== Not walkable faces ==

Tick '''Not walkable''' in the tool's settings to mark the selected faces not walkable; untick it to clear them. It is one undo step. Use it to keep players off places they should not stand: roofs, ledges and cliff tops outside the play area.

In the game, standing on a marked face counts as standing on a slope too steep to walk, whatever its real angle:

* The player has no footing there: they cannot jump, and they can only drift with air control.

* On a '''sloped''' marked face they slide down and off, as off any steep slope. A '''flat''' one does not push anyone off; to clear players off a flat roof, put an angled [[Level Editor/Entities/Brush|collision-only brush]] over it and mark that.

* Bots never path onto a marked face.

Marked faces are hatched in every view ('''View > Show Not-Walkable Surfaces'''). The mark stays on a face through cuts, clips, merges and mirrors; a new face made by a cut starts unmarked. For terrain, use the [[Level Editor/Panels/Terrain#Not walkable mode|Terrain tab's Not walkable mode]].
