hammer

Apologies for the long post. First time poster to these fourms just because I can't seem to find help elsewhere. I've gotten an itch to make maps. Problem is, right now all I have acess to is a Mac laptop. It's capable of running Source games (albeit at low settings) and things of the like...

In hammer when i try to model something the window i am using begins to glitch out and start moving the box around and it starts flashing with another window on top resulting in the program being unusable and impossible to work with. An answer or fix would be greatly appreciated thank you

I've been using a relative's computer recently in lieu of my own. Unfortunately, I developed a mapping itch a few days ago. I don't want to download the ~15 GB of files needed to run Steam and Team Fortress just so I can use Hammer, so I'm looking for a standalone version. I don't need to run...

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...

how fix this shit ? ( this not models ( func_detail )

Hello guys, I wonder how to create a Golden Frying Pan entity in hammer, i cant find this model and changing normal frying pan skin doesnt change anything, can you help me?

Call me a 9-year-old, but I used to create a ton of half-finished games with Roblox Studio. It was incredibly easy to use and I picked up Lua pretty quickly. Ever since I started trying (and failing) to make maps with Hammer, I've wished there was some alternative so my lazy ass wouldn't have to...

In my map I have a ball that players can run up and hit it with their melee and it sends the ball flying. I want to make it so the ball kills players that it hits.

I'm having a problem with logic_cases. I am having a logic case that is selecting blocks at random then breaking them. Sometimes the case reselects blocks that have already been broken.

I am trying to make a spinning object in hammer that will push players that block it. So far I have only found ways to make brushes spin, but when they collide into a player it just passes right through them. I have tried using a func_rotating aswell and I have tried using func_physbox + phys_motor.

(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

I am completely new to this, I have no experience of map making at all. So I started with looking for the batch file and Hammer.exe. However, the problem is, when I open them from File Explorer, they start with no problems. However, when I make to shortcut on the desktop and try and start them...

As the title suggests, I've been having a problem where Hammer would end up freezing up my entire computer everytime I try to compile a map. It hasn't started doing this when I first began development on the map, and I know for certain it isn't Hammer just being hammer because the program has...

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

How do I fix the black on this block? Its only this side that is black, doing min light .1 or more effects the entire block and its only the side that is doing this.

I'm trying to make it like darts are going back and forth in a loop. Ive had it in other maps before but I wasn't the one who made it do that and I no longer have access to help from that person. It goes to the path_1_b I want it to contentiously go from path_1_a to path_1_b and have a...

I have recently installed the frontline pack for my map but while trying to copy and paste these props an error sign shows, indicating that these haven't been installed. I have unzipped frontline_supply_drop_v1.2 in C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\bin\Tf2Maps (Tf2Maps is...

So on a previous thread I had created, I mentioned wondering how I would create a DJ room inside my map. Basically by this I mean, making a room with func_buttons in it that would activate a bunch of ambient_generics that would play music around the whole map. I tossed this idea to the side for...
