Putting models in levels

<div class="IPBDescription">Yet another stupid question..</div>I found a tutorial explaining how to import models to the level but it didn't explain it in a way a girl can understand..

How is done exactly? Make an entity? What entity?

I want to import a .mdl, put it behind a glass and that's it. Does it have to be a spirte or what?

I'm sorry if I annoy someone with my questions but I figured this would be the perfect place to ask.. Could some point me to a tut that explains it in nooblish if there is one?

    you have your model in the models folder of ns, preferbly:

    "\Steam\SteamApps\youracount\half-life\ns\models\yourmapname"


    Then you use a cycler (point entity) and set it's model path to your model file. More info on the cycler entity: <a href="http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?ent=cycler" target="_blank">clicky</a>


    The glass you're talking about is a brush based entity. Simply create a brush, texture it with a glass texture and turn it into a func_wall, using CTRL+T with the brush selected (rendermode: texture/additive(black glass textures), renderamount: between 25-100)

    More info on the func_wall entity: <a href="http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?ent=cycler" target="_blank">clicky</a>


    Basicly there are two types of entities:
    - brush based you simply create with brushes, which you then turn into entities using CTRL+T

    - point entities, these are created using the entity tool (4th tool from the top on the right bar in VHE)
