New item : Piston Mounted Angled Panel

[ghost]

Its a panel on a piston, piston is movable by inputs, and you can choose what angle it is

(i am horrible at explaining)

[TeamSpen210]

Ok. When should the panel change angle? How should I interface the 4 panel arms with the single piston?

[ghost]

You cant change the panel angle, only the piston platform

[TeamSpen210]

Ok, that'd work better - a surface permanently at a certain angle.

[ghost]

but the piston can move

Why can't you also have the angle option from the normal panel item?

[ghost]

@Luke18033 You can have the angle option, but you cant change it with connections

[TheDarkBomber]

The angle doesn't need to be changed ingame anyway. It can be changed in the editor though.

@ghost Couldn't it use input A/B?

The angle doesn't need to be changed ingame anyway. It can be changed in the editor though.

@TheDarkBomber In Portal 1 Test 18, there is a panel which extends out and then tilts up.

How should I interface the 4 panel arms with the single piston?

@TeamSpen210 You could use P1 pistons with P2 textures (and unmodified P1 pistons in that style).

[vrad-exe]

Actually, how about make a custom model which attaches the rail models to the piston? You could probably even just make it out of brushes.
