Doors triggered by a button

Hi all (thx for all who posted feedback on my map :smile: )

How would i make a button which when pressed opens a door? I have a
counter which i want to put a secret button underneith, which when
pressed unlocks the backdoor (ala Soldier Of Fortune) but i have no
idea how you make parented objects, all i know how t do is make a
"func_door_rotating"

what kind of entity should my button me etc?

It's got nothing to do with "parenting".

All you do is make the button (func_button?) and make it target your door.

1. click on the button and go to the outputs tab.

2. Click add, and fill in the information. You will be specifying the event that causes the trigger to fire (eg "OnPress"), the name of the object to target, and what should happen to that object (eg open). I may be missing some of the fields you need, but I'm sure you'll figure it out.

ok, it works but, once i press my button it dissapears and the door
appears to be unlocked to begind with (think ive resolved that by
ticking the "starts locked" box in the door settings), how do i resolve
dissapearing button problem?

theres a flag on the button that says not to move :smile:

thx guys, fixed it, although, you shouldnt really be helping me as my map will be teh winner of the comp :smile: (in my dreams)

well im only mapping for CSS so mine won't count :smile:

i want my button to Unlock AND open in one push of the button, can i do
that? so far ive only managed to work wheny uo press it twice (once to
unlock, and once to open) can't i string paramters like;

OnPressed : Unlock, Open ??

Add a second output of the func_button, also targeting the door. Add a
slight delay (0.1 seconds or something) to be sure the "unlock" happens
before the "open".

If your having trouble making a door...........naw just too mean to say :biggrin: good luck though.
