Door Progress

 Door Progress 

    

    I have selected the theme and assets for my door project. They are going to be using sci-fi elements from the Modular Sci-Fi Season 1 Starter Set. I'm brainstorming some ideas for the different types of doors I want to add to finish the project and I have a couple in mind. 

Beyond the Tutorial



    I decided that I wanted my door to have 2 animations. I created 2 timelines for each of the animations. It might have been possible to combine the animation into one timeline but I'm not sure. When the player enters the trigger box, the door pushes back slowly, all while emitting a hissing noise.


    After the slow push back, the door quickly rushes up and plays a sound effect. 


    Then the door is open! Eventually, I will add particle effects throughout the animation as well.


    Once you step out of the trigger box the door will close back down and push back into its original position. 


    To do this I had to get a little creative with the timelines because I would have to reverse each of them separately, without it restarting the other timeline. I tried multiple ways of doing this, but I figured the best way to do this was to check the actual location of the door. If the door has been pushed back, open the door. If it's not been pushed back after the timeline has run, it will not open the door.
