I need a horizontal toggle opacity, where the top room is where Lara walks and the bottom one is where Lara can swim, and I need to add a kinda window, grate so I could see the bottom room from the above room and vice versa. Lara enters the room through a pole, the pole is placed on one of the windows, but when i let the pole go, Lara falls through the grate, like it was a the surfce of the water, but Lara mustn't enter the room after completing a puzzle. And i'm sure i didn't turn toggle opacity2 instead of toggle opacity on! Lara just falls through the grate, like there was none! I added the Toggle opacity from both rooms, plz help!

Okay, this *might* help you. I had the same problem and came up with a solution. It's a bit hard to explain, so take a look at this pic first:

Okay, as you can see, I was trying to make a room that Lara can walk through *in* the water room. I encountered the same problem you did, Lara just fell through the floor. To fix it, I went to the room below and brought the ceiling down one click. Then I angled the ceiling back where it met a wall. I then textured the ceiling with the "gray" color in the color palette (this makes it transparent and allows you to see into the next room). Now, Lara can walk all day on the floor above and not fall through .

(note: This is an image of an upcomming level of mine and may look diferrent when completed)
