If you look a the entity window (key N) for your func_door elevator, you will see the "angle" buttons in the lower left. The two buttons in the center are labled "U" and "D" for up and down. If you press the Down button the angle value should change to "-2".
Tom Trude,
hey thanks for the help, my elevator goes down when i hit the button now.
i have only one other question. is there a way i can make only one trigger button for the elevator? i think it would work alot better that way for my map setup, also is there a way i can clip a light fixture and a door to my elevator so it stays with the elevator while it moves? tryed a couple of things but they didn't work

door
Your elevator is really a door, so anything you can do to a func_door can also be done to your elevator.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spawnflags:
===========
AUTO_OPEN causes the door to open when a player is near instead of waiting for the player to use the door.
DOOR_DONT_LINK is for when you have two doors that are touching but you want to operate independently.
TARGETED door is only operational from triggers or script
TOGGLE causes the door to wait in both the start and end states for a trigger event.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the "Targeted" spawnflag is set, the normal builtin trigger of the door is turned off. Then you can put in your own trigger_use (or whatever) and have it target the elevator.
Adding a second func_door would be hard, but it could be done with the script. The trigger would have to run a thread in the script (Key: setthread, Value: edoorthread).
