Are you running RAD in the compile process? and VIS?

Ask yourself these questions:
Whats the light's brightness?
Is the light inside a brush?
Did I run RAD?
What is the light's color?

first let me thank you for the replys.Second the light problem: I am running with RAD , the light is inside a hallow rectangle ,so there is no leak or errors ,it is placed properly, the light settings are on default.
But a new problem rises: i can't run my maps!!!!!!!.The game freezes at the loading picture!!!!. I tried reinstalling hammer , I used 2 different versions of halflife...this is hopeless.....my modelling cariere is going from bad to whorse

When it freezes look in the console for the reason! Probebly due to missing sounds etc.

I'd guess it's a configuration problem. I also imagine you're probably using the Quake tools for compiling. Read the Compiling Introduced tutorial and all the compiling-related tutorials, and get the latest build of Zoner's Tools (info).
If you're still stumped, read your compile log and compare it against this list, and finally post it here.

Or search for the error here- http://www.slackiller.com/tommy14/errors.htm - it's a messy page but I remember something on frizzing found somewhere in it.

Elon, everything on that nasty page is on the much nicer page I linked to. Tommy helped make it.

thanks for the reply's ,the console was a good idea : i got the mesage "map not found on server"(i was saving in the wrong dir).It is all working fine now , (i still get this mesage some times, but rarely, could help to know what is causing it, in order to avoid it.A second question is : how does the "Transformation tool " work?I have a problem: at scale ,the smaler the number, the bigger the brush (does it not use "units"?)or I am using the wrong tool to create brushes of specific sizes?Last, I tried experimenting with the light tool , but I can't get it to flicker!!!(I tried all the presets, and the only difference is the color: thungsten or fuorescent )thanks!!

Various things produce "map not found on server". There's no one helpful reason.
Don't understand your question about the transformation tool. It's not very useful, anyway, it's better to resize brushes by the handles; I don't think it sticks to the grid otherwise.

''map not found on server'' i find is usually because theres some entity error on the map, either that, or the compiling tools dont suit the map

Some times if you bugger about with VM it doesn't generate the BSP properly, so check your map for any problems before you compile

Map not found on server eh? if your using WorldCraft i'd Install Valve Hammer.That happened to me and installing VHE fixed it.Also, if your 'loading' sign freezes in the box near the top when youve pressed the button with two o's , type in' -dev -console'. That should tell you what's happening in the compiling QUOTE: if you find it says 'map not found on server' , read the top of this reply.

Ok I'm back with questions .I almost completed my first map and is actualy pretty good for a beginner!.But a question rises: how do i get a scientist to walk up or down the stairs?(I need to get a scientist from an upper floor to open a door that is on a level below).I placed info_nodes all over the map, even on the stairs themself, but when I trigger the script , the scientist doesn't even move from it's place, i tried to get him to follow me(toght is is a script problem) but as he reaches the stairs he stops following!!! 
thanks in advance

PS where can I get some weapons for my mod cause I'd really like some choises :

I don't think you just can download a model and use it in your mod, well, there was one site that had weapons that you was allowed to use in your mod, but they looked like **..
Ask someone to make models for you, and give them a credit in your mod.

If they are built correctly then put a scripted_secuance where you want the scientist to go to! Choose in the go to value run or walk and in the target monster value write the name of the scientist! When that script is targeted the scientist will walk to the place where you placed that script entity! The hight of each step must be about 16 points or lower!

the script is done corectly(it iisn't the olnly script im my map , but is the only one that will not work).The stairs can be walked over i even tried to get them to follow but they say"I'm sorry Gordon, you'll have to leave me here" or something simmilar

aparently you don't understand my question...in the original half life map there is no train(brush) there are only the path_corners...

you're asking too many questions

Post #116705
if you want to make the scientist go down the stairs and open the door at the bottom youll need info_nodes so he can follow you can youll need something like a trigger_once that only actuvates for monsters so that when he passes the trigger (which'll be at or near the door) the trigger will target him to do his script of something like that, im gonna stop explaining now becuase ill get confused on what im saying
the beginning intro in hl1 is made with a func_trakctrain set with no controls flag (cant remember name of flag), the train was told to follow the entitys probably by a trigger_auto. Whenever it went through level transistions it would just be triggered again by a trigger_auto

shouldnt this be in HL1 Mapping Questions?

Func_tracktrain starts on, 38_98! To make it start off you will nead a trigger_auto!! 
And the flag is 'controllable'!
