MAke a brush with nodraw, texture top with water. Thats it. Water controllers are for fade out to cheap water. Almost any question you could ask is answered in the Valve developer WIKI. Look there next time, or the tutorials here.

Take a look at the example maps in your sdk folders. That's what they are for there - you can even see how de_cbble was made...

YOu have a leak. When the water is invisible its a leak. READ VALVE DEVELOPER WIKI. EVERYTHING IS THERE. (Water does not need to be tied to an entity)

http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Leaks_Explained#Finding_leaks

Dont just come here asking question after question. All these answers are there in the link. Browse the Wiki and you will find all your answers.

EDIT: Cubemaps are for lighting.

READ BEFORE MAPPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take a look at your compile log, if you've got a leak then you'll see a report about it in there.

And indeed, read those articles. Without them you're gonna have a hard time mapping indeed.

Hmm well try harder or load a pointfile and follow the red line that pin-points where the leak is.

Don't delete these objects - they're simply the entity most close to the leak usually. That Leaks article explained it (but indeed not very clear - I've added a small part to clarify this now).

You should find the place where the void connects with your playable area. Look in the vicinity of the mentioned entity, hide all entities and look for small gaps between brushes. Works for me every time. Alternately, loading the pointfile in-game may lead you to the leak, too.

If you read the Valve Wiki how could you not understand? Load pointfile. The entity is used as a starting point to find the leak. Its not the entity. Go to map, load pointfile and follow the red line. Try using dev water exp for better looking. PLEASE READ THOSE ARTICLES! Dont come back here with every little step and question. Its not hard, figure it out.

If you actually read abput leaks you would of known that func_details CANNOT seal the world. Please read carefully next time.

By making them normal brushes, not entities... There's a 'To World' button for that in the right panel, next to the 'To Entity' button...

As for hiding all entities, take a look at the side panel in Hammer, there's a block that deals with visibility groups there. Go to the tab that contains the auto-groups or however they're called, and untick the entity groups.
