[Cobo]

Make a func_button, give it a health value.  Give it a target, say "door1", then make a door with "targetname" "door1".  When you shoot the button, it should open the door.  In the future, please use more descriptive topic names.

[Cobo]

ok... and how do i make like an animation of the door opening.

[Cobo]

and to give a target to the button i write this?

key: target
value: door1

[jitspoe]

If you're using BSP, just click on the + button on the entities window, and add target under key and door1 under value, then for the door use targetname door1.

[Cobo]

ok i have a little problem, instead of the door being oppened when i shoot the button, the button oppens when i shoot the button!!!

moving on

i would like to know if there is a way to make the door rotate downward so it becomes a ramp, and not rotate on his axis, but to rotate on his side.
like a book.

Hm. A door rotating to become a ramp is a cool idea... func_door_rot, btw. look at www.gamedesign.net , lots of entitiy help.

[jitspoe]

There's a spawnflag (one of the checkboxes) that tells a rotating door which axis to rotate on.

[Cobo]

ok but how do i fix the problem of the button that opens a button.

[jitspoe]

Eh, the button will move when you shoot it, but it should also make the target move.  In bsp, you should see a purple arrow pointing from the button to the door if you have the target/targetname set up properly.  If not, you probably set something up wrong -- added the fields to the wrong entity or made a typo.

[Cobo]

i see the purple arrow. but the only thing that moves is the button, i did the entities from scratch like 3 times and still nothing.

[Eiii]

Then you might want to make sure that the target is doing something when trigged.

[jitspoe]

If you're doing a rotating door, you need to have an origin brush in it (a brush with the origin texture) so it knows where to rotate.  Try making a door without a button triggering it -- it should automatically open when you step close to it.  If not, then there are other issues and it won't work with a button, either.

well i kind of gave up with that idea, it was too complicated .
and i wouldnt post it anyway.
the idea of the map was to make 2 ways to the opponents flag one was the fast one in wich you should shoot a button on your base and run the fastest as you can to make it to the other way this  way is the fastest but i also exposes you a lot.
the other way was without hurries and you werent exposed at all, unless you meet face to face with the opponent ofcourse .
anyway ty all for listening.
