prop_detail errors

When ever I put a prop_detail in my map and go to test it the model shows up in game as a big flashing ERROR does this happen for anyone else? Can anyone help me?

does it give you any errors in console? something about unlit surfaces or something....

i had that problem the solution i found was using prop_static instead

If the game can't find the model it wants then I think it does this (I remember trying to make a vending machine/canister in CS:S beta way back and getting this same problem). Do other models do the same thing, or is it just this one?

Also, why are you using a prop_detail? Don't! Use a prop_static or something else.

Never use detail_prop for placing props. You need static props. Detail
props are for specific small models which are placed automatically on
some textures.

prop_details are automatically placed when you do a displacement surface, they are the grass sprites. If you are using a model you use a prop_static, or a prop_dynamic (if it has animations)
