You can't use gifs (or pngs or jpegs) in Portal 2. You need to make a VTF and VMT.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Convert your GIF to VTF, and make a UnlitGeneric VMT.

I've been trying to put the vgui_movie_display entity to display on the moving brush (to make it into some sort of video communicator type thing) but it just doesn't display. I've used a vgui_movie_display before and it's worked fine, the only difference is this time it's got a parent - the moving brush.

It is VERY possible to make that system to work, I just made it. Maybe you are not parenting the entities correctly or firing the correct outputs.

I parented my vgui_movie_display to the func_brush.

The func_brush to the func_tracktrain

The func_tracktrain has as first stop its due path_track

The path_track1 leads to path_track2

A prop_button move the train and enable/disable the vgui_movie_display and everything works like a charm!

Make sure that you also put the correct video movie name and full path and file extension (for example: media/valve.bik)

Good luck

Where does the func_tanktrain come in? As in, what is it's purpose?

func_tracktrains basically move along a path defined by path_tracks. They're useful if you want to move things more than in one direction. In this case you could attach your communicator to a rail and make it follow the player around, like what Whealtey does in the BTS area.
