I am trying to make a map where oil drums are thrown into the air with a trigger_push entity this works just fine, the oil drums (I use a prop_physics_respawnable entity for this) fly into a wall but does not explode. I have used the correct model, because when I pick it up and throw it with the gravity gun it explodes. Ideas anyone? [addsig]

A trigger_hurt infront of the wall which gives 100 damage to it. In the flags, tick the box "Physics Objects" and make sure clients are not ticked or else eveyone would die who touched the trigger.

Or give the drums a name such as "drum" and make a trigger infront of the wall called "trigger_multiple". In the outputs tab make it like this:

My output named: OnStartTouch
Targets entities named: drum
Via this input: Kill or Break or Ignite

Play around a bit

This is of course a solution, but why does the drum not react as if it was a player that threw it with the gravity gun? [addsig]

How does my idea not work? You wanted it to explode on impact??

Either because they're not thrown with the same velocity as your trigger_push, or there is a special model-specific property telling it to only break on Grav gun interaction (or shooting, or other explosions).

Also, the dm_lockdown barrels have a physics impact damage scale set to 0.1, tried that?

There do seem to be a lot of issues with respawning breakable props such as exploding barrels. For example, to begin with a barrel will explode if it is within close proximity of another explosion, but AFTER it has respawned it will no longer do this but will instead be sent flying by the blast. Also, if you shoot an explosive barrel it will initially take a few hits and then explode. After respawning, it will die on the first hit from any gun.

They are set to physics impact damage scale 0.1, but nothing happens the way I planned it. Increasing velocity does not help either... [addsig]
