Find a tutorial for an elevator and make it move sideways. One thing you should know, objects that move up and down at an angle will jitter the player's view while riding in it.

Thanks Tom Trude for the speedy response!!

Before I posted, I tried to get the cable car moving by making it all one big func_door and setting the angle to 1.
IN game, when I tried to start the car, I crashed out to the MOHHA
main menu. in the console was the error message:

error:
func_door: move to speed is negative

Should I be following a more complex elevator tutorial than
the func_door method?

I have some mapping experience, but a bit hopeless on the technical side, so any advice is greatle appreciated. Great!

Change all the brushes and models into script_objects and give them the same targetname, then do a search for the moveup, movedown, movenorth, movesouth, moveeast, movewest and moveto commands. This requires scripting.
