How to make realistic doors for RP map?

Garry's Mod mapping
#1

I’ve gone and looked for tutorials on how to make regular doors like the ones used in RP maps. The only tutorials I found were for the sliding and rotating doors which I already know how to do. Can someone tell me how to make the realistic doors? Or is it rotating door then adding a few things to it?

I would appreciate it if you could help me.

Thanks,

Prop_Door_rotate

i think

Yeah, but how do I add the moving door handles?

I’m making a warehouse and just finished the rotating door with sounds, I just need the handle!!!

Thanks for your reply, though.

Prop_Door_Rotate adds them auto

Along with animations

In the properties for prop_door_rotating, you can set the “Hardware Type” keyvalue. You can have Handle, Pushbar, Keypad or None.

Oh, thanks! That helped.

Also, does anyone know which direction to place the line for a garage door that I need to move up?

What?

He means the rotation origin for a garage door, I think.

I’d say in the centre, slightly back (about 16 units) into the garage, about 2/3 up the door.

It’s just one problem after another…I’ve chosen a door material, but it never looks right. One side will have black around it, so I go into the Face Edit Sheet, click Fit then apply, but nothing changes. Hardware Type isn’t even in the Keyvalues. I checked up on a page that had the options for func_door_rotating and it said there is Hardware Type in there, but I don’t see it.

Problem #1: Door materials are specially set up to be right for doors of a certain size. Take a look at the texture “dev_measuredoor” for the correct size values. You should then be able to apply the door texture, align it left and bottom and it should fit perfectly.

Problem #2: Make sure SmartEdit is enabled in the properties window. It’s just to the right of the big white box with all the keyvalues in.

#11

I’ve had it in SmartEdit ever since I started making the map and still don’t see it.

#12

Because the Hardware Type belongs in the prop_door_rotating keyvalues. But if you wanted to make the door brush-based, make a brush that has a height of 112 and a width of 56, then select the front and back faces, and search up dev or door in the texture browser and select the dev/door texture. Then just clip along the lines to create your basic door frame, and vertex edit a bit.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, refer to this tutorial.
