as any cat owner knows, they take great pride in strutting across your keyboard pressing all but the buttons that dont do anything!

well either way, i think i have had a shortcut hit that turns off selecting entitys and grouped objecs as they are suposed to, for example.

My trigger_push when i double click on it, it shows the same window as if you double click a brush with no entitys tied to it.

Second example.

If i click on brushes that i had grouped before the cat incedent, they select one by one instead of as a whole brush, i know they are stil grouped because 1 they are different colours to the other things i grouped and 2 il explain on my third example.

my func_doors and func_physbox(s) are no longer selecting like example two but when i go to the entity gallery they are all still listed and when i select the entity from the list, it selects all the brushes as a group again ?

anyone know how to help. i know i explained what is going on well but if you want me to explain further i supose i could scream someware else so you dont heer and try <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

Well, as for the groups, check the upper right hand portion of the hammer window. There should be three boxes "Group" "Objects" and "Solids". Most of the time you want to have "Groups" checked.

If you check objects, it will select each brush as individuals (or sub-groups), it's very useful.

Checking solids will make it so, no matter how many level of grouping there are, it selects individual brushes.


As for your entity problem ... I don't know, that's weird. The only thing I can think of is that a large portion of the map was selected and "Ctrl + Shift + W" got pressed. Which is the Move to world command. That would make any brush based entities turn into normal brushes ...

In any case the easiest thing to do would either be use an old save ... or go back through re-doing the entities.

But ... that still sounds sketchy. Try compiling the map and seeing if all the entities work.

[EDIT]

... Nevermind, Natus is correct.
Never knew about that thing!


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

sounds like you got the "ignore" button checked, simply uncheck it by pressing it.

That's why they made the CTRL+ALT+DEL "shortcut" so complicated...

See? Micro$oft cares.

The toggle groups shortcut is CTRL-W. I know this well, because I use W a lot to move around in the 3D view and CTRL a lot to do multiple selections, and too god damned often I find I've hit both together and turned off group selection. So annoying - wish I could just disable f**king shortcuts I don't need.
