Alrighty, I'm pretty far into my map, and I've got a bit of a door problem. Nothing serious, but when u open them they tend to like to open towards the player instead of the other way around. What am I doing wrong? I'm pretty sure it has to do with the size of the origin brush, but I just wanted to kno for sure.

nope, it is because u need to set the correct angle.

you need a func>rototating_door (door brush with origin) then select the door and press 'n'. Now, give the door a key/value angle/***, where *** depends on how your door is positioned in the top-view:
A | like door gets no angle or 0 or 180
a ----- like door gets an angle of 90 or 270 .
A / like door gets 135 and a \ gets 45. Always perpendicular to the door brush.

Sry i didn't specify, but im talking about rotating doors.

yeh, so was i

Like M4rine said, the angle must be set to one of the directions the player will face to open the door. Here is a screenshot.



Notice that the doors on the X axis do not need an angle set. This is because the default angle is 0 and that is one of the ways a player will face to open them.

It sure does work

SGG, i love this place

and that was a quality needed post Minder3 lol, almost as needed as this

Guess i was totally wrong, sry m4rine. Thanks that helped alot.

yeah i am having problems with my doors as well, but all that i do is set it to: alwaysaway - 1 . shouldnt that make it so the door opens away from the player and not towards the player

but even when i do that, it still sometimes opens towards me.

thanks every1 cause i was wondering the same thing

Key/Value alwayaway 1 is default, so setting it is redundant. An incorrect angle is what make it open wrong. BTW, alwaysaway 0 will make a door only open one way--in the direction of the set angle. It can be used for cabinet doors or shutters on the ground floor, just to name a few.

hmm yes i had to be told that numerous times... well at least that's one thing i wont forget lol

i find it useful to look at the notes for the door entitys in the entity window ( 'n' ). lots of different functions of doors explained

i guess that goes for all enitys, though the notes are just reference, u need good tuts like the ones here on .map
