I'm trying to make a quick test map in which I have placed a light_enviroment,info_player_counterterrorist and info_player_terrorist but when I went into css it told me that there are no CT nor T spawn points Do I need something else!?

Help appreciated.

You shouldn't NEED a player start for a CS:S map, but its probably worth putting one in. As for it saying you had no T and CT spawns, are you definate it was running the right map / right version of the map? It may well be the case that you didn't have these entities one version in the past and its still the version in your cstrike/maps folder, either because you haven't copied a newer version across or because a newer version didn't compile correctly.

Actually, I've had this problem too. I just made a box with a info_player_terrorist in it. When testing the map I couldn't join the terrorists.

That's weird, because I've done the same thing, Otz, and it has worked just fine [addsig]

Isn't really clear to me now ... what do you need ?

- Boxed Room
- Light
- and which entities ? (both T and CT spawn, or just an info_player_start ?)

T and CT spawn, you don't need an info_player_start. Make sure the spawn entities aren't falling inside a brush, as this will make them invalid.

Look at the console when your map loads; if there are major problems (like no spawn entities) it will usually give you some sort of clue.

Also, you don't *need* a light source; if there isn't any your map should load fully lit (at least mine do).

But it's quite fullbright then, isn't it ? I hate that. (even in boxes.)

Devniall is correct make sure you place the ct/t spawns up high enough (apox 32 units for me at least). If your still having problems, are you running bsp? [addsig]

Terrorist's starting point is info_player_deathmatch and CT's starting point is info_player_start.

Um...that's for the original counter-strike, not CS: S.

Wonder why they didn't give those entities a better form, like in ol' CS. That would've been easier.

It works for me with just:

-Terrorist spawn

-Buyzone

I've gotten away with as little as a brush to act as a floor and a CT or T spawn point. No more necessary, though much more recommended.

How do I make a buy zone and hostage rescue zone?

My hostages dont follow the CT's either, they say they will, but they just stand there like idiots.

Brett - the buyzones, hostage rescue and bomb zones are all brush-based. You need to create a brush in Hammer and then click on "tie to entity" and choose the appropriate entity from the list, which will be under func_xxxxx.
