This is another thing that you don't make by
hand. This
one that I have zipped was originally
the health & ammo cabinets near the
Allied start on Goldrush. I put the
cabinets in line with each other instead of
at right angles, put them at the same height
as each other and created a prefab.
Download it, unzip the map and put it in
your prefabs folder.
Run Radiant, open your map and import the
prefab. It will appear near the 0,0,0
co-ordinate.
Drag it into place as shown.
That's it - no scripting needed.
When a player stands near them they'll dish
out health/ammo. The location will
also appear on the command map.
If you want more than one set of
cabinets, you can duplicate the whole thing
but you will need to make some name
changes: use shift+alt+click on each
item in turn and for each one, press N and
change "first" to
"second" for any key/value in
which it appears, then Hide the brush and do
the next.
 If
you need to rotate a set of cabinets, or a command post, it's quite a lot of
aggro. Better is to move the wall or find somewhere else to put
it! But if you have to rotate the cabinets, rotate the set by
multiples of 90 degrees to keep it simpler. The nuisance is that you
don't change the orientation of models (which the cabinets do have) by
rotating, so while the triggers and clips will rotate, the models don't :(
You must instead select each model and press N and enter its new
angle. Save your work before attempting rotation on model/brush
combinations! Especially true for trucks and tanks, and most of all
for command posts.

You can control how much and how quickly the
cabinets dispense things.
Shift+click on the big trigger and Hide
it.
Shift+click on the ammo trigger (it's on
the right as you look at them in 3D).
Press N. You can see the ammorate
and ammototal. Healrate and Healtotal
apply to the other trigger. These ones
have the standard expected values so you
normally won't need to change them.
You can make other things dish out
health/ammo by using these triggers, like
the water in the dog kennel in 2tanks.
Save, compile and test your cabinet.
