props disapearing

[Dangles7]

what is the deal w/ this? i have random props that feel like they don't want to show up when i compile. i've tried using all types of props but they still seem to not show up once i run the map... any ideas?

I've had some problems in the past with that as well, I found that if i use prop_static, or prop_physics_mutliplayer, they always show up as expected. Watch out for intersections with displacements too though, sometimes they get fussy with that.

Sometimes you have to do props_physics_override, to get em to work.

There'll be an error in the BSP portion of the log or the console in-game if you used the wrong type of prop. Check the fade distances, too: start should be -1, end should be 0.

i made sure the start and end were right so that's not the problem... usually its chairs and radio's that have a hard time showing up, player models also.

i did try the physics overide but i don't like the way that works... i don't want things bouncing around like that.

TBH Its probably your Start Fade Distance. This should be -1, and your End Fade Distance should be 0.

This is on your object when you press Alt+Enter.
