How do I create sandbags in hammer?

Way to be vague.

I don't have much choice to give a vague answer.

Use a sandbag texture or get a custom model.

As I'm sure that doesn't really help you, I have to get some more information from you before I can help you.

What game are you mapping for?

In HL1 the way to make a pile of sandbags was to make a brush with the sandbag texture on it. In source, I imagine making some good looking sandbags with the brush tool would be a little more difficult. You might want to use the models from DoD source or something. I don't know how to use custom models in a map so you'll have to wait for an answer on that or google it.

There was no sandbag texture. And i've tried googling how to create sandbags in hammer but i can't find anything.

Mmk, there are many sandbag models in DoD Source. Use static prop entities. The sandbags in that screenshot are a model.

How do I get access to these sandbag models? I looked through all the entities. And there is only one weird sandbag texture. Will these sandbags automatically be bullet proof?

edit: I found how to get to static props. And found the sandbags...awesome thanks for the help

If you want to make nice ones, maybe try making them like a prefab. make a few different single sand bags, save them, then load a new map and load a few and arrange them to how you like and save it. do this a few times and you will have some nice detailed sandbags. or if you just wanna do a wall with a sandbag texture. just some ideas.
