Could someone let me know is it better to animate the doors and use a trigger to get them to open or is it easier to script sliding doors? and if it is easier anyone got a script to share

I would bet that its way easier
to script the whole thing.

Ya i guess it would be, plus i`m a tad sucky at animation
So got a script? one which means i need to press a pad to open the door?

C-script or lite-c? Does the door need collision detection or is it just going to slide into a wall?

it`ll slide into a wall, i suppose lite-c as i intend to purchase intense ai for the project. at the moment i just want some basic code for testing the levels.

Simple animation:
First frame: door is closed
second frame: door is fully opened

Now you should be able to interpolate between thoses using the percentage argument.

Example:


Of course the percentage var should be a real var which is increased or decreased by a loop.
