Editing Advanced Sliding Doors

This page shows you how to use Move Node with objects and triggers to create sliding doors. You can apply the same principles with different types of triggers, interactions and switches.

Required Nodes & Objects:

    <p>4x Move Nodes or 2x Move Nodes depending on how many objects you move.</p>
    <p>2x Gate Nodes</p>
    <p>2x Sequence Nodes</p>
    <p>1x or 2x Objects that will be used to create a door.</p>

                <h3>Move Node Setup</h3>
                <p>Since the move nodes will be only acting on the object, we need to link all four(or two) of them to the object. Make sure two act-on (Move Nodes) goes to one object each or both to one using a singular object. [https://i.imgur.com/vSSuaUy.png Reference Image]</p>

                <h3>Adjusting Movements</h3>
                <p>In our example we'll have the object(s) move down and open from the sides.</p>
                <p>Next to Translation, there are three sliders for each axis in this order: X, Y, Z</p>
                <p>Toggle the [https://i.imgur.com/nk9NjV4.png Transform Space] (it will look darker) and click on the object(s).</p>
                <p>Then you want to make a note of the current position and move it to where you want it.</p>
                <p>In this example we'll move the object down so we'd look for the Z axis. [https://i.imgur.com/s2fdO4j.png Reference Image (One Object)] and [https://i.imgur.com/EB5Vjif.png Reference Image (Two Objects)].</p>
                <p><i>We are turning on local space to figure out which axis we're moving as shown in the references.</i></p>
                <p>For us, our single object current position is 1571.5 and moving it under the map puts it at 1567.99.</p>
                <p>So to open it we would set our first move point on the Z axis to, -3.51 to open and 3.51 to close. [https://i.imgur.com/ncwOvjm.png Reference Image Open (One Object)] and [https://i.imgur.com/fovDJyn.png Reference Image Close (One Object)].</p>
                <p><i>Two objects are the same as a single object but a bit different.</i></p>
                <p>For the two moving objects, we'd get how far one needs to move and remembers its position (same as above).</p>
                <p>So ours is red (X) axis -505.44 and moves to 508.84. So the door will be 3.3 as the movement.</p>
                <p>Since we are going to use local and not world space, we are putting this in the Z box as well.</p>
                <p>You should have two attach to ONE object and two attached to the SECOND object.</p>
                <p>Object One would be 3.3 or -3.3 depending on movement. Then depending how you've designed it, it might be the opposite or same depending on rotation.</p>
                <p>Example: My move would be 3.3 to open and -3.3 to close. So the second object would be 3.3 to open and -3.3 to close.</p>
                <p>I recommend always keeping nodes close but remember which is which and what does what function.</p>
                <p>Left is strictly open and right would be strightly closing. This keeps things simple!</p>

                <h3>Finally closing the circuit</h3>
                <p>We want to unlock the closing gate so we can let it lock up behind us!</p>
                <p><code>On Finishing → Unlock</code></p>
                <p>Then repeat that the closing the same way so we can unlock the opening gate.</p>
