I have made a simple "playground" type map using hammer. I have two cube droppers, but one of them doesn't work! (Basically, pressing the button does nothing; the hatch stays closed.) Also, I don't seem to have a file for one cube dropper (normal) and one reflector cube dropper.

On a related note, I saw a video recently about an "easy fitting door" that already has the walls around it, but I've forgotten the video name. Where would I find the easy fitting door?

Help appreciated!

I had the same problem. I tried to use the instance cube_dropper_multiple for the second dropper (or something similar) and it worked.

I don't know the video name but I know where to find the door. It is in the map Zoo_mechanics which is already in the sdk folder. You can also make it yourself by clipping the walls around the door if you want to crate an easy fitting door yourself.

As for the door, there is a better solution. Use the instances/doors/door_ents/ instances. Either with or without areaportal, like you wish.(I have only tsted the version with areaportal, but the other one should also work) Then just give the door these automatic inputs: Instance:@door_open;trigger
Instance:@door_close;trigger

Thanks. I haven't fixed the cube dropper yet, but I have fixed the door. What I need help with NOW is where do I find the signage showing the turret behind a door? I typed "signage" into the texture finder and couldn't find it and trying "turret" doesn't work either.

I think with cube droppers you just remove the @ symbol in each output. The closest signage I can find had "bridge" typed in the filter.

Thanks. That's the one I was looking for.

EDIT: How do I make a glass wall? Also, can I resize it?

By making a brush and applying a glass texture to it?
