BUG: Searching by Map->Find Brush->Entity # produces 0 results.

[AluminumHaste]

Using Map->Find Brush->Entity # produces 0 results.

If I check my map file, it shows

// entity 100
{
"classname" "atdm:torch_metal_wall"
"name" "atdm_torch_metal_wall_7"
"origin" "-641.601 1104.32 99"
"rotation" "0.503569 0.863956 0 -0.863956 0.503569 0 0 0 1"
}

If I do a search for entity 100 with that dialog box, I get no results, nothing shows in console either.

It works for brushes just fine though, if I type in 200 in the box and hit OK, it selects that brush

// primitive 200
{

 Probably because it's a static model I don't think "Find brush option" can handle models it's only designed to reach brush and patch group/func_stastic

[AluminumHaste]

Ah got it

[AluminumHaste]

Hmmm, that doesn't work either.

I created a new patch, it's showing up as Entity 320 in the map file

 

// primitive 320
{
patchDef2
{
"textures/common/shadow2"
( 3 3 0 0 0 )
(
( ( -1362 318 424 0 0 ) ( -1362 432 424 0 -0.8828125 ) ( -1362 544 424 0 -1.765625 ) )
( ( -1252 318 424 0.859375 0 ) ( -1252 432 424 0.859375 -0.8828125 ) ( -1252 544 424 0.859375 -1.765625 ) )
( ( -1142 318 424 1.71875 0 ) ( -1142 432 424 1.71875 -0.8828125 ) ( -1142 544 424 1.71875 -1.765625 ) )
)
}
}

But when I use Map->Find Brush->Entity Number and put in 320, I get no results. BUT, if I put 320 in Brush Number, I get that patch selected. So it seems brushes and patches are lumped into Brushes.

That dialog and its functionality is ancient. It must have been introduced when there haven't been any patches available at all - Brush Number really refers to "Primitive Number".

Entity 0 is the worldspawn, as you found out. Putting Entity 0 and a primitive number will look up the worldspawn brush/patch for you. I guess the dialog should be made to work with non-func_static models too, since the entity number 100 is a valid one and it should be found even if has no child primitives attached to it.

Not sure about the workflow though, what's the reason you're looking up the entity by number instead of its name? I guess the Entity List would do a better job at locating entities in most cases.

[AluminumHaste]

You're right, I didn't even know the entity list existed, it is much better.

I was looking up something in the .map file in Notepad++ and went to find it in the map via that dialog box.
