Hello again. I tried to make a func_tankrocket that, at a certain moment, fires to a monster generic. I setted up everything as in the TWHL tutorial except the func_tankcontrols because the tankrocket is automatic and controlled by a trigger auto. Well, the fact is that it does not work. Is there a proper way to ser up this entity to make it work the way I want? (Full explanation please!)

Goldsource or Source?

Try this if it's for GS: http://twhl.info/vault.php?map=6059

all tanks in goldsrc will only shoot at the player. You might want to consider a trigger_once triggering an env explosion near the generic monster instead.

Try using monstermaker with "Monster Type" set to "rpg_rocket". You can also change the direction of the flight.

EDIT: I checked and it really works! You can launch rpg rockets from and to anywhere that way.

Also, if you set the "Frequency" to -1 and "Max children" to -1 as well, you can break the game.
And as far as I know you can spawn helicopter rockets, but I don't remember how.

You should post future questions in the HL Engine Discussion forum next time. The Maps and Mods forum is more used to show off projects and advertise releases. No mapping questions.
