I would like to know how to make an Antlion nest like those in Half-Life 2: Episode 1. They need to be blockable and have the dust that originates from the so called "hole".

I believe it's a combination of
-an npc_template_maker with antlions that start burrowed
-a trigger for physics props combined with a trigger that only allows the large objects in the area to trigger it (cars, large crates, etc.)

Sounds like a great idea for a prefab.

Also change the texture of the dock. Docks are rarely tile. -Facepunch

The dust is probably from env_dustpuff or env_steam. I'm not sure how they get the bugbait effect when it's blocked, though. It might be a new entity.
