So Ive built this custom house with the iclone7 prop pack using the premade walls.

There is a slot for a door and a door prop.

I searched all over and i cant find out how to get my character to open the door.

When I set physics it falls, or my character just walks thru it on static.

Last question, I imported a door from a website and now its in my scene.

Is there a way to make this door animate open?
Like can I seperate the frame from the door and have it open?

any help is much appreciated. I do really search for answers before asking. thank you guys

As for opening the door, there are two ways to do that.

Manual instructions:
Select your door, then on the Modify tab, scroll down to Pivot sub tab.
Depending on your door's orientation, select one of the left or right buttons. I prefer, middle, but you can use bottom right or top left, etc. Just make sure the pivot is not in the middle, or the door will spin on its center.

Then on the frame you want to open, on the time line (F3 if not visible) set the open transform value.

Make sure your door pivots on the correct hinge, whichever way you want to open.

Show the timeline by pressing F3, or Window Timeline, add a keyframe in the Transform section, and set the value for your door to closed.

Then on the timeline, go to the frame you want to open, and change the value of the rotation z (most likely, could vary by prop).

Mine went from -180 closed, to -270 open.

I have a Python script that opens a door to a shuffle machine for my Poker Room. You could modify the script in Notepad or your favorite text editor (I use Visual Studio)

https://github.com/DataJuggler/PythonScripts/blob/main/Poker%20Room%20Python%20Widget.py

You would have to modify the Open Shuffle Machine method and Close Shuffle Machine method, but it is the same logic.




When I get off work I may make a more generic open door script.
