I was reading a tutorial on using the cycler_sprite, here;

http://www.slackiller.com/tutorials/tutorials/addingmodelsintocs.htm

The tutorial says I need to place a cycler_sprite and the I should go to its properties window & scroll down to the "sprite line".
I tried that but I scroll down and there is NO "sprite line". What's the problem? Do I need to use a special version of Hammer or do I need to install something? I'm using the Hammer Editor version 3.4

May be called "Model / Sprite" depending on your fgd. They're talking about the entry where you're supposed to enter the filepath to your model.

Unfortunently there is no 'Model/Sprite' either. Do I need to download any updates or something? What version of Hammer do you use?

You need to update your fgd.

Well, thank you, it worked!

Yet there is another problem: I brought up the Object Properties window and I clicked on "Model / Sprite", then I selsected my model and I closed the Properties window.
But the model doesn't show up! After I close the window the model doesn't appear! It remains as a purple box.

Why is that? Does anyone know how to fix this?

It will show as a purple box either until you move closer with the Hammer camera or it won't change at all, only showing as a model ingame. Dunno which (it's the "move closer" behaviour in the Source version of Hammer).

I move closer witht the camera but it doesn't make any difference.

It's very confusing.

then give the path to the model(and i mean not model/modelname but c:/counterstrike/model)
then it will show how the model looks and u r able to place it, then just change the model name to the correct path

Pretty much like I said then.
