Hammer Editor how do i make props static?

[OH WOW!]

when i place a chair and call it prop_static it doesnt show up, and then when i make it prop_physics and motion disabled it still is being moved by a physgun

[OH WOW!]

BUMP

Try asking the prop if there was some interference between it and the next channel. In all reality if you hold the botton that would open up the menu where you can select your player model hovering over the prop with the mouse and right clicking it would bring up a small menu where you can "Make Persistent" About the closes you can get to static as far as I know.

use the entity tool and double click and where it says info player start or whatever type in prop_static instead

Use prop_dynamic instead. The chair is not meant to be static, that's why it disappears. Also check the option for physgun, so it cannot be moved by it.

Use prop_dynamic_override if prop_dynamic alone doesn't work as well. I have noticed a lot of props demand to be dynamic/physic rather than static which they should be in my opinion.

Sorry, it isn't a flag, but a unused keyvalue, which actually works. It is documented here: http://web.archive.org/web/20101222202856/http:/wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Category:Specific_Keyvalues Follow the instructions there.

actually since were here i have another question the water in my map doesnt show up either. it shows up in hammer but when i play on it the water is invisible but i can run through it just fine and see the ripples, waves, and the sound of it

i checked my map for leaks and there are none, and i created the water by making a block and just selecting a random texture (nodraw) and used the faceedit on the top of the block only and setting that to water (while the rest is nodraw)

[oteek]

Invisible water is caused by a leak. Are you sure there are no leaks? To check this, you must load a pointfile by going here: http://prntscr.com/fikf5u
The name of the pointfile is the same as your map name.
