    Great things has happened to the doors, they can now spawn closed (yay!) but the option to make automatic doors are still greyed out for me. Is there something I'm missing? How do I make an automatic sliding door that opens upon entering vicinity?

    Apologies if this has been answered already, I was unable to find anything with the search function.
     
    Automatic doors are easy enough, but requires some understanding of kismet and matinee. I was planning on doing a basic tutorial but time and proper planning has put it off a bit. I did a brief test video (non public) which includes an auto door with sounds and light/material changes:

    Since I can't say for sure when I'm ready to make a proper tutorial out of it I can give you a basic written rundown.

    Each door (left and right) are InterpActors hooked up to a matinee movement. The door is wrapped in a trigger which, when a pawn touches it, plays the matinee movement of the doors opening, and triggers a sound effect, toggles light and changes material on the door frame (which is also an InterpActor).
