You have to use the right classname for the .MDL you've chosen. Moving objects like barrels are prop_physics; some tables are physics, but to my knowledge they're generally prop_static. Check that the fade distances in the prop's properties are properly (+5 Repitition of "Prop") set to -1 and 0.

(+5 Repitition of "Prop")

the table it prop_static and it dosent shou up at all ill check fot the distents props next....

tables are more often prop_physics !

also, check the properties of the prop:
• Start Fade Dist : -1
• End Fade Dist : 0

To my knowledge, what you want to move and obey the laws of gravity, bouyancy, etc. you make it prop_physics. If you want it to be rock solid you make it prop_static. No?

No. Some props are programmed as prop_physics, and if youa dd them as prop_static, Hammer will delete them from your map whith compiling. sometimes you can use entities like prop_physics_override, but that does not always work.

You have the option of disabling movement of prop_physics/_override by checking the start disabled flag

 

[UltraProAnti]

you mean the 'motion disabled' spawnflag

 

[Geronimous]

Yep, Motion disabled...
used for -example- radiators to be hang on walls, while they are actually physics props.

Yeah thats the one
