Ok, heres the scoop. I need to make a brush move in game, but all I want it to do is go one way when I push a button, and go the other way when you push the button again. A fx_train wont work (at least to my knowlege) because I dont want it to go in a circle, and a fx_platform goes up and down, while the brush i want to move needs to go horizontially.
Let the flaming begin.

ok the answer is scripting now to find out how to do this search the forums for icarus scripiting and behaved. hope it helps

There must be an easier way like a door perhaps? Just set a huge lip on the door. You can use the TOGGLE feature for the start and end features. So only when you are in the trigger pressing use it will move.

and put a high wait, or else it just goes right back :P

No, no wait key. When you use the TOGGLE option it should ONLY move when you press USE and stop at the lip. If you want it to do the wait you can do that also.

I think you can make a func_platform go sideways with the directional keys, right? but yeah, lauser seems to have figured it out the easy way. Hmmm...


Ill map it real fast and let you guys know.

Yup, worked like a charm. Just make sure on your trigger multiple, you have "use_switch" (or something like that) checked, and give the trigger a wait of maybe 2, that means you cant use the trigger for 2 seconds. Other wise, if you dont give the trigger the wait, and you press the button, it will think you have pressed it a lot, causing the door to move back and forth.

Nice thinking lauser, heh, I was about to make a script and everything :-D

Ah...good. Makes things much easier then. :D

Hooray! Thanks a lot guys!
