Most objects for which player collision is gameplay relevant should be made a prop_multiplayer. Some smaller prop-models seem to have bad multiplayer settings or so and must be turned into a normal prop_physics (non-multiplayer) instead. Then they behave correctly again.


Why snark works.

Also, make sure that no props are intersecting each other, as this always causes odd results.

I've found some models don't appear if they are "prop_static",
I have to make them "prop_physics" with the flag "motion disabled" checked.
Sometimes "prop_physics_override" works well too, but I think
that is mainly for custom models.

Yeah, some props just don't work as "static" (if they don't have $staticprop defined in their .qc file or something). In that case you either prop_physics or prop_physics_multiplayer.

The poster's issue about prop_physics_multiplayer on small objects - reaper47 is right. A lot of small objects like plants or paint buckets are not grabbable with the gravity gun in prop_physics_multiplayer mode, and as well they seem to dislike colliding with any other physics props. For these particular small props you'll need to make them prop_physics.
