Do you have the "physics objects" Flag checked?

Also, make sure the "correctly account for object mass" flag is checked.

Hi,

I had the same problem too, when i put a cube directly on my catapult and when i tried to activate it using a simple button, the catapult reacted but the cube didn't move, it was stucked on the ground :/

I resolved this trouble with a func_toggle entity brush with invisible texture. I put it on my catapult, like the trigger brush. And when i push the button, the event "Toggle" of my func_toggle brush is raised and the cube fall on the catapult, and it worked fine

After 1 second, I call the event "Toggle" again to restore the func_toggle brush
Good luck
