[QUOTE=Mr Anonymous;32536439]That should not crash the server; If it is just simply a person blocking the doors closing, it deffinitly should not crash your server. Firstly suggest you check that up with your server provider. Secondly you can delete the lift / buttons or even block it so people can not use it. But, this means you will have to do that everytime the server restarts / crashes, so, that is not very effective. I don't think there are any scripts on Facepunch that can help you, but, you could have a look around the Internet, just search on Google.

He would need to know the Entity name of either the Lift, Lift Doors or Lift Buttons. Without decompiling the map itself, it's impossible to find out.

Decompiling the map is fine is its to find out how soemthing was done, or the name of an entity. The only time it is not fine is if you are planning on ripping soemone off.

You might also look at entspy:

Or typing find_ent func_door, assuming that's what you're looking for, which will output the targetnames of all func_doors in the map.

This method kind of assumes the mapper has a decent naming convention for entities though, although I'm sure you could eventually figure it out.

Thanks to 3kliks, only the really good mappers seem to use good solid naming conventions. I'm sure the pro would have though.

lua_run print(Entity(1):GetEyeTrace().Entity:Name());
To get the name of the entity you're looking at (in singleplayer);

Or you use ent EntIndex to remove the buttons.

Or you change the flags to force the door to close with lua. (I think that causes the crash, right?)
