Talk:Func instance

Removed L4D2 template because it works fine in other games (as it is processed and removed by the compile tools) --Omnicoder 23:51, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, Omni. I'll change it to all Source games. --ThaiGrocer 00:26, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Started using this with Alien Swarm and noticed some weird behaviour.

1. Create an instance-vmf with a func_wall entity at the origin (0,0,0) and an arbitrary size (e.g. 128,16,8)

2. Create a parent-vmf and import the instance-vmf via func_instance

3. Rotate the func_instance by 90 degrees, so that the new apparent size is (16,128,8)

4. Compile the map

5. You'll notice that func_wall inside the func_instance will have its "original" rotation with apparent size (128,16,8) instead of (16,128,8).

Changing func_wall to func_illusionary will lead to the same result after compiling.

However, if using func_brush, it'll be rotated correctly BUT you can see lighting artifacts which suggests,

that it has been rotated before lighting (which is correct) but the light-map applied is NOT ROTATED,

leading to shadows on the resulting func_brush which shouldn't be there.

Any ideas, am I using it wrong or is it bugged? --Esdeekay 16:16, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
