I need a lot of help with this

http://www.filefence.com/viewtopic.php?p=1366#1366

See the list there.

The big issue thats hanging over my head is that physics objects don't
appear. Its not that they're invisible - there not f**king there! This
has been going on for quite a while now and its driving me crazy. It
doesn't occur in HL2 or old (and crap) maps, it doesn't affect static
or dynamic props, so why now?
Arghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rant over. Help, please?

Certain models are built and compiled to be used as a specific prop
type, such as prop_dynamic, prop_physics, or prop_static. If you
specify the wrong type in Hammer, then the game automatically REMOVES
them upon loading.

Run HL2 with -dev and -console. When loading your map, look in the console for error messages like "ERROR! prop_wasteland/prison_bed.mdl has propdata so it must be used as a prop_physics! Removed!" or something like that.

To get around this, you can use a prop_physics_override. That way, you
can use any model as a physics object, but it might act strangely
(float in midair, etc.)

Trust me - I'm using physics objects - crab cannisters, destroyed
apcs*, cars* etc. Did you miss a pile of crab cannisters at the back,
and one on / under the bridge?

Actually, some are working and some aren't. Its the big ones (like the
cars and bit of combine helicopters that aren't working. Small stuff -
ie barrels / sawblades

• Included in other maps but not working

I beleive crab canisters are static (or dynamic). Destroyed APCs and most cars would be too. I think the physics cars are ragdolls actually. Barrels and sawblades are physics objects, so theyll work.

If this is in fact your problem, therell be red error messages in your console.

Post the compile log, this sounds like a leak to me! Also the citizens
shouldnt follow path corners, but rather assult paths, the apc and
helicopter etc. follow paths, basicaly anything that walks should use
assults (plus its more realistic)

Thanks on the paths / assualts info

make sure that the objects arent intersecting anything and that the radius hasnt been modified. i acutally find that when i have many physics objects right next to eachother i have to reduce the radius on all of them to a point where i cant see it

omega - according to the assualt tut thats here, only the combine can assualt

Its anyone with legs, citizens can follow paths also (even zombies!). Dont know why the tut says that, but its not true.

Posting And You

It was probably fixed in an update sent out after it was written

Its shows problems when you load the map, not in the compile log... Check for red lines of text when you load in the console.
