What I am trying to do is move an object from point A to point B using a func_button. I know how to tie the button in the O/I part. What I dont know is what entity, func or whatever I need to use to get my object/brush to move!! HELP ME PLEASE!!

Um...if it's a linear move you can use func_movelinear, but otherwise you can use a func_tracktrain combined with path_track entities. BTW, you set the train's First Stop Target to the path_track where you want it to start, and you set where you want it to go next in the settings of the path_track entity.

With a func_movelinear... how do you set it to move on a trigger? I mean I dont see any flags in it to tell it to start inactive!!

It always starts inactive. You have to get another object to activate it with the Open output. Yes, unfortunately that func_movelinear site isn't complete. Here are the inputs that you might be interested in...(gotten from the in-Hammer help)

Open Move the brush to the end position (starting position + (move direction * move distance)).

Close Move the brush to the starting position.

SetPosition <string> Move the brush to a specific position between 0.0 and 1.0, where 0 is the starting position and 1 is the starting position + (move direction * move distance).
