So now a made a ladder, it works but i cant see it, what can i do to make it visable?

Do you have any idea where i can find some more tutorials that will help me further?

Sweet, i got it working thanks alot for your help, one last question though, if i want to add things inside the map, do i just have to save and convert it to .map again?

When i finish typing it out, i save it as all files, with no .txt at the end, but when i try to save it, it continues to save as a txt document, any ideas?

Im actually running it straight through hammer, do you suggjest i do it the other way?

Ok, no more leaks, i started and made a new one, now im getting this, and it still wont start, do you guys see any errors thats causeing it not to run?

I follow the red line, but i just dont see any hole, so i really dont understand how to fix it, sorry if it seems like im asking repetive questions.

That is what i get now, but im a bit confused on how to fix it,so if you could please tell me what i need to do to fix these leaks that would be great.

nVM I figured it out.

I just started making maps, and when i try to compile it, i keep getting the error message


Warning: === LEAK in hull 0 ===
Entity info_player_deathmatch @ ( -64, 0,-192)
Error:
A LEAK is a hole in the map, where the inside of it is exposed to the
(unwanted) outside region. The entity listed in the error is just a helpful
indication of where the beginning of the leak pointfile starts, so the
beginning of the line can be quickly found and traced to until reaching the
outside. Unless this entity is accidentally on the outside of the map, it
probably should not be deleted. Some complex rotating objects entities need
their origins outside the map. To deal with these, just enclose the origin
brush with a solid world brush

Im guessing its the leak thats not allowing me to play, but there are no holes in the map, and my spawn points and light are inside the map, anyone got any idea what the problum is?
