Hi, I have a few mapping questions. I would be glad to have them answered.
First: Sinks. How do I make sinks so water will appear under the faucet when it is turned on? Which entities are involved? Etc.
Second: Flashlights. How would I go about making a simple flashlight? Which entities would I use to create a 'ray/beam' light effect and would the flashlight itself be created using brushes?
Third: Dryers/Toilets etc. How could I, using entities, create the effect of a dryer turning on (sound) when a button is pressed? Same for the flushing of a toilet.
Thanks.

Hey, i've seen you around moddb. Check out the tutorials link on the left. Everything you've asked is basic entity work so you'll pick it up soon enough.

For a faucet, use this waterfall tutorial:
http://twhl.info/tutorial.php?id=39
Now, you'll need to modify your waterfall by using two env_renders and two trigger_changetargets.
env_render #1 targets your waterfall and makes it visible. Give this and trigger_changetarget #1 the same name. Have trigger_changetarget #1 change the target of your faucet to trigger_changetarget #2 (which will also target env_render #1)
env_render #2 targets your waterfall and makes it invisible. Give this and trigger_changetarget #2 the same name. Have trigger_changetarget #2 change the target of your faucet to trigger_changetarget #1 (which will also target env_render #1)
For flashlights, you'll be using a light_spo to project a light in a certain direction. You'll use a func_illusionary for the visible beam of light. Change the render mode to "additive" and change the render amount to somewhere around 100.
Dryers and toilets are just a matter of using the right sounds. Trigger an ambient_generic near your device whenever you turn it on.
