I don't think you're understanding what is being attempted here, and more importantly HOW it is being attempted. No one is suggesting that a script_model is handled as if it was a brushmodel, thereby confusing different origins and angles between the 2 different entities. In COD, you always have to address each entity with a certain targetname individually by searching for it in a for() loop. You would do it like this:

{	
	sinkElements = getEntArray( "sink_elements", "targetname" );
	if( isDefined( sinkElements ) )
		for( i=0; i < sinkElements.size; i++ )
			sinkElements[i] rotateYaw( 45, 1.5 );
	
}

Doing it this way - the "proper" way - would mean no confusion between script_model origins with brushmodel origins.

I think I do understand what is being attempted and I agree with what you said. HarryNutz would like to rotate the sink(brushmodel+model) as one entity. The only way to rotate the sink as an individual entity(or rather, make it seem that it's one entity) is if every element of your sinkElements array has the same origin. That way, when you call rotateYaw, it rotates using the same pivot for every entity.

So I guess what I'm saying is, the brushmodel origin has to be the same as the script_model one(or vice versa).

My head is spinning now, lol

All i need is a simple method to move these pieces to allow access to the tunnel under it. It doesn't necessarily have to rotate.

Use Tallys method and report back.

I don't understand how Im suppose to use that method. Don't mean to sound stupid... but all this scripting crap no matter how often I look at it... makes me go... and then and then

Name your brushmodels and script models that you want to move "sink_element".

main() {
	thread rotateSink();
}

rotateSink {	
	sinkElements = getEntArray( "sink_element", "targetname" );
	if( isDefined( sinkElements ) )
		for( i=0; i < sinkElements.size; i++ )
			sinkElements[i] rotateYaw( 45, 1.5 );
	
}

Save as your map .gsc. Check whether the sink rotated 45 degrees.

okay
if you want to rotate your kitchen-armature, you create some brushes in radiant and make them ALL to ONE script_brushmodel
so you can call your armature with getEnt() > for only 1 single unique object. but you have to rotate your armature AND some xmodels at the same time, so your object consists of different parts, right?
so you have to set for each single object either a script_brushmodel or a script_model in radiant, depending what class it is.
this way getEnt() wont work, because of the different parts, so you have to use getEntArray() - which includes every part of your armature, also you have to call the motion stuff on every single part! this is done by the for-loop, like in Rezils script, every part rotates at the same time.
hope this helps a little

Ok so I have all my brushes made into script_brushmodels with targetname of sink_element and then I have each model a script_model also with tagetnames of sink_element....

Now is where some confusion sets in... I already have a mymapname.gsc with:

main()
{
	//maps\createart\mp_ag_town_art::main();
	maps\mp\_load::main();
	maps\mp\_breakglass::main();
	maps\mp\mp_ag_town_doors::main();
	maps\mp\mp_ag_town_hatches::main();
	maps\mp\mp_ag_town_doors_pack::main();
	maps\mp\_ac_fan_script::main();
	maps\mp\mp_ag_town_drown::main();
	maps\createfx\mp_ag_town_fx::main();
	maps\mp\mp_ag_town_fx::main();
	maps\mp\_explosive_barrels::main();

	//maps\mp\_compass::setupMiniMap("compass_map_mp_ag_town");

	//setExpFog(500, 2200, 0.81, 0.75, 0.63, 0);
	//VisionSetNaked( "mp_ag_town" );
	//ambientPlay("ambient_ag_town_ext");

	game["allies"] = "marines";
	game["axis"] = "opfor";
	game["attackers"] = "axis";
	game["defenders"] = "allies";
	game["allies_soldiertype"] = "desert";
	game["axis_soldiertype"] = "desert";

	setdvar( "r_specularcolorscale", "1" );

	setdvar("r_glowbloomintensity0",".25");
	setdvar("r_glowbloomintensity1",".25");
	setdvar("r_glowskybleedintensity0",".3");
	setdvar("compassmaxrange","1800");


}

And why do I feel like something is missing... what exactly is going to make this rotate? Don't I need a trigger/s?

For purely testing purposes, you don't. If you did everything correctly the sink will be offset by a 45 degree angle.

Ok thats understandable... now what about my .gsc question?
