func_platrot is a brush entity available in all Source games. It moves vertically, and can rotate while doing so.

Tip:As brush entities are lit using static lightmaps, lighting on this entity may look weird when it moves from its original position. If this is an issue, consider converting the brushes to a prop, changing the brushes to clip or skip, and parenting the converted model to this entity.
