Best Way To Have An Auto Door Created 19 years ago2005-06-10 17:42:47 UTC by Zat_AJ

Hi... I just wanted to ask...

What is the best way to have a door open automaticly from one side but on the other side you need to push a button?

On the door that opens automaticly I want it to stay open until you go through it. I assume that I should use a trigger_multiple, so should I target it to a multisorce and the door has the multisorce as it's master? Or no? Thanks for the help again.

Set the door to "use only" and put a trigger_multiple on the other side.

Oh wait, I read it wrong. IU doint know how to make a button work on one side. I gues you would use a multi_source.

No need for a multisource.

Just a trigger_multiple on one side, and a func_button on the other, both targeting your door.

Ok... so...:

Side A:
Trigger_Multiple targets door

Side B:
Button targets door

Door:
"use only" flag checked?
Set it to stay open for 5 secconds.

Trigger_multiple:
Delay before reset: 8 secconds

Func_button:
Delay before reset: 8 secconds

Is that right?

And what happens if someone presses the button when the door is opening from the trigger_multiple?

ok.. I just tried it and it works perfectly... thanks again guys...

Just a trigger_multiple on one side, and a func_button on the other, both targeting your door.

But the wall separating one room from the other will have to be very thick turning out fat and ugly. If the wall is too thin you will actuyally be able to press the button from the other side of the wall.

How thick is the wall?

Well that isn't a problem in this case. The wall is very thin, but on the side with the button, it isn't near the door at all... it is accorss the room. Good thought though.

Can't you just make 2 func_doors!?

It's alright... I have it working now. Thanks for your imput.
