Hey everyone,

A few quick questions I've run into in my short time back to map making. I'm working on a CS:S map.

1) I put together a simple light with a button switch, but I'm not seeing many options for switch models. I tried filtering for both "button" and "switch" but didn't see many choices. Could somebody tip me off what the very basic light switch model is named?

2) In game I've found two problems. I can't use the flashlight or spray paint onto any surface. What would fix this?

Thanks everyone.

I appreciate that, but I remember there being a really simple one already in the sdk. the standard one that is a small rectangle with a smaller rectangle inside of it.

that one you mention is actually a decal i think, as such it has no entity properties, you will still have to use func_button on_pressed outputs to your named light
