Entity description

An entity used to place a standard door in the world.

For a sliding door, use func_door instead. For a brush-based rotating/pivoting door, use func_door_rotating instead.

To make a pair of doors open and close together, give them the same targetname.

• See also WiseDoor - Example use and illustration of doors.
