HOW TO MAKE A VALVEWHEEL TURN ON/OFF (OPEN AND CLOSE)

Create the following in your map

1) A new texture brush and set it as a momentary_rot_button entity.

2) Ensure these flags are set:

     Not Solid       Checked      
     Toggle          Checked
     Use Activates   Checked

3) A new prop_dynamic entity and browse/set its world model/skin as model:

   valvewheel002.mdl

Bind these two objects together, making the momentary_rot_button entity as the parent of the the prop_dynamic entity.

4) Set the Name property for each of the entities. (Give each entity a unique, meaningful name.) For example:

   momentary_rot_button Name =  MyValveRotator
   prop_dynamic Name =          MyValve
   

5) Set the Parent property of the prop_dynamic entity to the name of the momentary_rot_button entity.

   prop_dynamic Parent =        MyValveRotator
   

6) Set an output statemet in the momentary_rot_button entity's OTIP settings (i.e. Output, Target, Input, Parameter override settings in the entity's Properties | Outputs tab-page). Use the following values:

  Output...    OnPressed
  Target...    MyValve
  Input...     SetAnimation
  Parameter... Open
