lever switch(need help)
hello, im working on a underground map where i have to activate lights,gelpumps and more with lever switches, also called circuit breaker's
how do i make them?
edit: use door_rotating and the circuit breaker box
the prop_door wont rotete the way i want it to rotate...

I think he's talking about the circuit breaker kind, like the levers you see in cooperative (pull both at the same time). In that case, I have no idea. I just tried to implement one the other day to no avail. I recommend just decompiling a Valve map and checking how they did it.
yes! i didnt remember what i was called.
yes i need a circuit breaker trigger for my singleplayer map,but i dont know how to make them
The way Id do is is to have a small invisible func_door_rotating at the base of the lever with the lever parented to it, and a invisible func_button covering the entirety of the breaker that triggers it, and whatever the breaker does.
The way Valve does it is to use a nodraw func_door_rotating at the pivot point, with the "use opens" flag. Then the lever model is parented to it, using prop_dynamic_override (i'm not sure why), and a prop_static for the breaker box itself.
Additional effects used are env_spark, and a couple of env_sprites (red and green) to show the status of the switch.
couldsomeone make a prefab?
i have tried func_door_rotating
prop_door_rotating
func_rotating_button
but nothing rotates the way i want it to rotate....
i really hate to make those underground gates too because THEY ROTATE THE WRONG WAY and they are ROTATING AROUND THE WRONG POINT....
Underground Gates: Did you move their origins and check the correct axis in the "flags" tab???
Lever: Did you move the func_rotating or the origin to where you want the axis of rotation, check the correct axis in the "flags" tab, and also, if necessary, click the "reverse direction" flag?

i moved the orgin,but it rotates around something else and not the orgin...
What about the axis and direction?
