func_lookdoor is a brush entity available in 
Half-Life 2 series. It's a door that moves, either when looked by a targeted object or when a target object comes near the door. Behavior can be either based on viewing direction or proximity alone, or on a combination of both.
Note:The SetPosition input and Start Position keyvalue do not perform any bounds checking, so values less than 0 and greater than 1 can be used. Negative values will move in the opposite direction to the movement direction, and values greater than 1 will move it in multiples of the set Move Distance. Moving past the opened/closed position does not trigger the OnFullyOpen and OnFullyClosed outputs.
Bug:There are bugs that may arise when parenting this entity to any of these: func_movelinear, func_lookdoor, func_water_analog. A func_door (or for func_water_analog, func_water) can be used as a workaround. (see here for a code fix)[
Code Fix]
Confirm:Might be fixed in Portal 2? Parented movelinears are used extensively for this game's piston platforms.Bug:In 
, parenting a move_rope or keyframe_rope will cause the entities to disappear. Clarification required if the rope entities are deleted or are simply not rendered. [todo tested in?]Note:This entity is also in the code for 
. Its functionality is not guaranteed.

Flags
!FGD FuncMoveLinear:
- 8: Not Solid
Bug:Physics objects cannot be constrained to this entity when this flag is enabled. [todo tested in?]LookDoor:
- LookDoor Threshold : [
8192] - LookDoor Invert : [
16384]
Make the door behave oppositely. Player has to be outside Proximity Distance, and not looking at the door within Field of View. - LookDoor From Open : [

Keyvalues
Note:For Keyvalues and Inputs affecting brush rendering, see Brush entity/Rendering related keyvalues and inputs
- Name
(targetname)<string> - The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g.
parentnameortarget).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.See also: Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities
- Target
(target)<targetname> !FGD - Thing (probably a
player) that we will check for LOS to the door. - Proximity Distance
(ProximityDistance)<float> - If non-zero, how close target must be for door to move.
- Proximity Offset
(ProximityOffset)<float> - Offset from the target object.
- Field of View
(FieldOfView)<float> - If non-zero, how far away from the door the target can look while still triggering it.
FuncMoveLinear:
- Move Direction (Pitch Yaw Roll)
(movedir)<angle> - The direction the entity will move in.
- Start Position
(startposition)<float> - Position of brush when spawned, where 0 is the starting position and 1 is starting position + (move direction * move distance).
- Speed
(speed)<integer> - The speed that the brush moves, in inches per second.
- Move Distance
(movedistance)<float> - The distance from the starting point that the brush should move, in inches.
- Block Damage
(blockdamage)<float> - The amount of damage to do to any entity that blocks the brushes, per frame.
Bug:Block damage doesn't function on players who passed through a trigger_teleport using noclip, though it will have effect again if the the player goes through a trigger_teleport without noclip. [todo tested in?]- Sound played when the brush starts moving.
(startsound)<sound> - The sound to play when the brush starts moving.
- Sound played when the brush stops moving.
(stopsound)<sound> - The sound to play when the brush stops moving.
Inputs
InvertOn- Enabled inverted behavior.
InvertOff- Turn door behavior back to the normal method.
FuncMoveLinear:
Open- Move the brush to the end position (starting position + (move direction * move distance)).
Close- Move the brush to the starting position.
SetPosition<float>- Move the brush to a specific position, where 0 is the starting position and 1 is the starting position + (move direction * move distance).
SetSpeed<float>- Set the speed and update immediately.
Outputs
FuncMoveLinear:
OnFullyOpen- Fired when the brush reaches the end position (starting position + (move direction * move distance)).
OnFullyClosed- Fired when the brush reaches the starting position.
