I wanted to create a thread like this for things that haven't been covered in the tutorials section and that are a little too small to actually be admitted into the Tutorials section.
I for one have no tutorials to display, But, I am trying to figure out how to respawn weapons.
-If you are just going to be an idiot and say "oh what a pointless thread", or something else that isn't very nice at all, just don't post at all.
Post your "Mini"- Tutorials he

Do you mean for single player or deathmatch? I'm pretty sure that in deathmatch the weapons respawn automatically. In single player you'll need to do some entity work. Try using a monstermaker, I don't know if you can use it to spawn entities other than monsters, but it's worth a shot.

Yeah, it can be used to spawn item_ and weapon_ entities. Useful tools.
Also, I think we already have a thread for mini-tutorials. Maybe a moderator can merge them? It's a good idea, but it's been done.

In HLDM, weapons respawn on their own after a certain time with no extra work needed. Just place the weapon_stuff and that's all.

In HLDM, target a monstermaker with to spawn the item you want.
You can also use the game_player_equip point entity with a trigger_once or trigger_multiple to drop some weapons on a player directly.

Are you sure you can use monstermakers to spawn items?

oh what a pointless thread?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't "mini tutorials" the exact purpose of this thread?
'Cause it sure seems to be.

If they're not respawning, you're not in deathmatch mode. Start a game through the "create server" menu option rather than "map mapname" in the console as the latter will start a singleplayer session.

But this is a universal tutorial thread.
That is only for Goldsrc.
Oh, and thanks.

What do you mean, universal tutorial thread?
The Mapping Tips thread is for both Source and GoldSource and its purpose is to provide tips or mini tutorials really, so this thread is actually not needed (not going to say pointless :D).
I will not lock this just yet.
Plus, you were basically just posting a mapping question.

If you use Hammer's "Run Map", enter "+deathmatch 1" (without quotes) in "Additional game parameters".
