Recipe: a door you click

New in 1.64. A door that opens with a click and closes with the next one — the same for everyone in the session, and still open for someone who joins later.

Make it

  1. Select the door (a tall thin box, or a door model).
  2. In the node editor, right-click the pane ▸ Recipes ▸ Door (click to open).
  3. Press Play and click the door.

What it adds

Node Set to
On Click wired into Toggle Animation's toggle
Toggle Animation closed = where the door stands now, open = a quarter turn; open and close sound door

All of it is one undo step. Open or closed is shared and saved with the scene.

Make it your own

  • Swing on the hinge. The quarter turn is about the door's origin. For a box door that is its middle, so move the origin to the hinge edge first (Each object's origin) — or open the door the way you want by hand and press Set beside open on the Toggle Animation card.
  • Slower, or the other way: change duration on the card, or Set a different open pose.
  • Closes by itself: set autoClose to a few seconds.
  • Ajar: Add pose on the card and name it; wire a button into go to with pose set to its name.

To open it by walking up instead, use the walk-up door.
