----------------------------
Also I have another problem when ever I go to compile maps I always have to put the bsp file in manually into my maps folder. I had to recentetly start doing this. I never used to do this. Yes I've checked that the paths are correct.
-------------------------------------------------
I have one last question. When ever I make an elevator the button that I use to activate the elevator moves in a dirrection for about 10 seconds stops then my elevator starts going up.
--------------------------------------------------
Also where can I get a boost or air lift entity like on surf_ski 2 or surf_ski.
--------------------------------
Also how can I make transparent glass, I know how to make glass but you cant see through it. I've looked for a texture but cant find it.
-------------------------------------
Also where can I find how to make vehicles, I've looked on google but cant find anything.
-----------------------------------------
This is an awp map so how can I make it so that they can only use awps and pistols and can't buy anything.

Those errors are usually caused by incorrect vertex manipulation.
Start with pressing Alt+P in Hammer, that will show a error-report for your map and hopefully those brush-errors will appear, then its just a matter of pressing the "fix all of type"-button until you don't got any errors left when pressing Alt+P. Otherwise you'll need to find and delete the brushes manually(Ctrl+Shift+G).



Create a brush and cover it with any texture(hopefully a glass-texture), select the brush and press Ctrl+T, select func_breakable in the dropdown-list, set "Render Mode" to "Texture" and "FX Amount" to 100(you can experiment yourself with this value, it controls the transparency, 100 is a good start though). (If you don't want the glass to break turn the brush into a func_wall instead but use the same properties as I used for the func_breakable)

For the errors easiest way to get rid of them is just in hammer and going to MAP > Go To Brush Number > and type either 20, 21, 22 and then delete them, cuz thats why your getting that error.



1.) Double check your paths, it should work fine if there correct...

2.) Not sure

3.) Trigger_push, if its going up then select the UP direction and make sure the speed is more then 800. Also the Brush must be the length you want it to push you up.

4.) Do you want the glass to break? If so then make the brush a Func_breakable, go to properties and make the material type, glass, make the render mode: Texture - Some Light. Change the FX Amount to how transparent you want it to be Number 1, is almost invisible 250 is solid. Make it 150, thats what i use. And lastly put a glass looking texture on it..

5.) make a brush Func_vehicle. Its hard to make a good car.

6.) Make a Brush outside of the map, somewhere were players cant reach and make the brush a func_buyzone. This will disable players from buying weapons. To make them spawn with guns make a Entity called Game_player_equip, in its properties you choose what weapons they start with and how many bullets,,,

Placing an entity outside a map will cause a leak. Place it in a place where players can't reach it instead(eg near the roof/sky).

May give u a little error at compiling but its no biggy, you can still play the map...

Ah, sorry, guess you're right, you can place brush-entities outside the map and it won't produce a leak. I wouldn't recommend it though..
