I need help. On my player destruction map, I want to make a tank that drives through the entire map and collects fuel canisters. Atleast, it runs straight through the middle of the map without turning. Now to the problem. In the Hammer, the tank is attached to the truck and the model itself is...

Are there any official A/D maps in the game where BLU's first spawnroom is disconnected? (Like 2Fort's, where it has two separate parts) The way my BLU start is set up would complement doing this, but it may cause frustration from the two halves of the team not being accessible to eachother.

Hello! Recently I got into mapping and my question is - How do you spawn bots and make them perform a certain action like the hidden bot easter egg in thunder mountain? Can you choose what action they will do? Can I select a certain class? Thanks in advance, Arkadiy. The easter egg as...

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...

So, my payload map is fully functional, except for the fact that two specific points give the blu team TWO points instead of one for a capture. This does not happen on the first point or last. Any idea why this happens? Info for capture point https://gyazo.com/e3207680faf260c8307ee2f9810a0671...

I have seen this thing in a lot of subgame maps, although I don't know what the entity is called in hammer, and I need to know. It was used in a lot of deathrun maps, such as bank (where the screenshot is from) and I was planning to use this thing in maps. If anyone knows the name of this...

I just happened upon the tf2wiki article for background01. In the article, it states that background maps are an unused feature of tf2, but entering the command map_background background01 into the console will enable it. This got me thinking, would it be possible to make a custom background...

Hello, as the title says, whenever I edit my maps in hammer editor and I get too close to the props they just disappear. I don't know what could cause this, it is a fairly new map and just has 2 stair props and a few brushes. I have compiled it once with cordon bounds enabled. here is the last...

Hello, I am a new mapper and am making a map! It is a forest map and so I copy and pasted prop_static trees all over the map (Not of the same model, mind you) and when I load the map some of the trees do not show up in game. I am sure that my red circle thing in 2D view is on the props, they...

So for a while, I've wanted to create an island based map, and the best textures I can think of using are Banana Bay's textures, I will ask for permission from the devs of the map, but in order to do so, I would need to have the textures in the first place, the only textures I'm looking to get...

Looking for anything related to it really. Stonework, windows etc. Did some brief searching but didn't find much apart from some stone railings. Anyone know of some more stuff? Also has Invalid Nick (the creator of 'Heart Of The Oak') released his custom assets anywhere?

Basically I'm making a Payload map and I would like to have a ramp where without blu interaction, the payload would move backwards like in hightower and the Valve Developer Community on Payload doesn't discuss this. How do I do it?

Heya. I'm one of the newest members in the Map-making community, and I have issues that arent easily solved. for now though, I'll just ask one question. How do I import a custom model into my own map?

I'm making a map while taking influences from other games, and this lighting especially caught my eye: It has some sharp shadow transitions and dark roof/corners lighting. This is the type of lighting I need in some hallways in my map, but the problem is I'm having trouble creating it. I...

So, I am currently working on a map where Blu firstly has to capture a point for then a payload cart to come to that point to then be pushed all the way to the end. My problem is that, on my first try, the hud with the capture point did not show at all, but after I captured it the payload hud...

I want to make this building in a map I have no idea where I would begin on how to make this building shape. I tried making an arch, however I was stuck on how to make the front/back walls to cover the arch holes. I attempted by merging the inside vertices of the arch into one but it created...

I am planning in making a map but I cannot make players have only melee. How can I make that possible? I'd also like to know how to make the player able to pick up weapons around the map and how to spawn the weapon that can be picked up.
