How do you make animated textures? Not, like, create one, just put one in a map. I need one for a conveyor belt.

It teaches you how to make one and use it

This helps, but I need the texture from the conveyor belt in the game

I don't think the conveyor belt is a texture, an entity or instance

the entity func_conveyor is a tie. So, yes it *is * an entity, but it has an animated texture.

Then it is not an animated texture but a stationary repeating texture. Did you look up conveyor in the textures menu?

No need to repeat
First, create the brush and tie it to the func_conveyor, then Set the speed and Direction in the properties.
These textures should be stretched when they are used from 0.25 to about 2.00 along the movement direction.

It should work, but if it doesn't I recommend to decompile one of the portal 2 maps
Like the one with the different turret or the part where Wheatley tries to kill you

I don't know of any good decompilers. What do you use?

It seems that is uses a prop_dynamic. It has a player clip under it that initializes the whole thing. Interesting, yet complicated.

I decompiled a Valve map

The Valve maps don't employ a surface with a scrolling texture, they use a bunch of props parented to a movement entity.

The easiest way to scroll an arbitrary texture is with material proxies. I used TextureScroll to scroll the walls up when falling down a shaft in one of my previous maps.

Which map was that?
And can you apply the effect gradually or did you just suddenly have a brush with the "scrolling" texture to simulate falling faster and faster?

Look, I am a relatively new mapper so, I do not know how to do any of that.
