I'm trying to make a trigger_control_area and trigger_hurt but those options aren't showing up in the list of entity brushes. When I convert the trigger to an entity brush it just transforms into a prop_static entity. I dont know if there's some sort of requirement for activating trigger...

When I compile my map, it says that the entity nearest to the leak (wherever that actually is) has leaked. It can be a trigger, a spawn point, or any other entity. However I am unable to actually find where the entity is. The pointfile shows the line going from the leaking entity to one of the...

so, crazy question. let's say i wanted to make a koth map that takes place on 2 airplanes in constant movement, in the sky, bobbing up and down, side to side, small gusts of wind that push players, and everything, spawns, lockers, and the point all move separately or with the planes...is this...

I heard awhile ago that you can put all your custom content for mapping in a separate folder, you can keep better track of it. Today, I decided to do that. All of my custom content is in a folder named "tf_custom" in "Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2", next to the "tf" folder. Now, how can...
