besides the fact that it makes the textures go werid, what other problems might i run into by useing func_door 's as lifts?

i fixed the lighting and texture

They are harder to use and require more fiddling with as lifts.

the idea behind a door is that it moves the exact number of units its worth. i.e a door 30 units wide set to move sideways will move 30 units. this can be adjusted by adding/subtracting lip (check the glossary on this one?)

Right, but it takes more work to make the lip value perfect to make the lift look proper on a lift door than just making a func_train and setting up path corners and doing it that way.

thanks, i am still fiddling with my ideas, at this point i will use doors, but i will try func_train 's when i have time

best using func trains. not very time consuming yknow.

ya, if you use func_train like ministeve said it will take 5 seconds!!

You can also use func_plats.
I prefer func_doors for simple lifts and func_train for more complex ones.
I think that finding out the correct lip value is not a real problem.
It definitively doesn't take longer than setting up the path for the train.

Heh, I always make my lifts complex...which is why I suggested teh train method

I think it's also sumthin bout the origin brush's location....dunno

The func_train doesn't need an origin brush to work.
But afaik the sound it makes is emitted from the origin, so I always add one.
