2 questions (One is a problem with Hammer)

[ray_MAN]

1) How would I go about making a working lighthouse light that rotates and such? This is for a DM map, by the way.

2) Hammer does not let me change from Half-Life 2 mapping to HL2: DM mapping. I select it, but the apply button is still "grayed out" and when I click OK it jsut changes back to HL2 mapping. I don't want to delete the HL2 mapping config because I still want to map for it. Please help me, someone!

1) [Just a guess...] How about a func_door_rotating ? Parent the light/spotlight to that. Just a guess.
2) I'm being breif here- not mean; But did you -download- HL2M?

Yes, I have downloaded it. I would like to mention that i had this problem when I was still mapping with CS:S before the release of HL2 SDK. Someone suggested that I delete it, and I did because I didn't fancy mapping CS:S. However, this is not the case with HL2 because I still want to map HL2. Unfortunately, I am now also having problems with running HL2DM. When I click "Find Servers" or "Start New Server" my game freezes.
The func_door_rotating won't work because it only moves upon +USE, I believe. :\

Could trigger it on a Multi, or any other I/O... But there HAS to be a better way. Like I said, it was an off the top of my head idea.

Guess I know nothing about the 2nd one then. Sorry...

for the light.. use a func_motor to rotate the bulb. and then parent your lights to the bulb.

I dunno about your second problem

Are you trying to change the game configuration in Hammer, or in the SDK launcher ? Because you need to choose the configuration on the launcher not hammer.
