Hey.
I got this idea from Gears of War 2 with these little waist-high walls that pop up when you go near them.
I have no idea as to how the sensors or anything work, nor how to get the offsets or positioning correct. But I do have a skeleton mod.
Can anyone fix this up? All it really needs is to be aligned right and to make it pop up when someone comes near.

i meant a script which opens the door when ANY actor comes near, cause thats what Gears covers do.

No, I just want it to work for the team who placed it.
It can be a door that starts down but can go up. I checked in the files. There are values for open and closed.

I like your idea and I think I'm going to take a look at the door code.

Door closed = Down
Door Open = Up

This. Could be quite nice if not done GoW style.

Requests forum needs less talk, and more do.

Well here you go.

I've never played GoW so if you want a replica, I'm not the man to tweak it into that.

Also your module has screwy materials; your mat image is... wrong somehow
Might fix that for you later or figure it out and tell you how to fix it, but I don't have the time right now.


If you want to adjust the height, adjust the OpenOffset's (line 153) X axis and lower it. (by this I mean make it a bigger negative number)

eg -40 would be ten pixels higher than the current -30
