I've sen this done before, but can't find a tutorial on it.

How do you move a wall or an object (e.g emacipation grill, discouragement grid, excursion funnel)?

Like in portal, that energy pellet launcher in test chamber 17 rotating

Parent everything you want to move to a func_door, func_door_rotating, func_rotating, func_tracktrain, etc. Basically, you parent everything that you want to move to the thing that actually does the moving.

Is there also a way to slow down the animation. Not delay it, like make it slower per frame

Change the speed on the entiry you have parented it to.

ie; func_door_rotating > Speed > 15

Also, since you could not find any tutorials... try searching the entities WinstonSmith proposed in youtube... you'll find more then enough videotutorials :smile:

Also also, i would suggest using the func_door, func_door_rotating, etc. for simple brush movements and the func_tracktrain or func_tanktrain for advanced brush movements (following a path and such)

I'd stay away from func_tanktrain; I think its only difference from a tracktrain is it shoots at you. Which isn't really applicable or enjoyable and I'm not even sure if it still works in Portal 2.
