[Solved] Polydoors

[Spaceshiporion]

I'm really trying not to spam the forum,
but I'm new to Doom Builder, and I'm trying to learn the poly anchor tool.

I've checked 2 tutorials, but for some reason the door won't cast...

Can anyone inspect my file to see what I'm doing wrong?

You've almost done it
All that's left to do is to assign action 1 "Polyobject Start Line" to a line in your left enclosure (its green on screenshot because I've already assigned it)
And make sure that angle of an anchor is the same as Polyobject Number

Yes!!! Success! But now where do I add the action to open the door when use is pressed? The action window is in use this way...

You have at least 3 more lines in that polyobject to add your actions.
But given the layout it would make sense to use top and bottom lines for that.

Really? Interesting. I don't think I've figured out how to do that?
Can you help me to add a 2nd action?

Okay. For example like this:
Special on left line of the polyobject: Polyobject Start Line
Special on bottom line of the polyobject: Polyobject Door Slide

aaaah I see! I was using a grate in my wip, so I had to ad some vertices to make it work like that.
Thank you! I've been stuck on that for days now.

There's just one last question, and it's probably gonna be the dumbest one...

When I tag the line as "Impassable", I cannot pass the area, even after raising the grate.
Is there another checkbox I need to click?

[Proydoha]

Polyobjects have infinite height, you can't walk over or under a polyobject with impassible lines. You make one if you want something to slide horizontally.
Putting Door Raise on it will solve nothing.

Or use 'walkable middle texture' instead of 'impassable'...

You are all HEROES.
I finally got the door to work the way I wanted.
My first custom map is pretty much done now.

Thank you all so much.
