hammer editor

The application has very from rate. Doing anything like navigating or make brushes is laggy. How can it be fixed?

what i mean is how would you make a func_movelinear that starts at the bottom, goes (for example 300 hammer units) higher in a straight line, stays for a second or two, then ends up at the coordinates where it started?

I've been mapping for 5 months now, so I have a basic understanding of what I'm supposed to do, but I've never came across an problem this confusing. I have a decently sized map right now near completion, and I didn't exactly compile it to test in game in a while, so I thought, "Hmmmm, Maybe I...

(I am completely new to this, and have absolutely no experience in map making whatsoever. Please disregard anything stupid I say.) So, I made a block, chose a texture, and hit enter. The block did not get a new texture, it just went from a blue frame to yellow. help

This pack adds the "tf" tag to all of TF2's material files that are missing it, as well as both "tf" and "dev" keywords to few dev textures. To install it, place it in steamapps/common/Team Fortress 2/tf/custom

It's not a real map, and I have a semi-recent backup, so it's not the end of the world if I can't get it back. But I'd like to try. What I was making was a library of all the SFM props. I got the full pack from MaxofS2D, and was going alphabetically through of all the props, deleting all of the...

Once I was finished editing my map last night I saved and went to bed. When I got home today, I decided I'd do some more editing and it turned out that my map wouldn't open... "BasePolyForPlane: no axis". I tried looking up what this fatal error meant, and apparently I had to edit some line of...

So i want to make my viewports bigger, because how its now i cant really work. I have it now like this: https://imgur.com/a/Luhj3 But i want it kinda like this: https://imgur.com/a/ShF4h Any ideas?

I decided to play around with the I/O system and discovered something strange: Sentries, teleporters, stickies, etc can't seem to activate triggers. Does anyone know if it is possible to get them to do this, and if so, how?

Hello everyone. I'm pretty new to Hammer and been making little maps and stuff like that. But I've heard of 3d skyboxes, watched a few vids on em, and still have no idea what it is or how to set it up. Anyone got any ideas?

How do/can people both work on the same map in hammer? Sort of like a Google Document where both people can work on it at the same time. Just wondering if it is possible, if so I would love to know how, seeing as I haven't found anything online for it.

You know how when you launch hammer it asks you to pick a game configuration? (example: "Half-Life" or "Team Fortress 2") Well for me it isn't showing either. Instead it says that hammer is missing game configurations and asks me to manually set one up. I didn't have to do this when I first...

i just checked my compile log on interlopers and it says that an entity is leaked. if i remove that entity and compile + check the compile log again, there is another error which says that a certain entity is leaked. it seems like they are all leaked. what did i do wrong? they are completely...

While making a map in hammer, if i go to far away from a prop (static) it becomes a blank box, but when i go near it again, it returns to being viewed as a prop. Is there any way I can make it so it is contantly viewed as a prop? Thanks

Long story short, I was turning some things into func_details to speed up my map when this happened. I've turned the displacement back ToWorld, but I still get this error. Any help would be really appreciated. ** Executing... ** Command: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team...
