So, what would I use to spawn flat blocks? I assume that it isn't props, so what would I use in order to create a flat block?

You cant spawn brushes.

I think you should say what your trying to achieve and what u have already tried.

Actually he can: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=129597 , but brushes == props, and they will be invisible

That's a trigger brush.

Can OP please clarify if they are talking about triggers or a textured func_brush or func_detail entity?

[Mathiaas]

Well I would like to create flat blocks of some kind, which would be walk/jumpable on.

prop_dynamic is probably your best bet for creating traversable objects. Just spawn a flat model with collisions (such as models/props_lab/blastdoor001c.mdl), and rotate it if need be.

If you must create flat blocks that cover specific coordinates exactly, you could use that code snippet to spawn some kind of brush with collisions (func_brush, maybe?) and then visualize it using TempEnt lasers. I'm pretty sure there's some way to cover (in addition to surrounding) areas with those...

func_brush will last the entire map and shouldn't be required to respawn each round.

func_detail will need to be spawned on every round_start event.

As posted above. You cant apply a texture to either and you will be required to visualise as mentioned.

func_detail is an internal brush (i.e. it's compiled into the BSP). Can you even spawn internal brushes?

[Neuro Toxin]

Not sure. That is a comment from mapping experience.

func_detail's are used for pointers that the vis compiler can use to easily determine if a player can see through/around the object. Im not even sure if func_detail is compiled into the bsp either..

What OP is looking for is posted here:

There would be no point in trying to make a brush, as it makes things complicated, he could just make a platform model (the block) and spawn it as a prop_dynamic or physics (movement disabled)
