HELP-Newb Question Created 20 years ago2004-02-26 02:28:10 UTC by MyNameIsSteve!

im tryin to make a platform so that u push a button and it slides to the side, then returns
sorry im newbish..how should i go about doin this??

Hmmm seems to me that the only excuse for people NOT reading the tutorials is "Im a newbie"...

Be nice:-) everyone has to start somewhere, and if you don't know that all you need to do is make a door, then the forum is a great place to start ed:(Andy)

LOL yes I'm not trying to bag out Steve BUT the amount of threads that have been started recently by heaps of people could have easily been answered by searching the forums or checking the tuts

Im nice im nice

I used to be a forum-o-phobe read tuts whenever I could

#damn I am the dog, hound of hell you cry, devil on your back, I can never die#

Seventh-Monkey linked to the 'func_train' tutorial, but it sounds like a 'func_door' may work as well, and they are simpler. Now click on the "browse all" button under the tutorials and get reading!

Very true.

i have read em all at least 2 times ore more

the main difference between doors and trains is that trains move to the pathcorneres given, while doors movement is controlled by thier size, for example, a 30 unit wide door will move 30 units providing it moves on its width. if its only 5 units high itll move 5 units up or down, depending on which direction its set.

Unless you set a lip. Negative lip will make the door move further than its own depth, a positive lip will mean, well, for example a 30-unit door with a lip of 5 would only move 25 units. With a lip of -5 it'd move 35.

Isnt it reverse?
A 30 dorr with 5 lip moves 35 units?

Nope.
