Editing Doors After the Fact

Yea I'm having a bit of a problem here. I was testing my map and
noticed the doors go too far and you can see the wall through
them. No biggie, just was gonna change the distance. But
there was a problem, when I double click my func_door_rotating entities
the entity menu doesnt come up, just a menu that says Object
properties: 6 sided brush. Now the door I know works, whats the
deal?

Also, instead of having to do a distance, is there way to set doors to
go until they hit another brush? That would be ideal sincethe
door hinges are on one side and the door would be able to move further
from the one side. Or do you guys tend to put hinges in the
middle?

if you are describing a rotating door in the firtst line then you just tell it not to rotate more than 90?. if its a sliding door than just give it a lip, prolly 1 or 3 will be good.

and the thing saying just brush with 6 sides means that it lost its information somehow, just tie it to an entity again

Do you have group ignore on? Top-right of the hammer window, make sure "groups" is pressed in. Then you can select entities and change their properties.

Theres no way to force a door to stop when it hits a brush, youll just have to do what warlord said and set the door properties so it cant go further. The location of the hinge sets where the door rotates around, I'd only put the hinge in the middle if the door was supposed to rotate around the middle.

i think by 'in the middle' Ragna means in relation to the doors deapth, instead of having the hinge on a corner (as viewed from above). putting it 'in the middle' this way would solve the problem too.

Thanks wilson, didn't even think of doing that. much obliged.

you could also instead of having a func_door_rotating you could have a func_physbox and 2 phys ballsockets along the hinge and set them up and when in game you can shoot it and walk into it and it would swing freely untill i collided

however that isnt very multiplayer friendly
