I have been creating a section of my level where you can spawn NPC's via buttons, but the NPC's every now and then get out of the confined area I created. I have tried blocking them with a brush textured in the system texture "blocknpc" but they still get out. Does anyone know any way to keep them from leaving the area?
  
 
  
  
    is this for mp or sp? 
 
 i think the blocknpc shader you are using uses the surfaceparm "monsterclip" which may not work. 
 
 
 textures/system/blocknpc2
 {
 surfaceparm donotenter
 surfaceparm nodraw
 surfaceparm noimpact
 surfaceparm nomarks
 surfaceparm nonsolid
 surfaceparm trans
 surfaceparm botclip
 qer_trans 0.15
 }
  
 
  
  
    You have to use the Do Not Enter shader. A demonstration of this is in the Korriban map that comes with GTK Radiant.
