Is it possible to pick up a prop_dynamic? If so, how?

I'm pretty sure you can't. If the physics box is checked under the info tab for the prop, use prop_physics. Otherwise, you'll have to use prop_physics_override.

Try parenting the prop_dynamic to a func_physbox with the 'Always pickup' flag. Otherwise use a prop_physics_override.

Would prop_physics_override still allow an entity to use animations?

What texture would i use to see the prop and not the physbox? Clip maybe?

Use nodraw.

I would use invisible, as it creates no shadows(great for buttons), unlike nodraw which creates shadows

I hope you know, that no func_ brush (except _detail and _brush)ever casts any shadow.
And: You can disable shadows in the keyvalues.

Invisible makes the prop disappear. Nodraw works.
