I cant build a sg in my flagroom

im working on a tfc 1.5 map.

the map compiles with no errors. but when i test the map, and try to build a sg in the flagroom, it says that there is not enough room. anywhere near the flag it says that. i can build a sg anywhere on the map except the flagroom

can anyone help me

You most likely have an entity spanning the space in which you're trying to build. This typically happens when you have several objects bound to one entity. For example: If you have two lights, one either side of the room, and bind them to a single func_whatever entity, you cannot build a sentry between the two lights even though the space is empty. This is because HL treats the bounding cuboid around the two entities as a solid space.

ahhh thank you

now it makes sense. i have glass on both sides of the flagroom and i tied both of them to the same entity. ill just seperate the entities.

once i finish it for 1.5, ill convert it for FF
