I'd suggest you to make a texture mixing both the texture and the overlay You could make a couple of them to alternate the indicator lights states (and make an animated texture, a .VTF file with both frames by importing both textures)... then use the env_toogletexture to change the textures the func_brush has.

I think LP was saying to use a 1-unit-tall nodraw func_brush with the lights on the top face, which you could then parent to the moving panel. The env_texturetoggle will still affect it.

But if you make a func_brush, no matter its size, and you place an overlay on top side, the overlay won't show up in game, or what exactly do you mean?

if I am correct, LP and Felix mean that you place a func_brush for the panel surface, then wherever you want the overlay on it, place a 1 unit tall func_brush textured nodraw on all sides but the top, and the top will be textured like the overlay. Then you parent the "overlay" brush to the main brush.

sense post mine not made. sorry
but yeah;
make a func_brush out of nodraw; texture the top face with the indicator light texture, parent it to the pannel too. If you give the func_brush the same name as the other indicator lights the texturetoggle should also change the color of your func_brush.

Ok thanks ^^ Tried it, It works
