I have a euphanizer set up in my map, all the triggers and whatnot are set, but I can't seem to get it to open. It appears closed, but you can walk through it. How would I go about setting it to open?

You need to use animations to open and close it.
The input is "set animation" and the parameters are "open" or "close"

As for walking through it, the model is not solid by default, and you should build a solid surrounding for it using nodraw. You will also need to use nodraw func_doors, that open and close at the same time as the model animations, for the top part that opens.

See the button and door tutorial on the wiki, as the principle is the same, other that the animation thing.

Well where would I put the door, and where would it go?

When I tried to put an incinerator/ephenizor in my map, and triggered it to 'setanimation' 'open', it kept replaying the open animation over and over, instead of just playing it once and staying open. How do i get it to stay open?

Euthanize, euthanized, euthanizer

Make 2 doors, and put them in the iris part of the model, oriented on the same angle. Make them as two halves of an octagon. When you trigger the open animaton, make these 2 doors slide outwards to either side, to allow objects to fall through.

Either you have mistakenly selected "set default animation" instead of "set animation", or your triggering mechanism is repeating itself somewhere.

To anyone reading this, I suggest using Invisible instead. NoDraw can make things you WANT visible go invisible.

if im not mistaken, it was actually refered to as an 'incinerator' in the game... they wanted you to euthanize your cube in the incinerator.

GLaDOS consistently refers to them as "Aperture Science Emergency Intelligence Incinerator[s]."

But that's a bit of a mouthful, so "incinerator" or "euthanizer" are fine with me. (Although technically a euthanizer should be for killing the Companion Cube only.)

How about a Fifteen Hundred Megawatt Aperture Science Heavy-Duty Super Colliding Super Button?

The effects of prolonged exposure to the button are not part of this thread.
