It works!
Here, let me give back to the community:
If you want projected textures to occlude properly, head into
c_env_projectedtexture.cpp and add:
...
public:
DECLARE_CLIENTCLASS();
bool ShouldDraw( const Vector &vecOrigin );
...
...
bool C_EnvProjectedTexture::ShouldDraw( const Vector &vecOrigin )
{
int LeafNum = enginetrace->GetLeafContainingPoint(vecOrigin);
return render->AreAnyLeavesVisible(&LeafNum,1);
}
...
Change
if ( m_bState == false )
{
To
if ( m_bState == false || !ShouldDraw( GetAbsOrigin() ) )
{
in UpdateLight()
And finally:
void C_EnvProjectedTexture::Simulate( void )
{
//UpdateLight( false );
UpdateLight( true );
BaseClass::Simulate();
}
