No such thing. Although you can make a black rope using keyframe_rope ents. Look at the SDK sample map that comes with the SDK.

Oh is it possible to import the chain from far cry? I want it to be for a drawbridge :/

Also how do i stop items from being unselectable. When i go far
away sometimes the items appear like the winding stair case, then when
i go up close it cant be selected! i cant figure out what to do.

No such thing.
As a matter of fact, I accidentally came across a certain
cable/chain.vmt while browsing through the HL2 textures. Maybe you
could make a rope, like omega said, and use this as it's material?

Not sure what your asking here.

But there are no chains in half life 2, but there are black ropes

Andrei - I have come across the chain material as well. I have even so
much as made a test map wit the material applied to the keyframe_rope
ent, but I got no results, as the rope didn't appear in game.

When i go to certain blocks only a few meters away they disappear and
you cant select them. Its as if they arent even there. When
I move far away they re appear but you cannot select them. Whats
wrong with these blocks?

make a new material that looks like a chain and works on the rope entity. that would rock, too.
