Help with rotating sign! Created 14 years ago2010-07-26 15:58:03 UTC by free_man_cdn

Hello everyone,

In half-life, everybody remembers the rotating signs shown here: http://i.imgur.com/LdkU1.jpg

I'd like to re-create something similar using the source engine.

I've toyed with func_rotating and using a logic_timer, but no avail..

Anyone want to help, give advice? Thanks!

A func_door_rotating and a timer should be all that you need.

The func_door_rotating will turn a number of degrees and stop. You can then toggle it back the other way too (hence two signs).

The rotating door bit will be a little different with the I/O setup in source, but the rest should be the same.

Awesome thanks.

Would I just have the logic_timer the parent of the func_door_rotating? Or would I just trigger the logic_timer?

Actually.. you may be able to get the door to toggle itself after a certain amount of time. You could tell it to trigger itself with a ~5 second delay as an output. All you would have to do then is trigger it the first time as the map loads, and then it will take care of itself.

^ Yep, I got it. I used a logic_auto to trigger the door. The door then outputs a command to the logic_timer, which starts the timer sequence.

Thanks for your quick reply!
