Adding Objects

[Trab123]

How do i add objects i am looking for a couch do i put an entity in?

 

[Ranga]

you put in a prop_physics, then go properties, world model, and choose couch. then move it around and place it places where it falls on people

What Ranga forgot to mention was that prop_static is what you'll want to use for most of your modelprops... Prop_physics is really good and fun but it'll put stress on networking if you put too many in, and loads of them in one area usually means a masslagg server, or buggy behaviour, so you should try and be sparse with them.

The rest are special in some way, you can read up on them either in the official VALVe documentations or at www. hl 2 world.com

I wasn't trying to pick on you, Ranga, I just wanted Trab123 to have all the info he might need. I didn't want him to get confused and create traps for himself.

Check your fade distances, start = -1 and end = 0 for all of your models.

[Dead-Inside]

Whoa, I have no idea. But you should look over at hl2 world.com, they list all weapons (HL2DM and CSS) aswell.

weapon_ar2, weapon_frag, ...

If you want to place a SLAM you'll need to download a new FGD:
