How would one create doors like the ones from "Eviction Notice"

I would love to create doors similar to Eviction Notice’s doors, where they open, and close when going through em and kinda swing by themselves when they close.
heres what im talking about:

From my past knowledge doors like these weren’t really that great back then they were buggy or just didn’t really function that well… and the way they were attached were different if i recalled, you kinda had to attach something to like this yellow thingy that stuck out of another brick… Was weird… But basically what I’m asking is whats the procedure to make doors such as these in modern day ROBLOX? Is it the same way or different? Is there scripting involved or could this all be done entirely through studio (and blender if u decide to import a door mesh)… Thank you for your answers… Sorry if I sound dumb.

Im guessing it’s just a regular door with no script. It’s probbably light to make it easy for it to open and swinging because of the force pushed on to it. I don’t think the swinging requires a script

This kind of door is using physics constraints. No Scripts. This uses springs and a hinge, the springs are to hold the door closed when a player is not opening it. The hinge is so the door will open on the hinge. This door is welded to an invisible part that is used for the actual physics, the rest of the door is canCollide false. There is a roblox tutorial on this which has some minor issues with it, but I’ll include a model of this door for you to inspect.

Here is the YouTube video you might have trouble with, as I and others have:

Last but not least here is my door model to inspect:

I don’t think scripting is needed, but maybe is there to, as you said, ensure that there are no glitches. I’m not sure though.

This tactic uses physics constraints, there is no need to script this unless it would require player input or a certain player to open. Amen to physics constraints.

Thank you, incredibly helpful. Never knew an update like that dropped but I agree, thank god for them because it definitely made it so much simpler than it would be in the past.

And no wonder why I didn’t know about it, this was an update that happened after I quit ROBLOX and developing lol. Thanks again. Appreciate it. :slight_smile:

Thanks, the old hinges are now deprecated so try to stay away from them. Also avoid using welds and start using WeldConstraints! Good luck on your door :smile: :+1:

Awww, rip the old hinges they will be missed.

Also I’m glad I didn’t try making a door like that yet, it hasn’t even popped up in my head until now so I’m definitely gonna make a door similar sooner or later. Thanks for the tip :D, I got a long way to go before I completely “master” modern ROBLOX building. and thanks for linking your model, definitely gonna check it out.
