Re: How might I make a secret door move horizontally? back/s

Just going to put this out there, I know its a bit more complicated then simply rotating the nodes, but you have far greater freedom with your creations using this method, but a custom animation needs to be created on order for this to work.
(this is the swinging door from the upcoming town tileset btw)
Doors have hardcode animations yes, but levers do not.
So what you can do is to create a lever model that is the door and create custom animation for active / deactive ( or open or close)
since you are creating a custom animation the sky is the limit here, you can make it swing, break apart, open in any direction you want etc etc.
Since levers do not "block" the party you can walk rigth through this, in order to fix that we create an empty door (just an empty model with a node called gate)
this will act as blocker
Here you can even add your own sounds to the door, then its a simple matter of having something toggle the lever (that looks like a door), and in turn that lever toggles the invisible door unblocking or blocking the party as the fake lever door opens and closes.
The drawback is that the "click" sound of the lever gets heard when it toogles (but thats minor), but on return this opens up the possibility to create doors that have not been seen before like drawbridges, rotating doors etc etc.

is there a way to make it solid?
