I want to make a toy rocket outside a building in my level (The little ones that kids build at summer camp), and I want to have its thruster turn on and make it fly straight up.
My problem is, there's no good tutorial on them to my knowledge, and of course, Hammer is no help. I don't understand the entity properties, so if anyone can explain it better to me (and I'm not trying something as ambitious as the canisters in Garry's Mod, I just need it to fly up) I'd be most appreciative.
Having trouble building a toy rocket...

I'd suggest that a func_push on a simple physics entity should do it.

Great, I'll try that. You'd think the thruster entity itself would be a little more self-explanatory...

yes, you would think.

I had another idea, you could make it follow path_corner!

physics_cannister is probably your best choice...
It shouldn't be too hard.
Attach one to your rocket thingy and activate the thruster, when it goes high enough, kill it.
