Funky displacements

[Minos]

Hey guys. I've been getting this all around my INS map, whenever I add a displacement overlapping a world brush it turns to pure black depending on your view angle. Isn't that possible in Source? I also make the brushes above the ground before converting them to displacements but I still get this error. Example:

I also hate it how the decals I apply on such displacements always flash ingame. They look full bright depending on the view angle, even if they are 100% in the shadows.

Sounds like your using a model texture on the displacement, since it's turning black based on angle. Don't use textures that start with /models/ !

Try using an overlay instead of a decal.

lol I'm pretty sure I used a world texture but I'll look into that anyway (I can't be this dumb...)

haha well smart people do dumb thigns i know i do. but really there isn't any other cause of that except maybe a failed vis scrwing with rad, but thats unlikely
