Hammer Editor (makeing spawns) help!

[Iridium]

OK...In valve hammer editor to open a spawn I was told i need to go under (Entites) then Info_Player_start. When i look under my "Entities" then Objects there is no list...

Please tell me the correct way to make spawns or what is wrong with mine. :flame:

Use info_player_deathmatch.

Ok when you open hammer start a new map. On the left-hand side of the screen there should be several buttons. Click on the one that looks like a light-bulb( or you can just hit shift+e ). This should list your entities under "objects".

im having the same exact problem, when you click the entity tool it shows {entities} in the categorys box, but under the objects box, it shows a blank white dropdown list with nothing in it, im hoping somone can answer this soon because i cant figure it out for the life of me either.

Perhaps your .fgd (the file that contains all the entities) isn't loaded in hammer. In the "Source SDK" window in steam click on "Reset Game Configurations" under utilities. If that doesn't work you can do it manually:

While in hammer click on Tools > Options > then the Game Configurations tab. Next to the box labeled "Game Data Files" click on the button that says "add". From here select the .fgd file that applies to the game you are mapping for.

so its impossible to do it without a source? because i dont have source sdk file and stuff like that.

 

[JFry]

If you have hammer you have the source sdk. Just follow those instructions and the files should be there when you click add. If you are saying you don't have a legit copy of the game then I'm afraid you may be out of luck.

i have a legit copy of counter strike 1 anthology that comes with condition zero and stuff but i do not have counter strike source...i do have hammer editor and it opens and works fine but it dosent have the entitis...what .fgd file is used to map for condition zero because i cant see one...

Sorry I was assuming you were talking about hammer for source. It's been a while since I've used that version and I never mapped for cs:cz so bare with me. You can find several .fgds here:

You'll want the half-life .fgd regardless of what game you are working with as it has many of the "standard" entities that are vital to any level. Honestly I'm not sure if the cs .fgd is the same as the cs:cz .fgd. I'd assume you could find it in the cs:cz game folder tho...

To get it working with your version of hammer here is a handy guide to setting up hammer:

I highly recommend using zoner's compile tools:

CZDC has no official FGD. It does not use the CS o CZ FGDs.
