ah right that's what i thought was the case, as I've had no problems with the autodoor and airlock set up, even made a lovely vertical airlock hangar and horizontal entrance/exit airlock for my ships of the moon, this code and it's effects are a work of beauty, In the video footage I noticed that some of the airlock gates are tagged [Big] and was wondering if the gates infront of the multidoor airlock on the inner side were technically seperate from the multidoor airlock shown, sadly I was wrong and feel a fool not asking sooner lol

There are only 3 commands; save, load, and scan

There is two types of doors. Airlocks and autodoors


Airlocks require two sets of doors, an inner and an outer. The doors are tagged as a single large group divided between inner and outer doors


Autodoors are single doors that open and close depending on proximity. These are for those doors you have laying around to separate rooms in case pressure is lost

They don't support multiple doors opening simultaneously but if you increase the radius enough then doors near you will open sort of like an automated hangar that only opens as wide as necessary


If someone wants a single set of doors to open as a group like the airlocks but with only one set of doors, I would recommend using a sensor and a group

Group your doors in the control panel
Set a sensor in range of the doors
Open the sensor
-On the left (Detects Entity) set it to open the group of doors
-On the right (Doesn't Detect Entity) set it to close the group of doors

E79Tank, the script is designed for airlocks or single doors

For the single doors, it just opens when you're near and closes when you're not

For the airlocks, you need two sets of doors. For your hangar I assume the hangar door is the outermost set of doors. You will need to assign something as the inner door(s) that is attached to the hangar, a single door or something would work.

Name all your hangar doors "Door-40 [Hangar:Outer]"
-This makes it so the doors are registered to the airlock "Hangar" and if someone comes within 40m of any of the doors that hangar door will try to open

Name the inner door(s) "Door-10 [Hangar:Inner]"
-Run the command "Scan" and the airlock will start working

is it possible to see the full list of door commands in the script? trying to make a singular hangar door for earth and can't seem to find the right fit unless i put autodoor and then it only opens a select number of the 1x5 gates depending on where i'm stood or how big my ship is

Works effectively well. Took me some trial and error to set up some airlocks but I managed lol
