rotating doors. Created 19 years ago2004-07-07 17:35:08 UTC by gmans_Agent

I have been mapping for a while now, and just found this site. I hope I will be pleased.

I have a problem with a Half-Life SP map.

I have a rotating door. I have never used a rotationg door before.

When I start the game, the door is not where it is suppose to be.

how do I work this door?

Did you include the origin brush?

is that the green texture thing?

How do you work those?

now I see. That must be the problem.

Try taking a look at the tutorials page...

Teh center of the origin brush is the point on which the door or rotating object will rotate upon.

it is also used in such things as fun_tracktrains.

fun_tracktrains?

I looked around.

I'll play around a little, and see if I get it to work.

thanks for all of your help, CiRCuiT, RabidMonkey777, and BrattyLord, if I could figure out what he is saying.

I see this is a very good site for help with mapping.

I will vote for it in Half-Life Top 200.

Again, the point it rotates upon.

func_tracktrain - look at the HL Entity Guide

Sure is a good site. The very center of an origin brush acts as the center of gravity or rotation in an entity brush. That means you can have a huge origin brush... the very center of it will be the origin of the entity.

So you can make it 10 times the size of the train and as long as it's in the center, it will still work. Granted, it's easier visibility-wise and editing-friendly-wise to make it a small one. I think the smallest they can get and work accurately is a 3x3x3 unit cube. There are some door tuts around on rotating doors if you still can't get it to work, if not here, than on Snarkpit or any other editing site. I assume we have an example map on doors, also. (heh, I'm too lazy to go check...sleepytime)

Kinda, but it's appended to the tutorial rather than seperately in the 'vault.

okay.

I get it now, and I got it to work.

Thank you CiRCuiT, RabidMonkey777, BrattyLord, and the liberal Seventh-Monkey.

I like this site.

lol, you should change your av back sm.

It finnaly works to my perfection.

how do I get an av?
