door with moving handle using spirit Created 19 years ago2004-05-22 06:57:09 UTC by badong

how do i make rotating door knob attached to a door in spirit? i tried the "moves with" key but nothing happens.

Then you made it wrong

You want a rotating door also? Sorry, SoHL doesn't feature "rotate with". Actually not when I last downloaded it.

i tot "moves with" makes the two entities attached to each other

i need to try that spirit thing. sounds easy.

...and cool shine effect. but the func_shine wont affect the windows only the floors and water.

The readme of Spirit says clearly it isn't recommended to use "move with" with a rotating object (a door, for example). I think you'll have to do it the old way, two origins and a trigger.

It can be pretty much faked by using env_renders, trains that are teleported and such. It's the hard way but there doesn't really seem to be an easy way for this.

cp. you never heard o spirit?? LOL

Sure I did. But SoHL doesn't feature 'rotate with', wich is what badong needs here.

And, you still can do a heavy lot of things with plain, basic HL. Just requires some more trickery...

wtf is "spirit" ?:confused:

Look, man just make it a func_door_rotating with the same origin as the door.

ashgod, im afraid thats the hardway

I didn't read it completely, 15 ents for a knob? man, just make a button

Not very hard.

Either go for a simpler thing like a button next to the door, or do it the hard way. Currently, I don't know of an easy way for this. Not even with SoHL.

When you make the rotating door knob a func_door_rotating with the same origin as the door, it will rotate as if the door swings open when you use it, not rotate as if you'd turn it. In that fact, you'd better attach the knob brushes to the door, making one entity of them.
