Still learning the ropes of painting. But I feel like I did pretty well with capturing ttt_pizza

Trying to have these folks in my Gmod map as NPCs (or the illusion of NPCs), they're playermodel models and they don't do anything ingame except T pose or disappear, i've tried a couple different options but nothing works (Top image is in editor and bottom image is ingame)

Half Life 2 map

Uh everytime I try to spawn the player_info_position it no work and instead I get a text editor for reasons unknown for me

Help?

Well Hello, Neighbor!

First map, looking to improve. Lmk what you think of you have any feedback! :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3502686852

Any ideas on how to remove this?

Thought this was cool. Anyone know of any other in editor secrets like this? I couldn't find the entity to interact with it.

I made sure to not enable "don't run the game after compiling"

Here's the compile log:

I am making a map for combat stuff thingy or for fun, when I picked the intended song I chose from the Sound Resource Browser, but when I started clicking play, it played a different sequence. Not sure if this will be also included in the compiled map,

I am planning to test it after I finished up the layout of the map, but I am asking before I test it

If there's any confusion from this statement please asked me, thanks!!!!!

I heard that stuff really need to stick to the grid. if they wont, the decompiling can take longer or just have some errors

first time doing cave displacements

Akrop is my first proper CS2 Wingman map, created as a Wingman map heavily inspired by the Greek island of Santorini. The map is built around the contrast between the bright white architecture of the island, narrow streets, and the ancient Akropolis sitting high above the town.

Thought this was cool never seen anything like this on other map files yet. Any other maps from other games this happens on? Tried finding the entity to interact with it but couldn't find it.

I posted some progress pictures of this map not too long ago. I wanted to create a nice atmosphere with this map, and I hope y'all will check it out! Thanks.

I've been thinking about making a custom flying vehicle through Hammer for a gmod map (so it should be multiplayer-friendly).

I swear there was a Counter-Strike: Source map I played years ago that was either an mg or fy map with a rudimentary sci-fi theme that had flying vehicles in which you press one of two buttons in them with different control schemes, you go into T-pose (lol) and your WASD keys move the vehicle.

I swear this isn't from a fever dream lmao. But TL;DR: I'm hoping to do the same but with mouselook for steering if that's even possible, then the WASD keys can be freed up entirely for forward/back/left/right acceleration. Also a third-person camera with point_viewcontrol_multiplayer but I think I can figure that out already.

i have a map that ive made on blender, now the issue is i want to port it to hammer, now is there anything i can do to make my life easier? to get the proportions right and stuff, i understand i can just go the painful way and just try to eyeball it as much as i can but is there a shortcut or an easier alternative that anyone knows? thank you

Hello, I need tips for optimization for the map i have made last year. I want to make a new one but wanted to optimize this one first in order to not do the same mistakes. I am going to start with applying nodraw and func_detail first but i don't think those are the core of the problem. I have done some research and some tutorials suggest "area portals" and "hint"s. Since it is a prop_hunt map i wanted to know if using them would cause a problem or not. Map is quite open and has shit ton of windows.

As of now the main issue i see is that before each round, the game freezes quite a bit.

I can share the map url as well if needed, don't want to seem like i am promoting the map or smth
