Door floats

Heya there,

I have been trying to get a door to explode, by following this tutorial. However, when the door is blown out it bounces in the air for a while and then stands up straight.

Is there anyway to get it for properly fall on the floor?

What material is the door brush? I've never used phys_convert, I'm assuming it is inheriting mass scale values and I don't see a way to specify the mass scale post-conversion.

You can always try using a run of the mill func_physbox, have it set to asleep/disabled until it's ready to get explosion'd.

The material of the door is a prop_dynamic. I did look at the doors link listed in the tutorial, but portal 2 sdk lacks the 'func_door' property.

Func_door is a brush entity, no point entity.
In this tutorial they created a brush with a door texture and made it to a func_door that later will become a func_physbox via the phys_converter.

Thanks for that. But I still don't understand why the door floats around for a bit, and then stands up like it was placed there.

I think because it's a prop_dynamic. Phys_convert seems to be just for use with func brushes. (Not tested).
