No origins are not required nor even needed. In the Spirit of Half-life mod you can choose to use the origin as the reference point but in normal Half-life it uses the center of the entire entity no matter what.

Just wanted to clear that up. Great tut.

There's a simpler method using func_door entity and toggle flag to make an elevator between two floors, this tutorial is less prone to errors though.

Because func_plats always do 1 hp damage when they hit something. People might want to change that, which is why you use a func_train.

Good tut.

Lagrabit you should use a func_button and have it target the elevator. Nice tutorial BTW!
