Um, I've got a problem... I've been trying to get a push door working but it's just not doing anything... How do I fix this?

You need a func_button too. If you're still unsure how to do it, just use this instance.

I'm interested in having my question answered.

What does that " // " mean?

It makes the input invalid (so it won't do anything), but easy to enable again. Double slashes are used to comment out lines of code in C-like languages. The programmer wanted to remove that input, but thought s/he might need it again later.

Thanks!

I have a bit of a question - someone, somewhere, talked about trimming scene files (i.e., shortening dialogue to specific bits), and so I was wondering if anybody knew how to do this? Some GLaDOS lines have exactly what I want, but other lines ruin it. For example, I want "I'll be right back. Don't touch anything.", but I don't want the whole "Perfect, the door's malfunctioning" bit.

Can anyone help? I know someone has done it before. Failing this, I could use an ambient generic, but I'd like the subtitles to work as well.

I have a rotating portalgun that doesn't link to prop_portals and I have a door that refuses to move. (Custom door model parented to a func_door.

1. Check the portal ID pair, make sure they're both the same - that should be 0.

2. Check that it's actually parented, that it's a prop_dynamic, that the func_door is getting proper inputs, that the func_door's settings actually work, and also check the flags of the func_door (just ticking off the 'turned off at the power point' type problems)

Do you mean you want the sound, or is the sound finished and you want sub-titles?

Not quite: the portal pair ID is really screwed up, you just have to play around until it links up. I think a portalgun with an ID of 1 will link with prop_portals with an ID of zero, but I don't quite remember.

You can't set a portalgun ID apparently.

change_portalgun_linkage_id # (0, 1, 2, 3)

So, is that a command? Also, does my prop_portal need the same ID?

I think so. you might need to enable cheats momentarily to allow the command though.

Well, the latter. I've got a .wav of what I want, just need to make it a scene file.
