• Floating upward through nonsolid func_statics: This is an issue for func_statics which are intended to be nonsolid to the player, for instance, foliage, bushes, grass, etc. If you create a func_static from a bush model, and then step into it, Doom recognizes this as a clipping problem. It attempts to correct this problem by floating you to the top of the model, and then trying to shake you off.

A simple fix for this (assuming you want the func_static to be nonsolid) is to explicitly add the key pair:

"solid" "0"
