I’m trying to set up a door in blueprint and every time I approach it it vanishes, I’m following the tutorial on the wiki for automated doors, I had one working but didn’t need the frame they use in the tutorial so I’ve been trying to get one working with just a door and can’t figure out what I"m doing wrong. Here’s my blueprint
Is it different for a class blueprint? I believe he’s using a Level Blueptrint
I have another that looks like this
and it works just fine
EDIT I also set it not to move and it still disappears when I approach it.
Hi DatMiyamoto
Watch this tutorial …bec, he will gonna talk about this issue and how to fix it.
you should store the door position at the beginning of the game…then let the time line adding it’s value to it’s initial location at the start of the game.
best of luck
sorry for delay
you should make the door “movable not static”
try first to make the class blueprint just like in the video to fully understand the idea
then try to achieve it using another method.
The video is a level blueprint isn’t it? I’ve followed it I understand it I’m pretty sure it was a level one. The tutorial on the wiki is a class one and I have one door working but my other one is not and I don’t know why.
sound strange…
did you tried debugging while in game and see which node is causing this issue?
Here’s a screenshot of it as I walk to the door, Unless I miss something I believe this is how it should be
When you are in the game and the door disappears, get mouse control back (shift+f1) und “un-possess” (eject). After that, find the door in the Scene Outliner and check the values. Maybe this helps with Debugging, so you can see the actual door coordiantes.
I found where it’s going but I’m still not exactly sure what I’m doing wrong
I know but I have another door on the same system that works just fine, the only difference is the tutorial door has a frame and moves up and this one does not have a frame and I need it to move to the right instead of up, I don’t understand why changing such small things are breaking it
trust me…the idea is storing the initial value of the door before starting the game…then adding it to the value of the timeline where you use it to animate the door
bec. it animate it via world origin not from it’s initial position
that’s the main reason
It doesn’t matter how many doors you might have in one level; each door must have “x = 0,y = 0 and z = 0” or origin as mentioned above by Omar. This is causing difficulties with any Door animation.
I just want to know why if I’m following the tutorial step by step it isn’t working.
I’m not trying to follow the video, I got the level blueprint working fine, I’m
trying to set up the class blueprint from the tutorial on the wiki here
I got stuck on this for a very long time in these tutorials. It’s simple - you need to ensure that you are animating the door along the correct axis. If you do not have the correct starting position for the door - it will automatically teleport the door to that location and begin animating it there.
Watch the video very carefully and make sure you have all the correct locations referred to
I’m posting this here even if it’s a 2 year old thread, in case someone else has the same issue. I had a similar issue as the orig. poster, followed the tutorial had my door disappearing, didn’t use the unreal downloads though. I made my door (the moving part) the scene root, that was what messed it up. Once I rebuilt with a different scene root it worked as intended.
You said your blueprint has a frame. The door must be at 0,0,0 in the viewport. The frame and everything else around the door in the blueprint must be positioned around the door, not the frame. The door has to to be at the zero point for these tutorials to work. (You could make the door and trigger box its own blueprint and keep the frame out of it to avoid weird pivot points in your mod kit walls)
