Hey all

I'm new here on the forum and to mapping,

I know a bit about the Basics maybe a bit more .

I am trying to make a few panels to move in and out whit a delay with one press on a button, everything is almost working as i want it to.
but when the panels moves the func_brush which is attach to the panel is going through it for split of a sec http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/542908182380629886/085BA4F51161DEDEA41CFD2F3EF73FB64E7BFD61/
I don't know what i did wrong.

I hope someone can help me.
sorry for my bad english.

Your brush too thick, make it at least 1-2 units and set solidity to always solid

do you have the brush's parent set to the name of the model and do you have a logic_auto with SetParentAttachment panel_attach?

yeah I set up brush's parent to the panel_model. and the logic_auto has SetParentAttachment panel_attach.

I also have the logic_relay set with OnTrigger, SetAnimation.

You said you added a delay, get rid of the delay and see what happens

Wait, sorry. It should be SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset. This may be your problem.

I try that and now the panel_model will not move back. i'm usein the prop_button for this. i try the floor_button to see is it still does it and it still doing it..

it's set to SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset. I did not read it as SetParentAttachment. I knew what you meant, but it still does it.

i use wiki to help me made the panel animation..

And the SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset trigger is on a logic_auto and not on the button? I don't know if that whould change anything but i guess if it SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset too late the brush will be a little behind the panel?

Yeah you need to set to attachment at spawn.
