Ok, first of all, when I run my map my portal gun dissapears so I can't see it.
Second of all, how do you make it snap to like 8 units instead of 64.

Its a brush based entity, make a brush the size you want the door and then hit 'ctrl+t' and where it says 'class name:' on the window that pops up put func_door in

Does anyone know how to fix my portal gun problem, cause it's kinda important. Also, why do they call them brushes... why not, objects.

because an object is something else.

look in your entity list, if you can't find weapon_portal gun or trigger_portal_cleanser you may not have configued hammer to use the portal fgd. (tools>options>game configuations, then where it says game data files it should say ....portal.fgd)

Are you sure you are loading your maps in portal and not the mod you may have created to configure hammer?

Good point, compile your bsps to portal/maps then go into Portal, in console type "map mapname"

That will just make it easier, now you know what you must do now and wont take as long to do it.

It sounds like you're new to Hammer. I'd really suggest reading around at halfwit-2.com and Interlopers.net, they have really good beginner's tutorials. This site isn't exactly geared towards "beginners", so you might find more help there.
