If you look at the dm_lockdown map, there was (or at least, the version that I had had 'em) an entity right above the holes that controlled the antlions and how many spawned.
I assume it's just an npc_maker that spawns them.

Jeff Lane from VALVe says that's the best bet to fix the problem until they can fix the error otherwise. It's worked for me...
I think a mod's having a bit of fun 
I'm going to quote my posts above which are possible solutions to your problems...

Did you try checking the start inactive flag?And regarding antlions...
I believe if the player places it [the turret] it will activate for the player's team, try it.
Antlions were planned for dm_lockdown but got removed - The holes were left in. And there's a sample dm_lockdown VMF...I think all the ents for their spawning are there, actually. Take a look.
Er, we have Hammer mapping tutorials...
VMF notepad stuff is widely undocumented - You'd have to look at the code in a VMF file - It's sort of simple, just takes forever.

Soon, I hope - They've ported the other two within a reasonable timeframe so I assume SA is on it's way.
You need a brush covered in tools/toolsskybox wherever you want sky.
Ctrl-M allows you to rotate barrels - Sometimes physobjects get knocked over on spawn so try messing with their rotation.
As for the sky, it's done by setting a proper skyname - Set the skyname in map - map properties to sky_x, omitting the skybox/ and rt, lf, etc portion at the end of the skyname.

Umm, the engine itself is probably just a prop...
Hmm, example? Like the Ravenholm cartrap?
I'd think it's just a gate, with the rope system setup, with a constraint, then the engine turned on triggers the destruction of the constraint which moves the gate?

Yeah, you can actually map in Notepad/Wordpad, if you know how.
That happens when you mix up prop types - ie, using a trainstation phone booth model as a prop_physics, or prop_junk garbage models as prop_static.
Yay!

I doubt a whole lot of people here know much about coding, tbh - The majority of people seem to be mappers - Try on the Valve-ERC message board, or the Wavelength board, or the VERC IRC channel, you might have more luck there since both seem to have quite a few coders.
No, since it seems to just set how many Allies and how many Medics will follow you.
I think you have to configure an ai_ally_manager, too, and I think you have to set their type to 'Rebel'.
Creepeh.
...is used for moving props. Or the multipart ones.
Aww, teh new source stuff isn't that difficult to learn.
There's a flag on the env_global that should enable the super-grav-gun, I believe.
The solution is rather simple, for what seems like a really annoying error :P.
Just close the Play games, Steam, and Source SDK windows after launching Hammer.

Hehe.
prop_detail is only for procedurally placed details - grass, etc.
Use prop_static.

Yeah, let it start above the ground a bit and have 'im fall onto something. Ragdoll props are a bit strange, they take a bit of position tweaking to make 'em look proper.
There are a few in props_junk or props_debris I assume, the one in the Lockdown fan-chamber is a model.
P'fabs work fine for me...
Prefabs are just normal vmfs anyway, just use the save function instead of the create prefab command.

It's got some weird limiter on how long they can be, my long shout didn't show up either.
You can also tick the flag 'Motion Disabled' and 'Enable Motion on PhysGun Grab' on the prop_physics if you don't want to bother with constraints.
Try a prop_ragdoll with one of the NPC models?
Er, what error?
If you want to use them in multiplayer, you need to make them prop_physics_multiplayer, as they are coded to put less strain on the netcode .
Crates are in props_junk, barrels in props_c17, by the way.

Exactly.
Right and Left click.
Did you select both of them and make the two a single physbox?
Use your same account :/
There's an alternate copy somewhere, then, if they aren't going away.
Or, there's some new 'feature' that keeps them from going away.

Em, if you're trying to use old HL1 mods (ie NS) with HL2, they aren't going to work.
They're showing up because you haven't deleted their HL1 copies.

The info_camera_link does not need to move, it just tells the TV which camera to display.
Parent the camera with a func_physbox or prop_physics.

For the third, you make two entities and parent the breakable one with the moving one.

That white fog in the background is actually a smokestack.
I'll mess with the distances for the fog, that does look a bit weird.
I'd remove the fog, but its supposed to be mid-morning in an industrial district, and there's lots of smog, if not fog, at that time of day and in the location

It's not a wad! It's individual material files in the GCF!!

I get the same thing :/ - It eats up memory and causes the system to malfunction and not allow you to save anything. It scared the shit out of me the first time I got it, I thought it was a virus. It seems like one.
And I was having a nice conversation on AIM with females. And after I restarted they left ;/

I got some extremely nice and expensive Bose headphones as well as some various computer and iPod accessories.
Gordon action figures? They should make those. I'd pay good money to have an entire set of HL2 action figures. Because then I could toss the Lamarr one onto peoples' heads and tell them they got head-humped and then they would stare at me funny and slowly walk away.
