Objectsfall...?

ok i set up prop_physics_multiplayer, and i used a gate, and set them
up and when i start up a map they just fall streight to the floor, but
oddly the sodamachine that is already on the floor just falls over... i
got a few screen shots...

In the properties of the model, go to the flags section and select
"start asleep" if you want them to stay still until the player bumps
into them or blows them up. If you want them to only move for the
gravity gun, select "motion disabled" and "enable motion on gravity gun
pickup".

OR if you NEVER want them to move, you can make them a Prop_static.

BTW, if you could tell me which sky texture that is that has a big sad
face in it, that'd be cool. I'm going to use that for my next map.

thank you both so much...the texture is "toolsskybox" and i have one more question,for the
cameras, how do i make it so the tv is bigger, i just have it like at
15x15, and i want it to be alot bigger... looky

use the "select face tool" and select one side and click the FIT button. that will make the tex as large as the box it is on. PLZ mark some correct answers.

sorry i am relitivly new to hammer, whare do i find the selct face tool???

theres alot of useful info there and its often overlooked

It's a very useful thing to memorize all the keyboard shortcuts in the beginning. It really speeds up mapping.

Some of the most useful ones:

Shift-S: select

Shift-A: texture application

Shift-E: entity

Shift-B: brush

Shift-X: clip tool

Shift-V: vertex tool

If that's all you can remember, that'll still save you loads of time in the long run. There are plenty more. Also, I found the preset zoom settings (chosen by pressing the number keys on top of the keyboard) and Ctrl-E (center select object in all 2D views) extremely useful.

ok, but i still cant find the selct facetool, what is it? i lookd on that site and i cant find it...

what is this, lets see just how many questions we can cram into one thread before an admin arrives?

most of this is searchable, PLEASE use it as it was intended.

5LUG, there is a menu in Hammer called "help" (at the top of the screen, if you need, er, help). I suggest you use it before asking any more questions here.
