Hi guys,

I just wanted to ask few things regarding energy balls (High Energy Pellet), launcher and props placement;

1.) I've accidently deleted the Full path directory under Model Browser menu (where you select your prop to place - dynamic/static, etc), so every object I select appears as "Error", how do write/place the directory in the "Full Path" as you can't select/type in the box? Any idea what the directory is? is this it - c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\djcj128uk\sourcesdk\bin\orangebox\portal\models\props\ ?

2.) Before having this prop placement issue, I was going though energy ball launcher tutorial - http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Creating_an_energy_ball_launcher_and_catcher - and when I'm setting up for outputs for the ball and launcher you can't select "SetAnimation" under "Target input" under "ball_launcher" for "Target Entity" - Does know why is this? In other words, the ball launcher doesn't animate when it shots out the ball.

3.) This is way to set up the energy ball to disappear when hits certain matericals/walls? (this is for puzzle idea I have - just experimenting)

Thanks in advance for your help!

Tell a lie - I've just discovered how to re-place the full Path directory but its still saying "Error" for each prop I select and the filter isn't working either - :flail:
