   |   Door SensorRay offset problemOk, i have messed alot with my door here, but i can't seem to get the door to open, when i get near. I think i have misunderstood how the startoffset and sensorray offset works. Is there anybody who could explain how it works?     I mean the part about HOW it works, not offsets.

 Anyways, as far as I understand it, here's how the Sensor Ray offset works.
 
 So, the Open Offset, Closed Offset, and Open Closed Offset all originate from one point. I don't know what it actually IS, but, they are all one point. In this twisted offset, positive X moves you to the right, negative to the left, positive Y moves down, and negative moves up.
 
 Now, Sensor Ray is an especially odd function. It draws a sensor area for the device using a line, which uses the two offsets available.
 
 The offsets for the start and end points of this ray have the same origin as the Open/Closed/OpenClosed offsets.
 
 Meaning that, if your door is, say, (0,0) closed and (0,48) open, a good sensor ray offset to use would be (24,-24) to (-24,-24). This would draw a horizontal line, which extends 24 pixels out from the door, 24 pixels into the air.
 
 24 is used because it's the default tile size in CC.
