Note: This article still needs some more organizing in the team fortress classic segment.
Much like
func_door
, this entity allows you to make a door that rotates rather than slides.

- FX Amount (renderamt)
- FX Color (rendercolor)
- Global Entity Name (globalname) - If you're going to activate this entity even in previous/following levels, then you need this. Usually though you don't for doors, only for things like
func_tracktrain
.
- Pitch Yaw Roll (angles) - Rotates the entity by this amount as its closed position.
- Kill Target (killtarget) - The entity that this door will "kill" (aka remove from the map) when the door gets opened. Note that you can't use this parameter and the "target" at the same time, because then only the "target" will work and the kill target won't.
- Speed (speed) - Speed at which the door rotates in degrees per second.
- Delay before close (wait) - Delay before the door rotates back to its closed position (-1 makes it stay open).
- Lip (lip) - Not used.
- Damage inflicted when blocked (dmg) - How much damage the player receives if trapped in a closing door.
- Message if triggered (message)
- Delay before fire (delay) - The delay (in seconds) before the entity specified in "target" will activate.
- Fire on Close (netname) - The entity that will get activated when the door closes.
- Health (health) - With a non-zero value here, the door will have to be damaged to this extent to open. Bogus entry and not implemented.
- Minimum light level (_minlight) - The minimum light level the entity will have, even if its initial position in the editor is in a purely dark room. This is a very aggressive value, so even a value of 0.02 will make the entity relatively bright.
- ZHLT Lightflags (zhlt_lightflags)
- Light Origin Target (light_origin) - Overrides the position from which the entity will receive its lighting when the map compiles. Useful if the entity doesn't have the correct lighting in-game. This can be used with an
info_null
.
- Distance (distance) - Distance in degrees to rotate (+ve:↺).
- Give health on use (healthvalue) - [undocumented] Gives this much health to players when they open the door. Used as wall-mounted medkits in the early development of Half-Life.
Flags
- Starts open (1) - Door starts in its 'open' position.
- Reverse Direction (2) - Reverse direction of rotation.
- Don't link (4) - Restricts the door from being linked to a door with the same name (preventing it from opening as part of a pair). Bogus entry and not implemented.
- Passable (8) - Makes the door non-solid, and no longer touch-activated.
- One Way (16) - If checked, door only opens in the direction set in Distance (*-1 if Reverse Direction is also checked).
- Toggle (32) - If checked, then every time the door is triggered it toggles its open/close state, instead of only opening it.
- X axis (64) - Door will rotate on its X axis.
- Y axis (128) - Door will rotate on its Y axis.
- Use only (256) - Player must "use" to open.
- Monsters can't (512) - Monsters with arms (e.g. zombies, grunts) can't use the door.
- Not in Deathmatch (2048)
Notes
On rotation
- The
func_door_rotating
entity requires an origin brush as part of its entity. This gives it the axis to rotate on. Usually it should be where the hinges of the door is.
- The axis defaults to Z if neither of the axis flags is enabled.
- There are two ways to reverse the direction of rotating: check the Reverse Direction flag, or make the Distance property negative.
- If One Way flag is not enabled, the door will open away from the player.
- Setting Pitch Yaw Roll (angles) rotates the entity by the given amount on spawn. This allows for X or Y axis rotation to be applied off-axis (eg. at 45° Yaw). An example use case is in the Lambda Complex's Level A portal chamber.
On everything else
- A normal door, without a name, activates when touched, or bumped into. If given a name, it will be locked when bumped into and needs to be triggered by other entities such as a
func_button
. If Passable flag is set, you cannot bump into the door to open it.
- To temporarily lock a door (and unlock it later) set its master to a
multisource
entity. Of course both can be combined e.g. a door cannot be operated with the button until the master is enabled.
- A door with Use only flag set can always be used by players, and cannot be locked in the aforementioned ways.
- While moving, it can get blocked by monsters, players,
func_pushable
and some satchels, but not by any other thing. If the wait value is >0, the door will return to its previous position, otherwise it will keep crushing the entities in its way.
- It can be pressed 64 units away from its edge by the player, regardless of anything surrounding it.
- To make "shootable" doors, Use
func_rot_button
instead. You can use the moving/stopping sound values for doors just as well on buttons (and vice-versa) with SmartEdit off.
- To have linked doors (i.e. doors with the same name) open at the same time without obvious external triggers like buttons, place a
trigger_multiple
(or a passable invisible func_button
if use-activated) across the doorway, targeting the visible doors.
