Error: SV_SetBrushModel: NULL on entity 29/28

[Lazarus]

So I have been working today on my map and i am trying to figure out where the error in the title comes from, since i cant fire up the map anymore. I just added brushes. I went through the whole map, removed all func_groups again from the list and it left me with just about 40 entities. Still same error. Copied the map over to a different map, renamed, recompiled, same. The compile stage gives no error, so i am a bit stumped.

So took a bit up on the idea that it could be also something outside of an entity. so i made a copy of my map, removed all entities out of the file, palced a new spawnpoint and i could load it back in. So its somehwere in this mess, but not sure where. According to Ensiform, the numbering doesnt say everything. 29 was a waypoint in earlier file and in new file its something else where it jeps on 28, its something else.

SV_SetBrushModel: Null is a run-time error, and unfortunately will not be visible during compile. For a full explanation of what causes this error, see here:
https://nab622.com/tutorials/MappingErrors.html#runtime_errors-sv_setbrushmodel_null

Hopefully that can guide you in the right direction.

 

Edit: Just took a quick glance, and entity 43 in your list is definitely a culprit since it contains only an origin brush, although it is possibly not the only one:

I ll check it out. It has always worked anyway, until yesterday, havent touched it really, elsei ll try to remake it.

[NAB622]

Yeah, I figured you were using it to move a model. You're doing it correctly, but you need to add another brush to that entity. You can't have just an origin brush in it.

Add a small brush of caulking and that entity will no longer cause the error.

I would suggest using the nodraw texture rather then the caulk texture, since caulk is known for casting (unwanted) shadows . . . 

[Lazarus]

I used a small nodraw indeed (its a fly over object) and it does the trick indeed fine, it solved my issue
