Props in hammer

[Link]

I have another problem where many of the props I put in my map are not appearing in game. All but one are weapons like jarate and the charge n targe, the other one is a sniper. I put them up under prop_static. This was my compile log for the map.

I can see that each of the models have an error, "Error! To use model with prop_static, it must be compiled with $staticprop!", but I neither know what it means or how to compile it with that. So I then tried making the models prop_physics. This is my compile log for the prop_physics version.

Although I cannot see a single thing wrong with the models in this log, they still do not appear in game. I don't know much about props , but I have used them before and they didn't dissapear, then again those were actually static props. So yah, someone please help me, like those who put the same things in their hotel room. Thanks.

prop_dynamic.

Btw, asking tf2maps.net you'll get clearer, more detailed answers. They will also explain why.

Ah... I feel retarded right now, wonder why I didn't check all of them. Anyway thanks for the help beetle.
