hammer sdk problems with props

[mrkool]

ok i know a bit about hammer and entitys, i have recently finished my new zombie map but i was just going to add in the drinking machines when it crashes, i select prop_static or prop_physic_multiple >>>> double click it >>>>>> select world model >>>>> then it opens a new page and then crashes, its done this ever since the new updates please could you help me?

You might have chosen the wrong prop type. I've found that if you don't use the right prop type it won't appear when you compile. This was pre the most recent up date so I don't know what it would do now. Mainly to mine not even loading

I'd keep trying different prop types until you get one that works. The overide might do the trick.

no i mean my props all work well the ones of ive got i mean liek when i press broswe on world model my hammer crashes :/

Ah I see. Hmmm...maybe the prop in question is corrupt? It trys to access the file, or list of files, can't for some reason and crashes?
S'all I can think of to be honest.

so how could i fix this problem cause it is not only me, my firend makes maps and his doens not work either, i was thinking if it was another problem from that new patch ?

A clean install maybe? Backup the map files, uninstall hl2/steam and then reinstall and update.

Might be the new patch/update though. Mine has been completely buggered since then. I asked on the Steam support but I've had no reply
