Talk:Prop scalable

This new entity has caught many an eye...
Anyone, in the community, work with it yet? --wisemx 14:05, 8 Nov 2007 (PST)

It looks very similear to prop_core_ball to me. I wonder if it has the same visibillity errors if it's bigger than it's bounding box.Sortie 14:09, 8 Nov 2007 (PST)

In Portal ?

How can an entity be available in Episode 2 but not in Portal ? This is stupid, isn't it supposed to be the same engine ? Whenever I try to use the EXACT same prop_scalable as in Episode 2 (with the shockwave effect and all), everything it says is :

Attempted to create unknown entity type prop_scalable!

Can't init prop_scalable

What a shame... --NykO18 10:08, 16 Mar 2008 (PDT)
