1. Anyone know where I can find any good prefabs/prefab libraries? I need stuff like chairs, tables, bookcases, shelves, all kinds of stuff.

2. I want to have a scientist lay on a table like in the scripted_sequence dead_table3. However, when I do this with a monster_scientist_dead, he just takes the normal dead pose instead of doing the scripted sequence. It works (almost) with a monster_scientist, but when I try to place him on a table HL gives me an error that a monster_scientist is stuck in a wall. The scientist also screams when you hit him, which is quite disturbing since he's supposed to be dead.

3. I will ask this once more. Why won't an item_battery show up on my map?

I think that's all at the moment. Thanks for any help.

http://www.planethalflife.com/prefablab/ is pretty nice
http://prefabs.gamedesign.net beats it on quantity, not as good as the first, though. YOU COULD ALWAYS MAKE YOUR OWN ;)

monster_scientist_dead shouldn't need a scripted_sequence. Try the 'pose' field? If not, mebbe an aiscripted_sequence?

Very odd about the battery. Tried it more than once? In another map, for instance?

Once again you rescue me. :P

I couldn't find what I was looking for at any of the sites, but I will keep looking.

Oh... Didn't know that one was there. Thanks.

I tried it in another map, where it worked. So, I tried deleting the battery and then creating it again, which apparently worked so... shrugs

Thanks again.

to make your dead scientist use a monster_scientist_dead and set his pose to table 1, 2, or 3 using scripted_sequenses is just extra work for your self. And about the batteries:
if you were in hl running the map and dont see the batteries.. thats wierd, if youre in hammer, make sure the 'hide items' option in the view menu of hammer is off

No, I saw it in Hammer, but not in HL. All fixed now though.

A warning about prefabs...
Most of the Prefabs that are not included in Hammer are OLD. By that I mean they were made ages ago and can cause errors with the new compiling tools. Check the date the Prefab was published, and once you include it in your map, check for problems. Mapping has come a long way and new ways of doing things have been introduced. Just be careful when using someone elses Prefabs.
A google search for Prefabs will lead you too numerous sites, but I have found it easier to make the item and save it to my Prefab factory for future use, at least I know it works...
