How to import custom prefabs to map?

[siikdude 240]

Hello, I was wondering how I would import a custom made prefab that someone made already into my map. I have tried putting the .map file of the prefab into my map_source folder and when I pressed "Load" in radiant when in my map, I get a error and it wont be put in my map. And my radiant would shut down. So I was wondering if i was doing something wrong. Thanks.

Right click on the 2D grid > misc > prefab

 

You will see a window pop-up, it is the prefabs folder in you map_source folder.

Select the prefab you want to add and than click open

Sounds like the .map you're trying to import is corrupted. Can you open it by itself? (So without importing?)

 

BTW there is a directory inside the map_source directory called prefabs <.<
