A question about a variable

[Chrono]

I literally quoted Badspot saying bricks don't do that.

You're disagreeing with the old you
Damn, figuring out those time strings takes forever

Bricks don't occlude completely. And not just because they're out of vision either.

They will hide faces if the side is completely covered.

Feel free to try and prove it wrong with screenshots.

I was also referring to bricks not being occluded by terrains/interiors. Not by other bricks.

What?

How am I supposed to take a screenshot of something that is out of view? Bricks do not occlude. I can actually prove it, too. Turn that variable on, $debugOctTree=1;

Look in console. There's actually a section that says occlude (0qrys, 0hid nodes)

0 occlision queries == no occlision.

What?

Make a cube of 1x1s. Teleport inside the cube. All you will see are the outside edges of the cube.

Obviously, that doesn't mean it occludes the other sides..
I see what you mean, if two bricks are touching the side is occluded, but we're not talking about that.

[Greek2me]

Actually I believe we were talking about that.

[Slicksilver]

No, we're talking about if there's a wall of bricks it doesn't occlude the bricks behind it.

At least that's what I was talking about, if one of you brought that irrelevant tidbit in that's your own fault.

[Greek2me]

Ah, no it does not do that.

[Chrono]

Actually we were talking about that.

as Chrono said, I'm pretty sure the oct tree is used for rendering bricks. I assume it hides edges of bricks touching other edges of bricks to make rendering bricks easier.

is it possible that the blue cubes aren't the smallest oct-tree subdivisions? If it is indeed the oct-tree that aids in hiding brick faces - it seems to me that the oct-tree should subdivide to the size of a 1x1 plate.

Maybe the subdivisons can be subdivided again into 8 sub-subdivisions?
