I've always wanted to, but never had the chance.....
Anyway, making a map (well, 1/2 a map), nicked some movers from an SP map, and found out I could add sounds to 'em. Here, you can take a look, it's in attachment. Anyway, the closing sound won't stop playing once doors are shut. Any thoughts? Or am I gonna have to remove the sound?

I suffer from the same problem myself, so would be interested to hear if there is a way around this.

It's no biggy to me, I was just trying to be over clever with it. :lol: I should probably remove it and try it with a proper door sound.

Okay, I've finally managed to create my own textured mover (yay!), but there is one teensy problem with it. Download the file (obviously), summon yourself a few lockpicks, and get picking. See? What the hell's goin' on there? It's closed, not friggin' open! Any thoughts?

Oh, if you want the code to the pad, all you mappers know where to look. :-P

Hmm seems as though the keyframes are back to front, but I'm not sure if fixing that will solve the problem, I mention how to set key frames on an earlier post on this thread, try from scratch another mover.

Yeah, I tried reversing the keyframes, but that just froze the door. Crap. Took me ages to build that thing. (yeah, I know, major noobery
)

That guide on Factory by Magus is indeed a great one, however he doesn't explain how to set keypoints.
My way of doing it is to simply move the purple mover brush (say an elevator for this example) to it's ground floor position, then simply right click your purple mover brush and highlight "Mover Keyframe" then scroll (right) and click on keyframe 1, now simply move the purple mover brush to it's 1st floor position and your done (assuming your elevator has only two floors).
Now if you want your elevator to begin at the first floor position when you play your map (which makes sense), simply right click the purple elevator brush and highlight "Mover Keyframe" then scroll (right) and click on keyframe 0, it will return to it's starting position on the ground floor.
Aaaahhh! I'll try that.... IT WORKED!!! THANK YOU CHINNY!!!!

It's good when it works aye?
I try to keep things simple, alot of guides assume you know something allready or are unclear for non geeks like us.
Good luck with this, you're off to a good start...

Yeah, Tack is sometimes a bit unclear in his little lab.
Thanks again for the help.
