In half-life, everybody remembers the rotating signs shown here: http://i.imgur.com/LdkU1.jpg

I'd like to re-create something similar using the source engine.

I've toyed with func_rotating and using a logic_timer, but no avail..

Anyone want to help/give advice? Thanks!

Hmm, have you tried func_door_rotating? You're able to set the angle (distance) the door (whatever shape) turns, so that allows for two predetermined stopping angles. Or in this case, two faces of a triangle. Just turn off the flags that enable player or NPC interaction and stick with the logic_timer and toggle the "doors" at once to achieve the effect.

Yep, figured it out. 4 individual func_doors, triggered by a logic auto, and then a timer. Thanks!
