The momentary_rot_button was designed to control the
momentary_door, or, thanks to the Door Hack, another momentary_rot_button. The door (or door-hack button) moves relative to the position of the momentary_rot_button controlling it. i.e., if the player lets go of the button, the door begins to close.
Attributes
- Name (targetname) - Property used to identify entities.
- Pitch Yaw Roll (angles) - Sets the pitch (up / down), yaw (left / right) and roll (bank) respectively. The compass in WorldCraft / Hammer corresponds to Yaw. The settings are not always (or not all) used.
- Render FX (renderfx) - Gives objects special render effects. Think of it as modifying whatever the Render Mode puts out. The options are as follows:
- 0 = Normal
- 1 = Slow Pulse
- 2 = Fast Pulse
- 3 = Slow Wide Pulse
- 4 = Fast Wide Pulse

- 0 = Normal
- 1 = Color
- 2 = Texture
- 3 = Glow
- 4 = Solid
- 5 = Additive
- Master (master) - The name of a multisource (or game_team_master) entity. A master must usually be active in order for the entity to work. Thus they act almost like an on/off switch, in their simplest form, and like an AND gate in the case of the multisource. Note: momentary_rot_buttons can always be used, regardless of the state of their master.
- Targeted Object (target) - Normally, the momentary_door you want to control.

- Distance(deg) (distance) - Distance in degrees the button will rotate.
- Auto-return speed (returnspeed) - Speed at which the button will return to its starting position after being used.
- Minimum Light (_minlight)
Flags
- Door Hack (1) - With this flag enabled, multiple momentary_rot_buttons can have the same Target value, and they will all move when one is used.
- Not useable (2) - Button must be triggered to work.
- Auto return (16) - Button returns to its starting position automatically.
- X axis (64) - If enabled, the rotation will be on the X axis.
- Y axis (128) - If enabled, the rotation will be on the Y axis.
Notes
- If neither of the axis flags is enabled, rotation will default to the Z axis.
- An origin brush needs to be part of the entity to specify its axis of rotation.
- This entity is pretty similar to the func_rot_button.
- A momentary_rot_button or momentary_door cannot be disabled by disabling its master.
- It is possible to unlink this button from its door with a trigger_changetarget. Linking it to a door again will snap that door into place, depending on the position of the button.

- Remove item from APA (axhitme) - The Item # of an item_tfgoal entity. When the entity is activated, if the Activating Player is carrying the specified item, it will be removed from him. What happens to it then is determined by the Goal Activation property of the item.
- Master (master) - The name of a multisource (or game_team_master) entity. A master must usually be active in order for the entity to work. Thus they act almost like an on/off switch, in their simplest form, and like an AND gate in the case of the multisource.

This is common knowledge amongst pro mappers but the momentary_* setup is used on Uplink and Blue Shift for the dialing-in sequences through an off-the-playable-area setup where the momentary_doors push a
func_pushable
through severaltrigger_multiples
that have "pushables" flag set. One of them is the "correct, dialed in" position, the others unset it.One very basic application for this that I can think of is replicating HL2 Route Kanal sliding gate setup locking at its open position by having a
trigger_once
at the very end of the momentary_door, and when the func_pushable touches it, kills the momentary_* entities and replaces them withfunc_wall_toggles
of the setup frozen at their final positions.
