i need moveble props hou i do that?

ps: nice video

[Vaatrad]

You need to use the prop_physics, or prop_physics_override, entity with models that work with physics prop types (you can check this in the model viewer).

I have a problem with props not showing up in my map after I compile. I have a few chairs which are prop_physics, and a few prop_statics which won't show up. :S

[Vaatrad]

Check in the model viewer that the model you are using works for the prop type. If that isn't the problem try setting Start Fade Dist to "-1" and End Fade Dist to "0".

I have a problem. Little bit off-topic, but I have no idea, how to fix it, so I count on your help.

I made a prop_physics model in 3ds max, using Cannonfodders' StudioCompiler.

That was my first prop_physics model based on my prop_static compatible model.

Going to Hammer, make prop_physics, filtered to the model name, VGUI model browser crashed...

Enter the model name into the textbox, starting the game, it worked, but I got an error:

Oh, great, I found tutorial 1-11! These tutorials are excellent!

@JeromeRulez Delete them and readd. Also make sure you have no leaks in your map.
