Door entities are used to create different types of doors. The door entities can be found in Create Object → Legacy Entities → Doors.
The Advanced Door entity has additional properties that allows the door to receive damage and be destroyed appropriately. These are mostly controlled in the Breakage, Destruction and Vulnerability property tables.
The model required for an Advanced door to work fully is much the same as a destructible object, with the entity looking for specific sub-object names within the model file to use as normal and destroyed models of the door as well as any pieces that should be generated.
The door opens and closes based on simple rotation angles around the Z-axis, but as it is an advanced door, it will also physically interact with geometry and objects whilst opening and closing so it's possible to have entities blocking the path of the door.

The Anim Door entity is another door entity available in the engine, the advantage of this entity is that you can use animations to control how the door opens and closes.
The Physics properties table also allows the Door to have physical properties though unlike the Advanced Door the Anim Door entity cannot be destroyed.
If you do not require the Door to interact physically with the world it is best to set the Physicalize, PushableByPlayers and RigidBody flags to false as this will save on performance.
Properties | Description |
|---|---|
Activate Portal | Specifies if the door activates a portal. |
Locked | Specifies if the door is locked. |
Model | Specifies which model the door will use. |
NoFriendlyFire | Specifies if friendly fire affects the door. |
SmartObjectClass | |

Mass | Specifies the mass of the door. |
Physicalize | Specifies if the door is physicalized. |
PushableByPlayers | Specifies if the door can be pushed by players or not. |
RigidBody | Specifies if the door should use rigid body physics. |
Sounds | |
Close | Specifies the close sound. |
Open | Specifies the open sound. |
This is the simplest door entity available but still affords quite a large amount of control over the behavior of the door.
It is possible to use the Rotation or Slide parameters to control how the door opens and closes, for instance by changing the Axis parameter it's possible to create a door that rotates on the X or Y Axis.
This entity does not have any physical interaction.
