Doors

Doors are one of the most common places where map I/O shows up. A door might be a normal player-use door, a locked traitor room entrance, a button-driven sliding wall, or a paired double door that needs both sides to move together.

Which Door Setup To Use

Doors are usually simple

Use the simplest door setup that fits the room. If a door only needs to be opened by players and does not need TTT map I/O, locking, partnering, reset behavior, or custom button control, it usually does not need to be built as a TTT movement tool.

Use our tools when the door is part of TTT logic

Use TTT Rotating Door or TTT Linear Mover when the door needs I/O inputs- if it needs to be controlled by our buttons, role buttons, triggers, timers, or other TTT logic. Otherwise, the s&box native Door component will work.

Both TTT Rotating Door and TTT Linear Mover are generally compatible with games that make use of the native IPressable, so any games using it should be compatible to some degree, networking differences notwithstanding... We can't guarantee full behavior on other games, though, just player input. Long and short, be aware that using our I/O components does not guarantee your map's compatibility with all other games on the platform.

TTT Rotating Door

TTT Rotating Door rotates an object from its authored closed position to a target rotation. Usually this is a door, but despite its name, this is also a generically applicable "Rotate this object this much" component. It's the choice for hinged doors, double doors, rotating wall panels or shutters, rotating traps... rotating things.

Setup

  1. Create a GameObject for the door.
  2. Add the visible model and make sure it has solid collision.
  3. Add the TTT Rotating Door component.
  4. Set Target Rotation for how far the door should rotate from its closed position.
  5. Set Open Duration and Close Duration if the default speed is not right.
  6. Test it from both sides and after a round reset.

Pivot Setup

If the model origin is already on the hinge, the default pivot may be enough. If not, create a helper GameObject at the hinge and assign it as Pivot Target. The door captures that helper's world position and uses it as the hinge.

You can also edit the fallback Pivot value directly in local space, but a helper object is usually easier to understand visually if it is needed.

Useful Options

Option Use
Allow Direct Use Lets players press the door directly. This is enabled by default for rotating doors.
Direct Use Mode Chooses whether direct use should Activate or Toggle the door.
Open Away From Activator Opens away from the player or signal activator when possible.
Starts Open Starts open on round start or map reset.
Starts Locked Starts locked until it receives Unlock.
Auto Reset / Reset Time Automatically closes after opening.
Partner Object / Partner Name Mirrors open, close, toggle, lock, and unlock actions to another rotating door. Useful for double doors.
Opening and closing fields Control movement duration, curves, and sounds for open and close travel.

Inputs

Input Behavior
Open / Start Opens the door.
Close / Stop Closes the door.
Activate Opens the door when closed. If Auto Reset is disabled, it can also close an open door.
Toggle Flips between open and closed.
Lock / Unlock Prevents or allows future activation.

Leave a map link input blank when the sender's default Activate behavior is enough. Set the input only when you need a specific command, such as Toggle or Unlock.

Sliding Doors

Sliding doors are built with TTT Linear Mover. Use this for doors, panels, bars, gates, trap covers, and other two-position objects that move in a straight line.

Setup

  1. Create a GameObject for the moving door.
  2. Add the visible model and make sure it has solid collision.
  3. Add the TTT Linear Mover component.
  4. Set Move Delta to the local-space offset from closed to open.
  5. Set Open Duration and Close Duration if needed.
  6. Enable Allow Direct Use only if players should press the door itself.

Move Delta is evaluated in the mover's local space. The model pivot does not need to sit on an edge like a rotating door pivot does.

Useful Options

Option Use
Move Delta Local-space movement from the authored closed position to the open position.
Allow Direct Use Lets players press the mover directly. This is disabled by default for linear movers.
Direct Use Mode Chooses whether direct use should Activate or Toggle the mover.
Starts Open Starts in the moved/open position on round start or map reset.
Starts Locked Starts locked until it receives Unlock.
Auto Reset / Reset Time Automatically closes after opening.
Partner Object / Partner Name Mirrors open, close, toggle, lock, and unlock actions to another linear mover. Useful for paired sliding doors.
Opening and closing fields Control movement duration, curves, and sounds for open and close travel.

Inputs

Input Behavior
Open / Start Moves to the open position.
Close / Stop Moves to the closed position.
Activate Opens when closed. If Auto Reset is disabled, it can also close when open.
Toggle Flips between open and closed.
Lock / Unlock Prevents or allows future activation.

Common Patterns

Pattern Wiring
Player-use hinged door TTT Rotating Door with Allow Direct Use enabled.
Button opens a locked door Button output to the door with input Open; another output can send Unlock first if needed.
Toggle button controls a sliding door Button output to a TTT Linear Mover with input Toggle.
Double rotating doors Set each door's partner directly, or use Partner Name when direct references are inconvenient.
Elevator door or multi-stop platform Use Elevators and Path Movers instead of trying to chain several binary movers together.
