Alright, well, you might have mentioned in your tutorial that phys_hinge doesn't attach to anything until you click on it and drag the little circle (in the hinge's center) in some direction to set the hinge's axis.

could someone elaborate on this please? im getting an error when running my map about an error in phys_hinge something about an invalid value ?
like...which direction would you drag it? towards the end pivot point. or the beginning pivot point? or the doors center? or the end point of the door open path? too many possibilities

Ok here's how i got it to work,
copy exactly what the tutorial says.
Once you've done that, select your phys_hinge and you will see a small circle in the centre of it. Drag this small circle downwards to set the axis (make sure you do this in front or side view).
(this will work for a door revolving around the Y axis)

Here's an image that may help you

Hi guys, (My first post WOOO)
I've just gone through this and my door seems to stick. I can get it to fall over (which is point less) but when i add the hinges it just stutters and wont move at all.
1. Do i need to leave a gap around all sides of the door?
2. Do i need to move the origin of the door to get it to rotate around the hinge?

Cheers if u can help out.

Make sure it isn't in any of the brushes.
