Wooden door with lever hardware
Metal door with push bar hardware

prop_door_rotating is a point entity available in all Source games. It creates an ordinary hinged door that can be opened by players and NPCs.

Supported models

Only specific models will work properly with this entity. They are:

  • props_c17\door01_left.mdl
  • props_c17\door02_double.mdl
  • props_doors\door03_slotted_left.mdl
  • To do: Any in L4D?

(Need info on how to create new door models.)

Note:props_doors\door01_dynamic.mdl is not valid; it is meant for npc_furniture.
