I'm sure that question sounds insane, but it's true. I added water to my map but it didn't work because there was a leak, so I wrapped my map in a box of skybox texture (excluding the area my 3d skybox is in) I then wrapped my skybox in a no-draw box, because there is a teleport destination into the skybox that was also causing a leak.

The problem with that is that water works, but there is no light. There was light before I added the box, using a light_env, and env_sun. I also tried removing the light_env / env_sun and leaving one or the other, no luck.

There was also an env_sun in the 3d skybox, but removing it only cause the lighting in the skybox to change, but the actual map still dark.

When I remove the large skybox around my map, the lighting works again, but the water breaks. As well if I remove the nodraw around my skybox, or both.

I also tried putting the skybox into the large skybox-box around my map, which also did not work.

No matter what I try nothings working, someone help please?

-Side note, everytime the water worked, my map had no leaks, but the map was not receiving light. When I removed the boxes, the leaks came back, and the light worked, but no water.
