A tree question

these are models which will be setted with cycler_sprite in to the map. but this isn't really good for much trees because hl is limited to a epoly limit too.

u dont need sprites for trees, u need models.
put a cyler_sprite entity where u want the tree, and in the properties search the model what u want.
u can also use modelviewer to see how the tree/whatever looks like. glhf :up:

there should be a attribute called Model
where you can select the model when not you have the wrong fgd

Here is the entity code which needs to be replaced in the fgd. but this will only work with the hammer 3.5 beta

@PointClass studio() base(Targetname, Angles, model_seq) = cycler_sprite : "Sprite Cycler"
[
sprite(sprite) : "Sprite"
model(studio) : "Model"
skin(integer) : "Skin" : 0
body(integer) : "Body" : 0
framerate(integer) : "Frames per second" : 10
renderfx(choices) :"Render FX" : 0 =
[
0: "Normal"
1: "Slow Pulse"
2: "Fast Pulse"
3: "Slow Wide Pulse"
4: "Fast Wide Pulse"
9: "Slow Strobe"
10: "Fast Strobe"
11: "Faster Strobe"
12: "Slow Flicker"
13: "Fast Flicker"
5: "Slow Fade Away"
6: "Fast Fade Away"
7: "Slow Become Solid"
8: "Fast Become Solid"
14: "Constant Glow"
15: "Distort"
16: "Hologram (Distort + fade)"
]
rendermode(choices) : "Render Mode" : 0 =
[
0: "Normal"
1: "Color"
2: "Texture"
3: "Glow"
4: "Solid"
5: "Additive"
]
renderamt(integer) : "FX Amount (1 - 255)"
rendercolor(color255) : "FX Color (R G B)" : "0 0 0"
]

yo don't need to remove hammer you have only the wrong fgd. i posted you above the new entity which need to replaced in your old fgd.

ah now i got it. I changed the fgd file to the 1 pf0llz0r gave me. Now when i make a new entity a pink box appears with the entity name on it. And if i wanna go to properties a model option is now available. Thank you very much for the help. Its awesome to see you helping me with something so easy like this. Thanks you.

EDIT: In the text file pf0llz0r gave me it says "to ensure the proper function of active model preview in hammer, you have to place your models in the correct mod-model-folder (e.g. "cstrike\models\xx.mdl" or "cstrike\models\xxx\xx.mdl")

Does this mean that i can see the model in hammer. A tree instead of the pink entity box?

EDIT: Yup the models is now displayed in hammer :)

Don't add too many, nobody likes bad fps :D

Wtf, so many posts but none has the simpliest way to do it :O

Just do 2x 1 unit thick blocks (or just one) that cross each other to make them look like " X "

You have to have a texture with a blue background which will disappear when you set texture mode texture or solid or something.

I've seen that maps has trees and plants which isn't built by blocks.
