Creating Panels rotate

1. Create a prop_dynamic entity with the following settings:

Property Name	Value
Name	trans_panel
Pitch Yaw Roll (X Y Z)	90 0 0

Open model browser and choose following settings:

Property Name	Value
World Model	models/anim_wp/simple_panel_transforms/simple_panel.mdl

Go under "model" tab and select:

Model	Value
Sequence	BindPose

2. Create a block brush(custom size) and align it with the model. Tie it to a func_brush entity with the following settings:

Property Name	Value
Name	trans_brush
Parent	trans_panel

3. Create a logic_auto entity and set up the output as follows:

	My Output	Target Entity	Target Input	Parameter	Delay	Only Once
	OnMapSpawn	trans_brush	SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset	panel_attach	0.00	No
	OnMapSpawn	trans_panel	SetAnimation	BindPose	0.00	No

4. Create a ambient_generic entity with the following settings:

Property Name	Value
Name	trans_sound_end
Sound name	World.SpeedFlingRotatingPanelStop
Volume	2

5. Return to prop_dynamic entity and set up the output as follows:

	My Output	Target Entity	Target Input	Parameter	Delay	Only Once
	OnAnimationDone	trans_sound_end	PlaySound		0.00	No

6. Create a prop_button entity and set up the output as follows:

	My Output	Target Entity	Target Input	Parameter	Delay	Only Once
	OnPressed	trans_panel	SetAnimation	rotate_180	0.00	No
	OnPressed	trans_panel	SetAnimation	rotate_180_reverse	0.00	No

This will rotate the panel along with brush. Second line will rotate the panel back to normal position after a delay.

set up the output to "fire only once" as follows

	My Output	Target Entity	Target Input	Parameter	Delay	Only Once
	OnPressed	trans_panel	rotate_180	panel_attach	0.00	Yes

Instead of prop_button you can also use trigger entity
