Smooth doors? Created 14 years ago2010-02-19 14:37:37 UTC by Instant Mix

Does anybody know how to create smooth doors , this not being how it is shaded.
This being how it moves.

Standard source doors go "stop - sound - move at speed - sound - stop".
However, is it possible for does to go "stop - sound - accelerate to top speed - move at top speed - decelerate - sound stop"?

you could probably get that with a func_movelinear. This is taking into consideration that you are not using it as a rotating door. As long as it moves up or down or forward and backwards you shouldn't have a problem. When you assign the sound to the func_movelinear it will automatically speed up and slow down the sound you assign.

You can adjust the "door" speed with the input if you wanted to make it accelerate/decelerate. Would just take a little tinkering.

Hope this helps...not sure if that is what you are looking for.

It'd require alot of logic though. I could see it being done in garrysmod , but how the hell I'd do that with the logic entities I'm not sure of.
First thing I can think of is do a sin from 0 to 1 , then keep it there (unsure of) , then doing sin from 1 to 0 , then multiply all this by the maximum speed and we have what appears to be a smooth door.

You could always make it a func_tracktrain, set up some path_tracks, and play with the "Change Velocity" field. You cant really control the rate of acceleration, but it'll probably be closer to what you're looking for.

I'll see how that works , grim.
