A certain model won't compile in my map

[\\Vincent Vega]

This Dumpster Model won't load, it says it wasn't compiled with prop static.

Prop_physics does not work either (First thing I tried and usually it will tell you this in compile log but it did not)

Never mind I solved it by using a prop_physics_override.

An entity I have never used before because I have never had too.

The prop override entities are actually quite useful, as that way you can say, for example, turn any of Source's models available to you in to a physics prop.

That's Dog's dumpster which might be a prop_dynamic if it has animations. Not that it matters now but I thought that I would mention it anyways.
