My problem: Ok guys heres my problem now, I have a func_doorrot in my map, when I trigger it, it rotates the 90 degrees, no problem there. Theres a flag also checked to make the entity to rotate the opposite direction. I also got a looping effect put on it, so that it opens, then closes 3 seconds later... then it loops and does it again. Now heres my problem. Everyonce and a while, the door will rotate the wrong way. But I only want it to open and close to the right.

This entity is for a robotic arm sequence with env_renders, consisting of three entities:
1. func_door_rot X axis
2. func_door_rot Z axis (problem entity)
3. func_door_rot X axis

Help needed fast!

It's probably hitting another brush. Doors close/rotate teh opposite direction when they collide with something.

Try making The door "Non Solid" so it won't collide (tick the 'Passable' flag)

But are you gonna be able to touch it?

I fixed it guys.. I clicked a debug flag in the multi_manager, and it has'nt screwed up since.. thanks anyways.

debug flag? whats that do?

It's probably hitting another brush. Doors close/rotate teh opposite direction when they collide with something.

If your rotating robo object is indeed hitting something, you can start it 'inside' the brush it's hitting a little. In this way, anything the rotaing object is already 'inside' will not stop the impede the door whatsoever.

Hope this helps.

I'm not sure what the debug flag does, but now the problem is now non-existent.

Well, at least I can read...sorry!
