The settings are easy to figure out, just remeber to set the dont move flag.
Now make your door, name it door1.
now go back to the button and set up two outputs.
on press ----(trigger)---> door1 -----> close
on press ----(trigger)---> door1 -----> lock ---(delay)---> 2

it's not in the list of point entities, but no-one said it was. try actually following the advice that people give you, instead of bitching at them. myrk plays drums and listens to heavy metal, so we don't expect him to be civilized.

Dont take Myrk too seriously.

come on... I didn't add that it was in the drop down menu because that would insult even the noobest noob's intelligence, but I did tell you exactly how to make it.
I mean does anyone even read this stuff, I even made some of the words different colors!

And halexmorph should take an advice and forget mapping. If you can't do a SINGLE BUTTON without a help of a whole community and buncha posts especially for you... Hammer is not the program for you.

But my criticism was fine, I said its on a drop menu, I didn't say where, but as I said- self tuition. If your gunna cry to mommy every time you have a problem then your not gunna get anywhere. Some things you have to find out yourself, use your logic!

ok, i never bitched at him first of all, i merely said the same thing he said to me in reverse. secondly, he said it was in the "drop down list." If i'm supposed to take his advice i need to understand it. its not my fault if he wasn't being clear enoughf or a noob. i assumed he meant the list right on the right side of the hammer editor screen.
and:
to those of you who actually helped (rs6, drglass, omegaslayer, and rival) thank you. to the rest of you, stop complaining. This is the first mapping i've ever done and Hammer has terrible help files. Try growing up a little and stop making these forums so difficult to post in. maybe next time i'll think twice before admitting i need help and seeking for it here if i'm going to be harassed for it.

Its not much of a threat to say your not going to ask for help beucase there may be some mis-understanding and back lash. I love to help people but no one is going to care if you stop asking for help.

my post was originally worse, because i hadn't realised that you were paraphrasing myrk. i still intended it to refer you back to previous posts though, one of which you have now marked as the right answer. it appeared less offensive then than it does now, but that's possibly due to my comparing it with the first draught. ![]()
a good tip for someone as new to the editor as you seem to be, would be to have a right good read at the hammer docs, with shortcut keys being a main focus of your attention. the explainations of the keys give you a wealth of info in relation to what can be done in the editor (and may save you a little time with mouse clicks).

none of this s**t is very user friendly at all. Worldcraft sucked too. Noone should ever feel bad for finding themselves lost, frustrated, or even downright suicidal after trying to make a map. even the simple explanations some of us give as answers aren't really all that simple at all. just because we understand something completely doesn't mean we have any talent at all in teaching it. a lot of the answers I read require even more answers to all of the stuff the teacher took for granted that I'd know.
I long for the day when there is a program for mapping that works easily and correctly and actually has a comprehensive manual to read with it

What Valve and other comps. do is art but if they maid it to easy they be in risk at putting themselves out of a job. Besides once you get a grip on it, it's not that hard to understand. It's just a b@#ch to get it working the way you want it too.
Posted by Stadric on Thu Jul 26th at 3:41am 2007
Valve does not owe you anything.
You should appreciate everything they do for the modding community, and that they haven't forgotten where they came from.
As for a manual, the Source SDK is one of the most extensively documented collection of game developing tools ever. Just because you don't know where it is, that doesn't mean it isn't there.
So as not to be as callous as I would otherwise want to be, here is an overabundance of information on the subject.
The Valve Developer Wiki
Half-Life 2 World, home of the other developer wiki
Interlopers, home of the famous Error Page
Just for kicks and giggles, I'll save you some time with the next few most important links.
Zombie's Optimizing Page
The Steam forums
