Summary0005988: Unable to select func_emitter with particle attached
DescriptionI'm seeing some odd behaviour with func_emitter entities, depending on the chosen particle.

With ea001_etherfog_low.prt, the entity jumps around when you try to move it with translate, and then becomes impossible to select. It also seems to move position if you reopen the map. Also, with this particle if you try to select other things that surround the entity like nearby walls, they will only be partially highlighted or the face will not be highlighted, as if an invisible particle effect from the func_emitter is obscuring them. It makes it difficult to work with the entity and the surrounding area.

With sparks_wires_oneshot.prt, if you hide the entity the cube-shaped outline disappears, but the particle effect stays visible. (see 0006061)

I quickly tried chimney_smoke1.prt and it seemed OK, but I haven't tried any others.
Steps To Reproduceea001_etherfog_low.prt:

1. Create a new map and add a func_emitter to it
2. Give the func_emitter the ea001_etherfog_low.prt particle by setting it in the model spawnarg.
3. Try to translate the entity, and note that the entity position jumps around a bit.
4. On deselect, try to select it again. I should become impossible to select, even when using shift + mouse drag. You might have to try it a couple of times.
5. Save the map, then re-open. The entity might be in a slightly different position than when you saved it, but you should be able to select it again.
6. If you have brushes nearby and try to select them, they might not be fully highlighted


greebo: This second problem is already covered by 0006061:
sparks_wires_oneshot.prt:

1. Create a new map and add a func_emitter to it
2. Give the func_emitter the sparks_wires_oneshot.prt particle by setting it in the model spawnarg
3. hide the entity and observe that the cube disappears but the sparks remain.
Additional InformationThe attached screenshot shows what happens when you select brushes nearby the func_emitter with the ea001_etherfog_low.prt particle . Only the outline of the selected brush is showing, instead of the face. Also note the window - only half of the glass texture is being shown.

The second problem has been covered by 0006061 in the meantime, so I'll only address the first described selection problem in the course of this issue.
On a related note, I prefer not to mix problems into one single tracker entry (even though I understand it's more convenient for reporters). I like to keep separate problems in separate tracker entries, it makes it much easier for me during development.

The selection problem is now fixed, this was due to the box being rendered with some offset to the actual origin (where the selection test was performed).
As for the described overlay effects, this is a rendering interference I'm probably not going to be able to solve without turning off particle rendering completely for the non-lighting camera preview.

Details Diff
0005988: The RenderableBox renderable should take the local bounds origin into account, it's not always located at 0,0,0.
(This is related to a change in 0005968.) The visible Entity Boxes are not necessarily centered at the value of their origin key, they are offset using editor_mins and editor_maxs vectors that are not necessarily symmetric.
