Note:This entity does not actually change the location or number of leafs in a map. Hammer's portal file says this occurs, but commands such as mat_leafvis show the leafs to still be intact.Warning:The brush should not cross the surface of a water material or an areaportal. If it really does need to be used over water, bring the brush level with the surface of the water on one side, and then create a second, separate func_viscluster on the other side. Never allow a func_viscluster brush to cross a water plane, or very strange things happen.
