I've made windows that are supposed to break. I know how to apply the right settings and tie them to entity func_breakable, but for some reason they do not break in the game. Instead I have to use func_breakble_surf - but what happens is that every time I go into the brush properties it resets itself t oa standard brush. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Ach forget it. Hammer was just acting up. It works fine now. Anyone have a problem in which after like 3 hours of using hamemr- it starts messing up?

Who wants to compare wierd Hammers? Mine can't compile maps.

Weirdest thing i have - I have to open it, and then reopen it every time I minimize it because the first tiem only the 3d view shows up.
As for S.O.T.E - damn, that really sucks.

once my tools bar has disappeared. so i couldnt do anything but even after i reinstalled it twice the issus was there so i had to modify a few things in windows registry. this took me a whole day to figure out after many serches in google

Why are all Valve related programs (including cs) extremely glitchy?

cose they spend the time in making games not programs for them. Valve hammer editor 3.4 or 3.5 development is kindaoff cose now we have source sdk. which can be used to make non source levels and source levels and more. If ur smart enough u can make a whole new game based on source engine

Yeah, there was a topic earlier about a search for developers. I love Source SDK though, cause I can reset all the configurations in case it screws up on me. Hurry for reset!

hmm i cant use it cose i have a CPU=1800 mhz DDR=256 and is just to slow for that but i can use hammer 3.5 till i'm making nonsource levels
u can reset hm3.4/5 if u delete something in the windows registry
