Welcome to another one of my mapping tutorials. In this tutorial, I will be teaching you how to create Spawn Room doors for Team Fortress 2 Maps. This tutorial will only teach you how to create the doors, not the spawn itself.
Let's get started!
- Start off by opening your map with the spawn rooms already created. If you don't know how to create spawn rooms, read this tutorial

- Now, using the Entity tool (Shift+E) place a prop_dynamic entity in your map and open up its properties menu and give it a name.
Since I'm going to be making this door for the RED spawn, I'm going to call it prop_door_red_01

- Now, for the World Model, select the model models/props_gameplay/door_slide_large_dynamic.mdl

Put the door in place, make sure it's not clipping into any of the world brushes.
- Now, using the brush tool, create a brush the size of the prop_dynamic, with the tools/toolsnodraw texture, and tie it to the func_door entity.

- Give the door a name, I called mine door_red_01. Also, change the speed of the door to 500 and the Move direction to -90 0 0.

- With the properties window for the func_door still open, go to the Flags tab, and make sure none of the flags are selected.
- Now go to the Outputs tab, and add the following Outputs:
My Output Named: OnOpen
Target Entities Named: prop_door_red_01 (or whatever you named your prop_dynamic)
Via This Input: SetAnimation
With a Parameter Override of: Open
Then add this one:
My Output Named: OnClose
Target Entities Named: prop_door_red_01 (or whatever you named your prop_dynamic)
Via This Input: SetAnimation
With a Parameter Override of: Close

- Now, using the entity tool again (Shift+E), place the entity filter_activater_tfteam in front of the spawn door. Use the following settings:

- Now, using tbe brush tool, create a brush around the spawn door with the tools/toolstrigger texture. Adjust it to your liking. Once the player steps in the brush, the door will open, so try not to make it too large.

- Now tie the brush to the trigger_multiple entity, open up the properties mnu, and change the Filter Name to the filter you just created. Mine was called filter_red_01

- With the properties menu still open, head over to the Outputs tab, and add the following two outputs:
My Output Named: OnStartTouchAll
Target Entities Named: door_red_01 (or whatever you named your func_door)
Via This Input: Open
Then add this one:
My Output Named: OnEndTouchAll
Target Entities Named: door_red_01 (or whatever you named your func_door)
Via This Input: Close

That's it! Place in some spawn points if you haven't already, and go test out your doors.
