basic movement

[rex64]

What are the easiest ways to have a object constantly rotating (like a gear). Also, I would like swinging objects (like pendulum), and moving objects (like a car). What are the best methods to do these movements? Thanks.

A phys_motor can attempt to spin an object. A func_rotating will spin perpetually even if there's something in the way or not.

A pendulum could be done easily by constraining an object with a phys_hinge.

Physical objects are typically prop_physics (model) or func_physbox (brush) entities. Objects that move on their own are func_tracktrains or any vehicle entity.

name

How do I name a brush (actualy 2+ burshes) so that I can use them with physics motor? I tried making it a func_wall, but it did not rotate. Also, my framerates with the 2 brushes was 4-8 FPS. U should see the budget, it is a solid pink block all the way to the top. Swap Buffer is full

Do all these objects work with multiplayer?

Actually, I think something is wrong with something I did. check this out:

You want func_physbox so that the brushes can move.

phys_motor

Is there a way to use phys_motor with brushes? Is there a easy way to make models? A free program? I do not have 3D Studio. Also, what are the errors I was getting? I think they are causing it to run bad.
