Glossary Entry: Clipping Error
Definition
This refers to a situation in a game where an object appears to be passing through another object, such as the leaves of a plant in the next room sticking through your side of the wall.
The term comes from the fact that the objects are clipping - passing through each other - unintentionally. Occasionally, it's possible for players to interact with the parts that are visible, even when the other object should be in the way.
