How Big is too Big for a Map?

[AGP]

In practise then, this means it helps to space things out. A map laid out like a house, where the walls are 6 inches - 1 foot thick is likely to cause a slowdown. A map with big gaps, as if the walls were 2-4 metres thick or more, should help the process of occlusion culling. This is something I realised since make The Trapdoor, which has some dense corridors which drag the framerate down in places.

Precisely, this was my concern, as I made the map with the logic of building a real world home, and most every room was a square next to another square, so I've been going through and changing the rooms up, making some smaller or pulling in a few walls to not only make the room look more interesting, but it also help with adding some more kind of "gap space".

Of course you can go the manual way and disable/enable entities as you move through the level, but it might be tedious. However if you have certain models with very high poly-counts, consider disabling them whenever the player is away. A single grunt can have the effect of 10 chairs.

For this it would just be SetEntityActive and set it so the script continues with every collide? Which models would you consider this most useful for, like fireplaces, bookcases, etc.?
