[Please Look Into] Doors

    I understand when Layout Editor was our only recourse to change the pitch/roll of items, it wasn't in SoE's best interest to fix this, but now with pitch/roll added to the decorator tool in game, I feel this is an issue that needs addressing.

    I bought the snowy dwelling, and while I love it, it's not perfect. The giant hole in the floor leading to the basement is an eyesore. I wanted to make a "trap door" using the Qeynos Inlaid Door. I changed the pitch in layout editor and tested it. When you click to open the door, it uprights itself.

    The same result was produced using the decorator tool in game.

    Please look into this, as it would allow us to much more creatively use doors. Thank you.

    I placed a manor door at that opening with the door handle away from window. Then I rotated it to fit, used pitch to get it even with floor, and then sunk it down. When I open it, it slides into the floor (under the floor) on the side of the fireplace, basically disappearing while it's open.
    I LOVE the effect. I'd rather see this than a door flying open from the floor.
    Maybe try playing with yours at different rotations? I do not use editor at all, only the in-game decorator tool. Hope my poor explanation can help you some.

    Doors, doors! We need more doors! Trap doors, double doors, doors where the top and bottom open separately. Please, MORE DOORS!

    Could you post some screenshots? :)

    Sure thing! First image is closed door. Second image is open. The animation of the door opening is that it stays flat with floor and rotates clockwise. While the door is open, you can see the door handle on the left there. ;)

    You're welcome! Glad I could help. Does your door slide into floor, too? It is kind of cool!

    It totally slides into the floor, too. It's not a bug, it's a feature!
