No, prop_physics aren't actually the guns. They are just models of the guns.

You could enclose them in an unbreakable glass case for more realism if you wanted.

LoL... ok

By the way, the gun props are in the weapons folder. And It doesn't show pictures but if you apply that prop then you can see it works.

Erm...

1. Are they physics models?

2. Look at them in hammer, are they the actual pictures of the guns? If they aren't or no picture in game loaded, try using the different versions on them, because each weapon has like a p_ model, w_model and another one.

you want to use the w_model (w stands for world), try making it a different type of prop. [addsig]

Prop_dynamic_override works for displaying weapon models as props.
And it is indeed the w_ models you want, it's a bit strange to see a pair of disembodied hands holding the weapon if you use the other kind...

1] Due to the bug in css and hammer, your guns wont seem to spawn anyway, unless they spawn directly with the player when the player spawns, The bug causes the weapons to disapear after a few seconds...
2] When the bug is fixed, the map sounds awesome, link me .

I think what he is trying to do is make weapon pickups in his level... Not sure if the FGD supports it yet, have a gander around the entities available in the FGD entity list to see if it has weapon_awm and stuff... [addsig]

Like I said, the spawned css weapons disapear as they are not supported properly yet.

im trying to get a weapon to stay still as information for which door to enter also i have solved how the weapon spawns diss appear

Step 1: Create a simple solid box around the player startpoint.

2: Go into the texture list, filter for 'trigger' and apply the 'trigger' graphic to the box.

3: Create a game_player_equip entity somewhere near the player (for easy reference)

4: Go into the properties of the game_player_equip, make sure smart edit is turned off, and proceed to add the items you want. For example, click add. The key for the new addition would be, 'item_suit' with no quotes of course. Set the value at 1. You don't want the player wearing two suits, do you? Proceed to do the same with other items you want.

Name this entity whatever you want. I just used equip.

5. Go back to the trigger box. Right click on it, and click on tie to entity. Then you have an entity box.

6. Scroll through the entity list, and make the box a trigger_once entity.

7. From there, click on the outputs tab on the top. For My Output Named, select OnTrigger. For Target Entities Named, select from the drop down list, 'equip' (or whatever you named it).

8. Apply, and you're done! Compile and run the map.

all that you need to do is place a weapon at the ground which you cannot pick up and link it to the trigger multable that when someone walks through it it kills its self so that the weapon dissappears and volah spawnable weapons..
