I have seen the videos on youtube of this, and I am wondering how you go about making a dispenser and the futbol.

I have seen the pages in the search on the VDC site, but I simply cannot make sense of it.

I would like to be able to learn how to create it so I can use it in future projects.

To have the futbols in Hammer to use, just download this:
Improved FGD files
Extract all files to "Steamsteamappscommonportal 2bin".
After that, just try out how it works.

That's the part I am stuck on.

I have already upated the FGD files, I have spent several hours trying to figure out how to set it up...and I still have no clue.

It's annoying.

EDIT: Just saw your update. Will see about it tomorrow. =]

Sorry for the double post.

I seem to get a massive blue 'ERROR' in hammer when trying to use the 'prop_glass_futbol_socket' (which I think is the thing you need to place it in?).

I am so confused on how I am meant to get this to work.

Also, the glass_futbol update was useful. =]

Socket and Dispensers are not or just partially functionable. You have to create them by yourself with the help of the entities the Source Engine gives you. And they are perfect for jobs like this.

Glass futbol?
