Ok i read the tutorial and everything on how to make my static props visible whenever i run my map. And i have done exactly everything it has said. But for some reason my static props still do not show up. But whenever i switch the prop to dynamic and render it as normal it works just fine. But i cant have X amount of all dynamic props. I am very new to hammer so i am sure its something i am missing. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks

Well to be honest i downloaded your prop library and i copy and pasted several of the spytech props such as the computer chair and the desk. Pretty much alot of the props from your library and i left the setting exactly how you had them but for some reason they still would not show up whenever i ran the map

I'm curious... I made a fully enclosed map and the leak is the prop. Whenever i move the prop the leak changes coordinates with my prop. Is there some setting where i can set like map bounds because the prop is in my spawn room.

If you have a leak, then the map isn't fully enclosed. Load your map's pointfile (Map->Load Pointfile, hit OK) and a red line will trace from the prop to the void, passing through the leak at some point. If it apppears to go through a brush, check that it isn't a func_detail or a displacement.

ok yea i did that and turns out it is a func_detail. What should i be using instead so that it seals my map ?

Just stick a non-displacement world brush (as in, the normal brush before you turn it into an entity) where the Pointfile shows where the leak goes.

ok im going to come off as a huge noob but i have no clue how to place a non-displacement world brush. I made a cube full of no_draw and it said i still have a leak...

My friend i have done that and it works...whenever i have a hollow cube of all nodraw and a skybox texture there is no leak...BUT and this is a big BUT...whenever i seem to add texture to my walls, and just the inside of them with the toggle texture app. so the outside is still no draw, for some reason i then have a leak. My main question is how do i go texture the ground/walls of my nodraw on the inside without having a leak ?

make a hollow cube with the skybox texture
No no no no, no and again no. That is one of the absolute worst things to do to your map.

Lunchbox - The pointfile is your friend, if you have a leak then 99.9% a pointfile will be generated. Follow it. If you still have a leak it means you had more than one in the first place. Keep sealing and checking. (you only need to run bsp to check for leaks, don't waste your time with vis and rad)

To elaborate a bit more;

When you create a brush using the brush tool, it starts out as a World brush. It can then be turned into a func_detail or other brush based entity by hitting the "To Entity" button on the right side of the interface.

Once it's an entity, it's useful for all kinds of things, but it is no longer capable of sealing your map. Neither are displacements.

The inside of your map must be 100% sealed using WORLD brushes. If you have a brush that is currently a func_detail or some other such, you can hit the "To World" button at right to turn it back.

As mentioned, the pointfile is the best way to check for leaks, but a very basic gut check you can do is to just use the 3d camera to fly outside the map. Fly around in the void looking at your map. If, from the outside, you can see ANYTHING on the inside that the players could see, that's going to be a problem. From the outside, all you should be able to see is skybox and the back side of world brushes.

If it's just a building or cliff, or something without a lot of detail and intricacy, just not make it a func_detail, or leave it as a func_detail and put a nodraw textured brush behind the func_detail. If the func_detail is too big or detailed, however, you might see performance issues.
