Need some help with Objects bar Created 15 years ago2009-04-15 03:43:50 UTC by Wolfomea

Hello, im relatively new here, and already ran into one problem in Hammer (3.5).

Whenever i try to select a different category in the Objects bar, the rest are just not there. The only category existing is " Primitives ".

I've read some Mapping tutorials here, and haven't been able to locate the problem.

Could someone help me out?

It's not a problem. There's only one category at a time, as far as I know.
Just pretend it's not there, the category changes automatically as you change the tool you are using

Im trying to create some Furniture in the map, and as i followed the Tutorials, i just can't make it.

Ah, I think you mean prefabs. They're just brushwork that's been premade and saved as a group. They're kind of frowned upon, as you can tell if the mapper has put prefabs everywhere in a map, because you see the same thing in lots of other maps.
(Of course things like file cabinets and the like are fairly standard stuff, so you may as well use them. Just don't use them too much.)

Also, invalid prefabs will cause Hammer to crash, and there are plenty of invalid ones around. I'm pretty sure that more recent versions of Hammer don't include any prefabs.

If you really want to use the prefabs, find an older install of Hammer (such as 3.3, not sure if they're included), or a copy of Worldcraft 2.1 (definitely included), and copy the 'prefabs' folder to your Hammer install directory. Alternatively, a Google search might turn up some prefabs.

Thank you! This helped me alot!
