Problem with a static prop

[Demos]

I'm trying to compile a map that has a static prop entity using the lab freigh elevator model ("models/props_lab/freightelevator.mdl")

Its not rendering it and keeps providing this message in the compile log:

"Error! To use model "models/props_lab/freightelevator.mdl"
with prop_static, it must be compiled with $staticprop!"

I've been workin just with Hammer, what else do I need to do to get this prop to display correctly?

are you sure its a static prop? Try changing it to a prop_physics and see if that works.

I assume it's meant to be a prop_dynamic.

 

[Deleter]

yeah, my only point was that if it doesn't work as one prop type, try using the others before posting that it doesn't work.

Too bad there isn't a prop_static_override like for dynamic and physics, so you could make it static anyway.

yeah, I was thinking that before. I wonder if the flag 'disable motion' on a prop_physics etc. would make it like a static.

It would. It's used on radiators, among others.

It would. It's used on radiators, among others.

But is it also taken into account by RAD in that case then?

Sorry, I thought I had tried all the other prop types, but I guess I just missed dynamic. Thanks guys.
