(HAMMER) prop_static not showing in game.

Your map is leaking, make sure it's completely sealed before debugging or see if that fixes the problem entirely.

It would appear to me that your map isn't sealed. Displacements don't seal maps.

Like iibo said, displacements cannot be used to seal the map. Only solid brushes which are not tied to entities and have not been converted into displacements can seal the map. Anything else might as well not exist when it comes to sealing leaks.

The most common method of keeping the map sealed while displacements are being used is by placing a world brush textured with nodraw underneath the displacement.

personally i'd recommend disabling all entities on the visgroups tab, to make it bit easier to see whats causing the leaks if you have bunch of func_details or other brush-entities blocking the sight

Visgroup tab can be found by default on the right, under the texture browser

But brush-entities as name implies are brushes that are now entities , for a list of (all/most) brush-entites id' recommend taking' a gander at the valve dev wiki's page about it https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Category:Brush_Entities

Yes, permission to faceplam but what exactly is a "brush-entity" i think I can figure by the name, but just for clarification.

In the Source engine, an entity is an object that can do special things. The things an entity does depend on what kind of entity it is, and there's a wide range of features that entities may have: from moving, to displaying special stuff in the game (ie text), to casting light, and more. All moving objects are entities: Players, weapons, projectiles, hats, payloads, and more are all entities. Control points are also entities. Some entities are invisible, and instead just do behind-the-scenes stuff, like managing logic for a gamemode. Most entities can move, but not all. Some entities need to be placed by mappers (ie control points), while other entities are created automatically by TF2 (ie players). In contrast to entities, there is also the world, which is all of the nonmoving, unspecial geometry in your map: walls, floors, ceilings, beams, windows, rocks, and more. The brushes that make up the world are called world geometry. Some entities, such as static props and func_detail, are also considered part of the world since they do not move, but they also do not seal the map.

Entities are divided into two categories: Brush entities and point entities. The difference is simple: Brush entities are made up of one ore more brushes, while point entities are not composed of brushes. Any brush that is part of a brush entity is sometimes referred to as being tied to the entity. As stated above, neither point entities nor brush entities are capable of sealing the map.

"Visgroups tab", where and how can I locate that.

Visgroups are located... Nevermind Beta beat me to it

Technically, the static geometry is an entity too. It's class name is worldspawn. It's the entity that you get if you try to look up an entity without specifying a name.
