also useful as a tool in Hammer for grouping, moving, place-holding objects. |
|
Skybox | Use to make 2D skyboxes. Casts light if there is a light_environment entity in the map. |
|
SkyFog | [Todo] toolsskyfog.vmt does not contain any properties. |
|
Trigger | Use on Trigger entities and Buyzones in Counter-Strike: Source. Also don't forget to move the selected trigger brush(es) ToEntity so you can change the properties. |
