sliding/rotating

better then most door tut's , even tho there are a lot of them, dont agree on rotating doors being easier to master tho

That really stretched picture ruins the door_rotating portion of the tutorial... I'm not sure I like all the writing in the pictures, which seemed a bit overly large, and the text part of the tut could be broken up a bit better for readability. Or perhaps I'm the only one still on a dinky 1024x768

Wouldn't it be "Better Practice" to split the trigger_multiple entity into two seperate brushes (one on each side of the door) and have them both target the door?

Thats what I do

You can do it that way, but its easier just to use one.

or sloppier? lol

I was just saying, if you do it the way I mentioned it's kind of a guarontee that your door will work. thats all. it is entirely up to the mapper.

Yeah but no but yeah but ok then. Your right, it is up to the mapper.

Good tut.

just a small addition, it is important to atleast set some of a lip, i have had problems with sliding doors flying off into space and come back from a different direction when there was no lip :O can u say weird?!?!

anyways, average tut for a beginner. GJ

it seemed to help me out when i started

Wtf i tried to door_rotating and first is was in some wierd part of the map then i put originin and made error, then i put to entity and said like nothing was visible. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG!!

You forgot to lick my c**k thats what u did wrong

Thanks man. I didn't know about the Yaw thing. But now I do so I'm going to make a sliding door now. For some reason, i thought Yaw pitch and roll didnt work.

Good tut, but how do you make the "hinge" work together with the door? I know the program doesn't know it is a hinge right off the bat.. Do you have to call the brush anything? Or what do you have to do? Where is the origin texture?

Thanks
