In Marketplace Products

Most maps and adventures on the Marketplace have any doors on the maps draw with a different color from normal walls on the Dynamic Lighting layer. This makes them easier for the GM to spot.

To let a player through a "door", GM can select the "door"-segment while on the Dynamic Lighting layer, and then move it to the GM layer.

Manually Simulate Doors

Prep
1. Draw the door-segment on the DL layer, using a distinct color from normal walls.
2. Draw/copy the segment to the Map layer, if you want to leave a visual indicator for players of the doors position.
3. Make sure Advanced Shortcuts are turned on (y My Settings-tab )

Quickly open door:

API

Main Page: Script:Door Knocker

Door Knocker is an API that can be used to quickly open and close "doors" by controlling the dynamic lighting lines. It can also produce windows, to block movement without blocking sight. Created by Scott C.
