9. Each control point must be named. set that name in the outputs under target entity.
added more thanks again!
trees are usually model props, look at Boojum's Prop Library
now I haven't tried this but I've thought about it... and that is if you want to actually make it look like the player is in a large forest (as too many props will make things run slow) you could make a texture that looks like leaves and branches (multiple if you want more variety), then make displacements that are roughly umbrella shaped, and apply that texture to it (it should be transparent around the edges and between leaves and branches). You can then make rough trunks with func_detail cylindars or possibly displacements, and dot the canopy displacements around to make the forest canopy appear full.
once again I haven't tried this, but it should be able to create more of a forest without the cost of tons and tons of models, which would also increase file size significantly.

K i will look into it, I kind of want to make the red base foresty and point D saw millish with trees chopped down and things like lumbermill
another please and thank you all!
That's a good idea for a canopy. Displacements are great for natural terrain and very cost effective.
Be carefull that the player can't touch the edges as they will get stuck on them.

Sorry I halted the map making, IRL things. getting back on that now. Gunna see if I can find a good "how to make an elevator" thread.
Posted one thanks again guys!
1. I will try
2. checked no errors came back
3. I don't run tf2 while mapping usually (just a habit of keeping my task bar to the least possible things[sorry I'm a weirdo])
I'll check the map name thing though I don't understand 100% I opened the one I used latest.
Thanks again!
alright it works thanks!
