Just experiment, stusayso! Make something a momentary_button and connect it to a momentary_door. See what happens.

in Hammer Bugs Post #5491
Yep, Hammer can be buggy - pity you seem to have suffered them all right at the start. Do you know what a leak is? If not, click here to see the definition.

The empty thing is another wierd bug - even after you've deleted an entity, Hammer ocasionally seems to still think it's there, kinda like a ghost. I don't think it matters, though.

Odd about the console thing. Try adding
"-dev -console -cstrike +deathmatch 1 +toggleconsole"
That shoudl immediately bring the console down when you start, even if you've somehow unbound it.

Everyone did. No comments jobabob or anyone else who wants to be difficult, capeesh.

Here're some possible environments:

Barren places:
- Forest
- Ice
- Mountainous
- "Dark"
Industrial places:
- Deserted town, from earlier age?
- Fifties-style military, like 'Mesa itself
- Very very high-tech (lots of purple lighting? :) )

That's happened to me before.

So, you say the big-block method failed? Really? If so, this isn't a normal leak, so it's almost certainly an invalid brush... right?

Well, assuming you've just got a .BSP, put/extract it into Half-LifeMODDIRmaps. Mod dir for standard HL is "VALVE", i.e.
