Make it so that when a certain NPC gets killed, a hidden trap door opens. Also to make a button open a hidden trap door. Thanks.

Well, to make a button open a hidden trap door, just use the func_button stuff to open a section of wall textured the same as the rest of the wall.S:SCan't help with the NPC's though, I mostly do CS:S [addsig]

If you go to the flags tab for the door, there will be a box for "Touch Opens" As long as that box is unchecked, and you should uncheck "Shoot Opens" too, but as long as those are unchecked, the door will not budge unless the button is hit.

I'm sure if you fiddle around enough with the input/output tags then you could come up with something, unfortunately I don't know.

Here is my wild idea, but since I don't know how NPC's work it is probably totally wrong;

Name the NPC like NPC1, and then make it like open door when trigger_hurt I don't know it worked in my head. Never mind. [addsig]

i think it would look better if you had 2 door halfs on hinges that are contrained together for a trap door, then when you press button the constraint is broken - and the two doors swing down realistically utilizing that awesome physics engine that valve gave us, do what you want but i think this would look much cooler.

Npcs have an "OnDeath" output that fires when they die. So for that NPC, add an output:

Output: OnDeath
Target: name of trapdoor
Input: Open
