Does anyone know how to make vertical moving platforms like those seen in Test Chamber 15?
I can't figure it out and the FAQ on the Wiki just says to ask on the forums.

How would I make the support? Prop_dynamic? Wouldn't it need to shrink and expanded as the platform gets lower and higher?

Actually I'm sorry, I thought you were talking about the platforms that move along a path. For what you are doing you should use just a func_door.

Ok thanks. I have one more question. How do you make the poison goo? I made a trigger_hurt, but I'm not sure how to make the visible part.

You spin around twice and dance, then say "the Valve wiki Holds the answers!"

If it did have all the answers, I wouldn't be asking here

On the other hand, the TWP forums do, so I think I'm set for now.
