Hi,
I am new to game making and RealityFactory.I am in the processi of creating a game.So I have desiged a level
with two rooms in it and in one room I have put light and playerstartup.But I am not able to put the door properly
between the rooms as I am getting the following eror.

Occupied : 5
Num Points : 5
Pos1 = 4
Pos2 = 68
Failed to remove hidden leafs.
Compile Failed: GBSP_CreateBSP encountered an error, GBSPLib.Dll

I am sure that I am making mistake , but I am not able to figure it out.Is there any tutorial for putting door between the rooms?

Looking forward to see your valuable help.

Thanks

Have you read Making 3d games with Reality Factory, the ebook on the main site?

And from what i remember, you get that error when there is a gap that 'lets the void in'. This is known a leak. To fix it, make sure all the doors and walls are exactly against each other. You can't have any gaps or you will get an error.

Welcome to forums :)

In 3D view you just move in the map and go to the doorway, and check if you see any black area in the doorway.. If you see, then there's a LEAK, and you have to mak your doorway "smaller" so the leak "disappears" :D..

If you don't see any black area, then check if any of your entities are not outside of map (rooms)..
Hope you got help!
