Sliding Canvas Doors

I’m looking for various sliding doors that are available to be used with canvases.

Take the supermarket door, for example, but applying canvas.

An alternate type of double doors opening up to the corners would be cool too, for a sci-fi vibe.

Another example of a type of door is one that slides altogether in one direction, in any direction. The example of door I’m aiming for is one that is similar to older FPS titles like Wolfenstein 3D and Doom.

I’m requesting these as what I’m aiming to accomplish doesn’t quite well fit in; the supermarket double doors.

Until some item may be added, doors that don’t utilize rotation are actually way easier than those that do when you are using movers. If you’re willing to figure them out, in my opinion they should do the trick.

If you’re unwilling to figure out movers, before they came out I used to use the Elevator Doors 2 item for doomlike doors.

The problem with your thinking here is that you are assuming one should be always utilizing movers to achieve the effect they are going for, when in reality, not everyone is interested in doing that and many would prefer easy to use, pre-made sliding door items with variations of them, including ones that support canvas links. Of course, that is not the case for everyone, but you do need to keep in mind that people with no interest in making use of movers or IO for their Condos exist. Going even further than that, there are some people actively playing Tower Unite that don’t have an interest in Condo making or exploring Condos of other people in the first place. I don’t think we should be using movers existing as an excuse to not give sliding doors more variants as proper, easy to use items.

What does that have anything to do with a post in the condo suggestion topic then?

Yes I understand not everyone wants to use movers and many people (including me) want this feature, why do you think I started my reply with “Until some item may be added” and ended with “If you’re unwilling to figure out movers”? My reply was strictly intended to provide a potential workaround in the meantime (because this may not even be added in the first place).

I only made the comment, because I believed the process for creating sliding doors is so streamlined, it almost seems like it’s one of the key possibilities the devs wanted movers to encompass.

If you truly think this is beyond your capabilities, I suggest you check out Mac’s Mover Guide, specifically his “Secret Passage” tutorial linked here, he probably explains how to do something like this in a much more concise way than I could:

Sliding Canvas Doors are definitely something on my list, even if it is similar to Mover functionality. Beginner builders would benefit from a simple sliding door and Advanced builders would find ways to utilise the sliding door in unique ways.

Also an official door item would be more efficient for performance than a custom-built mover door.

It is simply to inform that there are people who have no interest in this, and if they ever did get said interest, they would potentially find this hard/uncomfortable as a thing to set up.

I think I misread your initial response then, so I apologize. I must have had misread or misinterpreted what you quoted from your first response. That said, now that we know those kinds of sliding doors are on the list of planned things, even with Movers existing, I think your workaround, while still going to be definitely useful for a while until those items get officially added, I don’t believe that it has ever held that much relevance to begin with - I already explained why earlier - Movers existing, regardless of what their intended uses beyond the officially stated reason being an use for various Game Worlds and making custom maps for them easier to create, shouldn’t be an excuse to make creating something like this require multiple steps, which is also what was explained by Nuclear, regarding his statement about beginner builders which I fully support. So yeah, that’s my stance on this :slight_smile:

I can agree with you on most points here, I’m additionally sorry if my response was received as rude.

No problem at all :slight_smile:. At least we explained some things to each other in an civil, respectful manner.
