I'm trying to create ropes in hammer, but I can't see them in the editor, which is really annoying since I don't know where to place lights along it. Is there any fix? Is anyone else having a issue with this?
You cant see keyframe_ropes in the hammer, but you can see move_rope Keyframe_rope and move_rope dont have any difference iirc, so it shouldnt affect that much (except if you are using env_wind, then it will "move" move_ropes)
I still don't see it showing up in hammer :/ I'm using slartibartys hammer. Does that change anything?
Yes, ropes not showing up is a known issue with Slartyblarty's Hammer. You'll have to ask him or ficool how/if it can be fixed. Luckily .vmfs made in his Hammer and stock TF2 Hammer can be opened and modified in the other, so you can just make the ropes in stock Hammer
