Folding/Breathing/Collapsing/Garage/Articulated Doors

Hey all,

I just wanted to show off these doors I made a while ago:

They make a guest appearance in my game:

Honestly I like working with constraints rather than building. I think things that move are pretty cool.

Thanks!

This is SOOOOOOOOO cool!!! How does it work???

Same here.

springs and hinges, that’s all.

No scripting??? I’m so confused…

I think I see how this works. The hinges connect all the parts so they can fold, then the spring (which is probably connected to the parts or hinges) expands and contracts which moves all the parts.

I would like to know how you made the spring contract and expand without a script, though.

That’s amazing, I think I get how it works too. Is it just a the part at the end that pulls the door open if that makes sense, and since they’re partially folded already it always goes in the right direction?

well there is a script but it’s just tweening the spring force, but it’s not like it does anything else. normally people use scripts and stuff to make things move, so that was the entire point of making this, so that these sorts of things can be done with contraints. it’s wayyyy cooler that way

yes, it unfolds itself just by moving the spring.
