The Ship Basics: Interactions

Note:For the sake of this article, # represents any arbitrary number.

Creating Doors

1. Create a prop_door_rotating and set its World Model to a door.
2. Name it Door_#
3. Place it in your doorway
4. Make a brush that completely surrounds the door with the material tools/toolsinteractive
5. Select the brush and make it a ship_base_interaction
   1. Set its Parent keyvalue and Target Entity keyvalue to Door_#
   2. Set its Context Sensitive Interface Menu to Door
   3. Set its Default Action to Open

Hopefully this sheds some light on how interactions work; to be more productive, use the door prefabs included in The Ship SDK.
