This effect causes an opened door to automatically close after a specified period of time.
This is compatible with every type of door except Star Trek Doors and Sliding Doors. Place an S[Delay,10]
within the door sector. The Delay
value is the amount of time it takes
for the door to close after being opened. A Delay
value of 32 is equal
to 1 second. 128 (4 seconds) is the most common Delay
value. If you use
a very small Delay
value (or none at all), you can create
malfunctioning doors which partially open and then close immediately.
Note: If you use this with Star Trek Doors or Sliding Doors,
they will open and close automatically forever. This sparked some ideas, so I played around with this feature and came up with a neat trick. Give the S
a null Delay
value and link it to a Switch, and you'll have a stubborn
malfunctioning door which takes multiple switch presses to jar open! For another trick that exploits the same features, check "SFX - A6 : Staged Sounds".
