ok i need to know how to make a computer (model) link up to a monitor e.g. so if i shot the tower then the screen would go off!

hl2 or cs? cause i'm not very good with cs:s, i don't use it. In hl2 you would need to wire it so that if the tower takes a certain amount of damage, and i believe there's a field in the func_breakable and func_brush enitites that say something like that (something like damage to take, or fire on hurt) Then put the target as the monitor. Now the question is, what do you mean go off? Turn off the light? Make the screen go black? If it's the light, that's easy, the target is the light. If you mean the screen. You'll have to make sure that the texture animates, and make sure that the screen is set to an entity that toggles. maybe func_brush has it. I'm not completely sure. It'd be the kind of thing that happens when you push a button in hl1 or 2. The texture changes.

damn sounds hard any chance of an example its for cs:s and its a premade model by valve (the dell computer) and in office you can shoot the tower and the screen goes black. That is what i need to do

I promised this guy i would show him how

well, you can always try it the hl2 way, there might be a lot of the same trigs, it's gonna have something to do with the damage i guarantee you.

I think you should look at the Snarkpit, there's something about TVs with power leads that break (as in HL?), perhaps you use something similar - or perhaps it's an animation for the monitor model. Open the model, see if you there's a ChangeAnimation input for a prop_physics...
