I cant get my 3d skybox to work

AS you may have guessed, I cant get my 3d skybox to work properly, even though I followed the tutorials to the letter. The props in my little skybox section dont appear in the actual map, and when i face a particular direction the sky does the weird leak thing with the repeated images. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

Okay, Ive done that and this red line appears

http://i1018.photobucket.com/albums/af301/scuzgob/skyboxleak.jpg?t=1250525038

I thought the red line was supposed to go from an entity like a light and travel to the leak, but here its just sticking out the top of my skybox. Its not "inside" the map at all and its not leading anywhere. When I zoom in the line is not actually touching anything. Whats going on?

Here's my log (I compiled with VRAD & VIS on fast, not sure if that makes any difference)

copy the coordinates -> view -> go to coordinates -> paste -> enter.

That will move your 3D camera to where the leak is occurring. Trigger_hurt have a circular "centre" object that you can move around, and that being outside of your map is your problem.

Click to expand...

That was the problem, even though the trigger_hurt was inside I must have accidentally moved the little circle outside. Thanks!
