r_drawclipbrushes is a CVAR used to display clip brushes (invisible walls) in the map. These brushes can block both players and NPC's.
Usage
| # | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Default value, clip brushes are not rendered. |
| 1 | Only shows clip brushes' outlines. These outlines can be seen through walls. |
| 2* | Shows clip brushes as properly rendered brushes in the level. |
*This option is only available on Source Engine 2007 and newer.
Clip brushes are colored to show what they block:
| Color | Description |
|---|---|
| Red | Blocks both players and NPC's. |
| Pink | Blocks players only. |
| Purple | Blocks NPC's only. |
The CVAR is often used for routing as you might need to see if there are any clip brushes blocking up a path or any that you could abuse to get to unintended places. Despite not being a cheat-protected command, you can not use this in a speedrun.
