Hello

For an object in WED,you can click on the visible and passable properties
So I suppose it should be possible to have a non visible and non passable object
An invisible barrier I mean
But it is not like that
An invisible object is alwayes passable
Am I doing something wrong?

that's right, i don't understand it either...
but if you want to make an invisible non-passable block, you can do it by going into the properties of the block, clicking 'surfaces', then 'flags', and checking the "none" flag for every surface...

does anyone know a way to make a non-passable, invisible block that doesn't make shadows on the lightmap?

Take your block/s, make a mapentity out of it (build it sepatate in WED with [Build Map Entity] and place it in your level ([add map entity]).
Set the flag invisible - now it's invisible, throws no shadow and is NOT passable...

thanks

An alternative if you want to use a model, is to set its invisible = off, transparent = on and alpha = 0.

cheers,
