On my map I have challenges that people do and once they complete them I want doors to open, but I don't know how to tell a script to do that. So any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Help With Moving/Rotating doors with a script. in Scripting

idk that didn't seem to work and idk why

In no way is this the best way. Just a way that works for me.

Radiant crap (Put it into a spoiler if you know what your doing in Radiant)

Step 1:
Go into Radiant Enity Browser->Script->model add it into your map

Step 2:
Select the script_model you have just placed and set the model via the Entity Info
At this point go ahead and also set the targetname to what you want to refer to the door as in the code in my case "door_example"

At this point you may want to keep track of any information such as the new origin/rotation of the model so that you don't have to guess inside your code.

Script crap

Several functions to move script_model if you are unsure how to:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

void <script_model, script_origin or script_brushmodel> MoveTo(<point>,<time>,[acceleration time],[deceleration time])

[MANDATORY] <point> The point to move the entity to
[MANDATORY] <time> The time to move the entity in seconds
[OPTIONAL] [acceleration time] The time spent accelerating
[OPTIONAL] [deceleration time] The time spent decelerating
CATEGORY: 
CLIENT/SERVER: Server
SUMMARY: Move this entity to the given point.
EXAMPLE: dummy MoveTo( dest_org, .5, .05, .05 )

Code Snippet

Plaintext

void <script_model, script_origin or script_brushmodel> MoveX(<point>,<time>,[acceleration time],[deceleration time])

[MANDATORY] <point> The x value to move the entity to, as a floating point number
[MANDATORY] <time> The time to move the entity in seconds
[OPTIONAL] [acceleration time] The time spent accelerating in seconds
[OPTIONAL] [deceleration time] The time spent decelerating in seconds
CATEGORY: 
CLIENT/SERVER: Server
SUMMARY: Move this entity to the given world x value
EXAMPLE: train MoveX( -4400, 60, 15, 20 )

Code Snippet

Plaintext

void <script_model, script_origin or script_brushmodel> MoveY(<point>,<time>,[acceleration time],[deceleration time])

[MANDATORY] <point> The y value to move the entity to, as a floating point number
[MANDATORY] <time> The time to move the entity in seconds
[OPTIONAL] [acceleration time] The time spent accelerating in seconds
[OPTIONAL] [deceleration time] The time spent decelerating in seconds
CATEGORY: 
CLIENT/SERVER: Server
SUMMARY: move this entity to the given world y value
EXAMPLE: hangardoor MoveY( 320, 10 )

Code Snippet

Plaintext

void <script_model, script_origin or script_brushmodel> MoveZ(<point>,<time>,[acceleration time],[deceleration time])

[MANDATORY] <point> The z value to move the entity to, as a floating point number
[MANDATORY] <time> The time to move the entity in seconds
[OPTIONAL] [acceleration time] The time spent accelerating in seconds
[OPTIONAL] [deceleration time] The time spent decelerating in seconds
CATEGORY: 
CLIENT/SERVER: Server
SUMMARY: Move this entity to the given world z value

Rotation

Code Snippet

Plaintext

void <script_model, script_origin or script_brushmodel> RotatePitch(<pitch angle>,<time>,[acceleration time],[deceleration time])

[MANDATORY] <pitch angle> The new pitch angle in degrees
[MANDATORY] <time> The time to rotate in seconds
[OPTIONAL] [acceleration time] The time spent accelerating in seconds
[OPTIONAL] [deceleration time] The time spent decelerating in seconds
CATEGORY: 
CLIENT/SERVER: Server
SUMMARY: Rotate this entity to the given pitch
EXAMPLE: treeorg RotatePitch( -5, 0.26, 0.15, 0.1 )

Code Snippet

Plaintext

void <script_model, script_origin or script_brushmodel> RotateTo(<angles>,<time>,[acceleration time],[deceleration time])

[MANDATORY] <angles> The new world angle to rotate to
[MANDATORY] <time> The time to rotate in seconds
[OPTIONAL] [acceleration time] The time spent accelerating in seconds
[OPTIONAL] [deceleration time] The time spent decelerating in seconds
CATEGORY: 
CLIENT/SERVER: Server
SUMMARY: Rotate this entity to the given world rotation value
EXAMPLE: shutter RotateTo( (shutter.angles[0], newYaw, shutter.angles[2]), newTime )

Code Snippet

Plaintext

void <script_model, script_origin or script_brushmodel> RotateVelocity(<rotate velocity>,<time>,[acceleration time],[deceleration time])

[MANDATORY] <rotate velocity> The rotational velocity to rotate
[MANDATORY] <time> The time to rotate in seconds
[OPTIONAL] [acceleration time] The time spent accelerating in seconds
[OPTIONAL] [deceleration time] The time spent decelerating in seconds
CATEGORY: 
CLIENT/SERVER: Server
SUMMARY: Rotate this entity at a particular velocity for a given time
EXAMPLE: self RotateVelocity( (x,y,z), 12 )

Code Snippet

Plaintext

void <script_model, script_origin or script_brushmodel> RotateYaw(<yaw angle>,<time>,[acceleration time],[deceleration time])

[MANDATORY] <yaw angle> The new yaw angle in degrees
[MANDATORY] <time> The time to rotate in seconds
[OPTIONAL] [acceleration time] The time spent accelerating in seconds
[OPTIONAL] [deceleration time] The time spent decelerating in seconds
CATEGORY: 
CLIENT/SERVER: Server
SUMMARY: Rotate this entity to the given yaw

There are most definitely more functions but these are just the main ones id look into using for this.

So after deciding which function is right for you go ahead
Now in this example I'm going to be using MoveX as I am only moving it along the X axis.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

function monitorDoorEvent() {
	//Grabs the script_model we placed inside out map
	door = GetEnt("door_example", "targetname");

	//Waits for the notify or you can just remove this and run the script when ready.
	level waittill("event_door_move");

	//Moves the door along the X axis from initial point to 852.25 it will take it 1 second to do so.
	door MoveX(852.25, 1); //MoveX(pointX, time), MoveTo(newOrigin, time)
}

Essentially this is just the exact same as what IVIr_Gadd suggested but just going over the Radiant parts.

If you followed it right your door should move like such (Sorry about music I forgot that nvidia shadow play picks up that crap):
