So I've been trying to make a map...

[Eion Kilant 739]

Then suddenly my map walls/floor/etc. were appearing (don't recall tectical term) over my entities, such as a spawn point.

My test maps were also not showing up in my Garry's mod map list, how would I fix this?

Also, how am I able to tell if a texture/block is transparent?

You would have to poot the map file in to the garrysmod map file.

It is transparent when it is nodraw  (?)

put your spawn points above the ground and away from the wall if i remember correctly it has to be 16+ units away. Other 2 questions were answered.
