A want a to have a brush go down (out pf player view) and then activate a template to spawn a turret on it. Then it goes back up into the player view. You have to place a portal on the func_door to kill the turret... How? It wont let me place a portal on it even though it is the right texture

Maybe the func_door can't take portals. Actually, are you trying to place the portal while the door is moving? If so, you'll need to set sv_allow_mobile_portals 1.

If that doesn't work, you could try func_movelinear or creating an invisible brush with the "nodraw portalable" texture, parenting it to the door, and setting sv_allow_mobile_portals to 1.

You can definitely shoot portsls on func_brushes. So just make the current moving entity invisible and parent a func_brush to it.

Thats a very good idea!

No... When the doors is moving it will get out of the player view and you wont be able to place a portal on it...

Edit: it works! Awesome!

there's a tools texture called 'nodrawportalable' or similar.

It's invisible in-game, but allows portals. Try making a func_brush sticking out a few units in front of your door, and parent that.
