Door with a handle that moves.

Hi there.

I've been searching and searching for how to create a door that opens upon "use" and has a doorhandle that rotates as it opens. Anyone who can help me?

Thanks a bunch!

I guess it's an animated prop using a door model with an "open" animation. That tutorial talks about a prop_door_rotating (here's the example file[/url]) Just search for a model with a doorhandle animation.

Why snark works.

Ok, got it, but how do I scale props? Doesn't work to just drag the ends around.

props can't be scaled.

Oh.. And there's no way to create a door like that with brushes?

you could parent a small func_door_rotating (the handle), to a larger one (the door).

the handle doesn't need a name, unless you plan on making it lockable or something, but name the door door1. also, unckeck all the flags in the door properties.

have the handle set to 'open on use' in the flags. there's also X or Y axis options there. one of them should be checked too, but which one would depend on how the door is oriented in the map.

in the outputs tab of the handle, hit the Add button, and select the values;

my output named: OnOpen
target entities named: door1
via this input: Open

as long as you remembered to parent the handle to door1, it should all work.
