Add Doors Tool
This tool helps you to quickly add functioning doors to your building Game Object.
Quick Overview
The Add Doors tool:
- Adds a “Door” component to mesh Game Objects found by searching for particular name patterns.
- Adds “Door Triggers” to the door, allow it to open and close as the player approaches and leaves the area of the door.
- Adds Audio Clips that play when the door is opening and closing.
- Ensures the “Static Flags” are set to allow the door to move.
The door tool creates two DoorTrigger and corresponding BoxCollidercomponents, in Game Objects on either side of the door. These are sized and positioned according to the door, and tagged as “Inside” or “Outside” triggers based on the forward transform of the door. The pivot location is derived and stored against the Door component and is used, along with the trigger location, to open the door in the correct direction depending on whether it was triggered from outside (the door opens inwards) or inside (the door opens outwards).
Parameters
These parameters can be configured on an instance of this tool:
| Parameter | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Door Names | Game Objects that contain any of these strings will be configured as doors. |
| Door Opening Clips | Optional audio clip(s) that play when the door starts opening. If multiple clips are added, a random clip will be played. |
| Door Open Clips | Optional audio clip(s) that play when the door completes opening. If multiple clips are added, a random clip will be played. |
| Door Closing Clips | Optional audio clip(s) that play when the door starts closing. If multiple clips are added, a random clip will be played. |
| Door Closed Clips | Optional audio clip(s) that play when the door completes closing. If multiple clips are added, a random clip will be played. |
| Door SFX Group | The AudioMixerGroup used to play the door audio sounds. |
| Door Trigger Layer Mask | When a collider enters the door trigger, only colliders on any of the identified layers will be considered for triggering the door. |
| Door Trigger Tags | When a collider enters the door trigger, only colliders with any of the identified tags will be considered for triggering the door. |
| Override Collider Height | By default, the colliders on either side of the door will match the height of the door mesh. If you want to override this, check this box and enter a value in the override. |
| Door Collider Override Height | The height of the colliders created on either side of the door, if you’ve chosen to override the default. |
| Door Collider Depth | The depth (distance from the door) of the colliders created on either side of the door. |
| Override Collider Width | By default, the trigger width is calculated based on the width of the door. Tick this to override that with a fixed value. |
| Door Collider Width Override | The override width of the colliders, if the override flag is set. |
| Moveable Mesh Static Flags | Static flag mask to be applied to the door. Generally “Nothing” to allow the door to be animated. |
| Outside Trigger Name | The name of the Game Object created to hold the “outside” door trigger and collider. |
| Inside Trigger Name | The name of the Game Object created to hold the “inside” door trigger and collider. |
