I have a little question. If the origin brush is right in the middle of a car , but it's as tall as the car , then car will be half-burrowed . Am I right ?

no

Really no need to make a thread.
Simple yes and no questions can be asked in the IRC or the shoutbox.

but when I do that the car is half-burrowed.

Ok maybe anyone could tell me with details how to make a vehicle ? (I'm a little embarrassed : )

I use hammer 3.5 ......

I also sometimes have stupid errors like the vehicle is positioned in a weird direction (and that direction isn't set in the vehicle's properties) ...

Cars should face a sertain direction, north maybe, not shure. Two years have passed since I made my last CS map.
You are using path_tracks right?

Well, a vehicle's front should always be placed facing the westward (left) direction. The middle of the origin brush is the middle of the vehicle when tied to the same entity. Make sure the path_corner or path_track you set for the spawn position is above the ground enough to be in the center of the vehicle's origin brush.

aha , thanks

In an intance like this, I would just decompile one of the popular MP maps with vehicles, and study the entity setup. Func_vehicles can be tricky and buggy imo.
