Creating rotating panels
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 World Model models/anim_wp/simple_panel_transforms/simple_panel.mdl
2. Create a block brush of any size you wish (64x16x64 recommended) 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 near the the brush you just created (not too close) 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.
You can also connect the rotating panel to any other kind of input. Set the outputs to this:
My Output Target Entity Target Input Parameter Delay Only Once <your output> trans_panel SetAnimation rotate_180 0.00 No <your output> trans_panel SetAnimation rotate_180_reverse 0.00 No
