My problem has to do with info_player_starts not showing up in hammer. I select the entity tool. I scroll to info_player_start. I click it into one of the 2D windows and I select create object, but the entity isn't created. Any ideas?

It would seem that right clicking to "Create object" doesn't work, just press Enter instead.

Thanks Lep that did it. I always make entities by right clicking and selecting create object. Hmm wonder why it doesn't do it now. [addsig]

Just tried yours Orph and it works when I left-click in the 3D window, but its a hit or miss if your trying to specificly place it somewhere. So should you both be marked right? [addsig]

dunno, but methinks being so quick on the draw is defeating our system.

as for the playerstart being misplaced, at least its in the map now, you can always move it.

i mean, my way may not be exact, but its in there right?

Er, well yeah you can create them by clicking on a solid object in the 3D window. But you asked why "create object" wasn't working

Personally I only place decals and overlays by clicking in the 3D window, as most other things will need moving around to get right in the 2D windows anyway- may as well get it right from the start!
