Is there any way to make a water filled barrel, I tried carving and hollowing a cilynder for room where the water should be, but it keeps giving me a brush error.

Probably because of the carving.
Take the steel pushable barrel prefab, turn it to world, hollow it, and then func_wall it if desired and add the water in the middle, which might need some clipping or VM to fit. .

Ok, thanks of the tip!
Although I tried hollowing as well, I know carving is a mortal sin as cosidered by most.

Hollowing isn't a great practice either, but its very handy in these sorts of situations.

I didn't have the steel pushable barrel prefab in the objects list.
How do I make one?

It's in the 'Crates' category.
If you still dont have it, just make a cylinder, then do the same as I described above.

When I was a newb mapper all I ever used where the block, hollow, and carve tools. OMG, I always got errors using carve and I didn't know how. All I use carve for is things that are square (Doors, rooms+hallways). Of course it suite's me right because on a few occasions I was trying to carve like 20 sided cylineders into a block and a couple of times into themselves at an angle... gee i was stupid.

Why not just use the arch tool, and then make a cylinder bottom.....

Lol....But hollow has its uses for getting bottoms of objects etc the right size quickly.

You can ungroup and take off the top bit of the ashtray. It's only two pieces, y'know. And it's a cylinder, just an 8 sided one .
Arch tool is an idea, though it takes a fair deal of VM to get it to align to the cylinder shape to make the barrel bits on the bottom. It's easier to just hollow in this situation.
