Common Issue Troubleshooting​

Build Wizard is missing the preset options and says I don't have a valid map loaded​

  • Make sure you save your map before opening Build Wizard.

Something in my map isn't visible in World Editor​

  • Make sure it's toggled On in View Options and is not ghosted/hidden in Groups

I opened an environment and I can't remove it from my map​

  • Opened env decls in Environment Editor can be previewed in World Camera (SlowMap view - F3). The opened env is only applied to the map if it is also set in the Env Settings under worldspawn in Entity Inspector for the opened map.

I'm not able to draw brushes or interact with entities in my map​

  • Ensure Traversal Mode is disabled in the Traversal Editor if it was recently used.

I fell out of my map when I loaded in, even though my player_start is on a floor.​

  • If using "Play Game From Here" in World Camera, you will respawn where the camera is instead of at player_start. Make sure the camera is above a floor.

I know an entity exists but I can’t select it.​

  • Take a look at the Map Manager. You may be using a refmap that doesn’t include the entity you’re trying to select. You can only select entities in your current refmap.
  • The entity might be part of a group that is currently ghosted. To check this, open the Groups tool and look for any groups with the ghost symbol toggled on.
  • In Entity Inspector, click the selection dropdown and select the entity.
