Moving Brushes

This seems to be a topic that doesn't get discussed much.

What I do know, you can make brushes doors. Either sliding or rotating.

For arena_medieval I made gate doors (with spikes) that slide and a treasure chest (with round lid, lots of brushes) that rotates open.

To have a rotating door that never stops would work, but I don't know if it's possible. Don't have Hammer right here either.
I imgine with some tricky entity set-up you could start the door rotating on map start (easy), then the trick is to tell it to keep opening 360 degrees each time it finishes (if you can't make it rotate more than 360).
Would probably be better to rotate it 720 each time (send trigger half as much...) or more.

To trigger something on map start you need to add an logic_auto (which you'll need anyway for HDR settings and more). Go to the Output tab of that logic_auto and add a new one that triggers your door "OnMapSpawn". For constantly rotating objects you better use the search function in the forum because we had a thread that covers how to do that (without doors) but I don't have the link right now.

I'm sure someone else can explain that much better. I have used entities very little.

I think there's a round timer or something that triggers game start, or the spawn doors or something.

Add an output from that to the 'door'. That should trigger a rotation.

My problem with only using degrees even if it can turn 1 billion degrees, eventually it'll stop rotating. And who knows how long the game will go on.

That's why I think it needs to be more of a open X degrees, trigger something that in turn triggers the door rotation again. So maybe once per 5 minutes it stops and restarts.

Sorry I can't help more than that, someone more familiar with entities should be able to connect the dots for you.

For continual rotation: my tut

Awesome Boojum, you're not that bad of a guy after all.

Now I have to add something to my map that constantly rotates!
