Function

The purpose of the door block is for access control. Like any typical door, it lets players walk/fly through it while being able to close itself. Since the release of Update 01.037.012, Factions now determine whether or not other players (other than the owner) has access to the door block.

Usage

The door is a very simple block, and simple to operate.

  • To open a door, it first must be powered. Then, the player may simply point their curser (mouse pointer) at the Control Panel while close to the door, and press the action button (see Controls). Similarly, the player may also open and close the door via the control interface menu.
