Cinematic Door

This example will show you how to create a cinematic door that opens and closes with a sound effect.

Setup​

First, we need to create the structures for the door opening, opened, and closed states. We will use vanilla commands to clone the structures to the door's location.

Door clones

Taking the Coordinates​

We need to take the coordinates that will be used to clone the structures to the door's location. We will use the /clone command to copy the structures to the door's location.

First Corner​

Selecting the first corner

Second Corner​

Selecting the second corner

Destination​

Door coordinates

Final Commands​

Door Opening

/clone from minecraft:overworld -3 102 -58 -4 97 -53 to minecraft:overworld 14 97 -58

Door Opened

/clone from minecraft:overworld -7 102 -58 -8 97 -53 to minecraft:overworld 14 97 -58

Door Closed

/clone from minecraft:overworld -10 102 -58 -11 97 -53 to minecraft:overworld 14 97 -58

Creating the Region​

Now that we have the structures, we can create the region.

/rint create (name) (height) (radius)

Door region

info

You can see the created zone by activating hitboxes with the f3+b key combination, or by using the /rint preview (name) [keep] command.

Changing the Task Mode​

We need to change the task mode to SINGLE so the door can only be opened by one person at a time.

/rint taskmode (name)

Logic​

Now we will think about the logic of the door.

Main thought process:

  • Place the Door Opening structure
  • Place the Door Opened structure
  • Place the Door Closed structure

But we should also add a delay between the opening and closing of the door, so it doesn't close immediately after opening

  • Let's add for example a second delay between the opening and opened status
  • Let's add for example a 5 second delay between the opened and closing status

And why not, let's add a sound effect when the door opens and closes

To sum up:

  • Place the Door Opening structure
  • Play the door opening sound
  • Wait 1 second
  • Place the Door Opened structure
  • Play the door opened sound
  • Wait 5 seconds
  • Place the Door Closed structure
  • Play the door closing sound

Configuring the Actions​

Now we will configure the actions for the door.

note

We will use /rint action add (name) (actionType) (action) to add the actions to the door.

List of actions:

  • Console - clone from minecraft:overworld -3 102 -58 -4 97 -53 to minecraft:overworld 14 97 -58
  • Sound - UI_TOAST_CHALLENGE_COMPLETE 1 0
  • Delay - 1
  • Console - clone from minecraft:overworld -7 102 -58 -8 97 -53 to minecraft:overworld 14 97 -58
  • Sound - BLOCK_CHEST_OPEN 1 0
  • Delay - 5
  • Console - clone from minecraft:overworld -10 102 -58 -11 97 -53 to minecraft:overworld 14 97 -58
  • Sound - BLOCK_CHEST_CLOSE 1 0
Example

You can also use the menu in orderto configure everything, but here is an example of how to add the actions using the commands.

Extra​

You could also add a child region to the door to make it so that the door can be opened from the inside and outside.

Creation​

Door child region creation

Now let's add a button, so it is understood that it can be interacted with. I will toggle the region to be able to build inside it.

/rint toggle (name)

Door child region finish style

Configuring the parent​

Now we need to configure the parent region to be able to interact with the child region.

/rint setparent (childName) (parentName)

We now must set the sync settings needed to make the child region work properly.

Door child region sync settings

For this case, we would like to synchronize the toggle, running and task mode.

/rint setsync example-door-inside toggle true
/rint setsync example-door-inside running true
/rint setsync example-door-inside taskmode true
