All I wanted to do was see how things are so far. I quickly put together a skybox, setup a light_enviroment, and clicked run. Only to see the game just close upon loading the map. Here's the log: ** Executing... ** Command: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress...

I'm currently working on a CTF map where every 3 minutes a event will happen and then it ends after 3 minutes (and then it repeats), How do i do? Do i use logic_timers or is there better methods?
