Hammer Editor - How to fix a blocked door?

[Jaytues]

I'm making a TTT map from some friends, and I made all of the doors on this map out of brushes (func_door_rotating). However, in private testing in GMod singleplayer that the doors can be easily blocked by a player just standing in the door's path.

Enabling "Force Closed" only makes it so the door doesn't close when a player bumps into it. I've considered enabling blocking damage, but having the map deal damage from something as common as a door might not be the best for a game like TTT since it might trigger RDM.

Any way to set the doors so that they'll push aside any player who's in their way?

There should be a flag for 'Non-solid to Player', which should help a lot. Its only active while the door is in motion, so when its fully open or shut its a normal door again.

Alternatively you could use an point_push. Give the door 2 outputs of:

1. OnBlockedOpening > [Named point_push] > Enable
   
2. OnFullyOpen > [Named point_push] > DIsable

You might want a duplicate set for the Close optons, but thats up to you.
As for the point_push itself, you don't want it to have a large range just high push value. Center it with the door so that if it gets activated it will keep the doorway clear.

Thank you, but these solutions don't seem to be working. The "Non-solid to player" flag is constantly active, even when the door is fully open or closed. When I try to make a point_push entity a sprite saying "Obsolete" appears in its place.

Try a trigger_push instead https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Trigger_push

Thank you, but that doesn't work either. For some odd reason the trigger_push entity disappears when I click on something else.

Make sure you have the selection mode in the top right set to Object or Group.
