@YippingFox No. The funny part about the small grid is that literally every single Hammer tutorial tells you not to use it often. Not using a small grid is like Hammer 101, but it's often easy to forget why. I've had problems with maps myself caused by a specific entity being 1 single unit too small.

I know exactly why the dustbowl door opens upside down. It happened to me. Look above it. Imagine the door’s size. It WILL go up and create an invisible wall on the roof. The ceiling isn’t big enough to hold the door inside. So we make it go down instead. Good thing they caught on that, because it’s hard to notice it if you playtest alone, I mean, who’s gonna open the door for you if you’re above ?

I think one of my favourite doors is upward blu forward spawn in the tunnel. The door brush opens upward, meaning if someone is in the tunnel segment above the spawn they collide with the door. In an open state it pokes about 40 units out of the ground.

dustbowl doors ☠️

Most of this problems come from the fact their didn't use instances back then, a instance is like a piece of a map with props, triggers, door etc, so instead of making the same door over and over you make it to a instance and then just reference it all the times that you need it. And if you find a bug, change the instance and it gets updated to all the maps that use it(they need to be recompiled). Valve enforced instances when building Portal 2's maps, the puzzle's devices are also made from a bunch of different entities working together, if every time these get used the devs change some of them or have to make them from scratch these are more prone to develop problems.

Hopefully all of my subs are also subbed to him!

for the door launch section of the video (11:10), the func door likely moves down so players standing above the door wont get blocked while trying to walk through it while open. this is a problem in some other community maps, but is most notable above blue's 2nd spawn on upward. once the door is open, you cannot enter the side tunnel without crouch jumping over the door.

I think the hoodoo door may have something to do with the sign above it, maybe it has that wacky collision like some of the signs on upward, causing the door to ignore any players blocking it

4:55 Love how heavy wastes no time punishing scout for existing

As someone who has been curious to get into mapmaking, thank you so much for this guide on how to let enemy players into spawn. I'm always disappointed when a map doesn't have at least one funny exploit you can do, so being able to make sure there's at least one on any map that I make really warms my heart.

I expect a detailed tier list on every TF2 door soon

13:46 sounds like it could be a floating point issue. Try placing the door in the same worldspace coordinates as well

the door on dustbowl isnt set to down because "valve didnt notice", its because otherwise the invisible door brush would clip through the top of the walkable area above the door, this is also why they used the animated prop instead of the parented one.

I’ve seen people get stuck on that door on badwater

Something i learnt while using Hammer, with the RespawnRoomVisualiser, while it is a bit of a jankey fix (But lets be honest its hammer, of course it is), there's the Fit button when looking at the texture for the no_Entry that scales it to the size of the visualiser, it can end up looking weird for some doors but for spawnroom doors it looks relatively alright since it only scales up a small bit, that way you can put the visualiser to the size of the door and not have to worry about the issues of the taunts getting through

I can recall like 3 different times where I've gotten stuck in that Badwater door. The worst of all is the defender doors on Swiftwater, I have gotten stuck in those doors a few times over the years.

10:04 I'm pretty sure I died without the enemy team having capped the first point once, it was pretty annoying..

On badwater the same thing that happens with that door can happen with the sign that pops up right near it. Got stuck in it many times.

On dustbowl, the func_door moves down due to the roof above it being playable space. If it opened up, the func_door would become an invisible for anyone on the roof.

Hell yes, I’m gonna watch this all the way through. A 15 minute video about the doors in TF2, awesome.

DOOR STUCK! *DOOR STUCK!*

After 65 million years in development, hopefully it will have been worth the wait.

It happened to me! I got stuck inside that exact door in Badwater, and I had to killbind to get out

That mercenary park death spawn door is like deathrun inserted into the vanilla game; nightmare fuel. Great video, very informative this should be a PSA for any map makers using hammer. I've only seen the hoodoo door glitch of players bounding boxes getting stuck in the spawn door at least once and I've been playing TF2 since 2013.

valve, hire this man.

14:15 I discovered that myself a few days ago. The only purpose it could have is to have a stupid red teleport behind enemy lines, and make it harder to kill, because the door doesn't open. However the geometry above is a chokepoint, so I doubt it is viable.

I am surprised these issues even exist to begin with.

This was really interesting! Having played tf2 for so long I always wondered why some of these things happen. Thank you, LED!

I got stuck in badwater doors once and it wasnt on purpous

Love these sorts of videos man, tf2 mapping is so interesting, keep it up! :)

Trouble at home? Add another visualizer. Trouble at work? Add another visualizer. Don't want the door to kill you? Add another visualizer.

12:58 YO WHAAAT, I THINK I REMEMBER SEEING THAT HAPPEN. i think it either happened to me or i saw someone get stuck right in front of me, or maybe both happened in different games?

TF2 has a lot of problems

Did not know about the trigger_hurt region between the doors of badwater. Guess it was passed over on the pro variant.

The heavy is STUCK!

i always covered the entire respawndoor with visualizer while i making my own map i hope one day you made a video how gates opened cuz it doesnt work well for me anyway great video led keep it up 👍

i wonder if the teammate is necessary to push you closer to the wall for the pyro glitch, since walls typically have that push you a few hammer units away property

Finally a solution to the door problem

I got stuck in the enemy door for like a minute after killing an engineer coming out of it and no one came out to that the whole time, until a spy did and killed me on the way out

i love that all the suggestions for the door clipping fails in any game where you can get over 1000 hp as you can use an engi to telefrag into you and walk thru the doors with ease as long as your hit box's over lap because of the game code

I'm not even a mapper and I love your videos LED, keep it up!

2fort already knew about this problem and fixed it with its secondary spawn doors

On Upward's second spawn it's also annoying when people leave spawn and the door over extends above and blocks the path on the bridge and you need to croutch above it.

don't you dare get them to fuck with my funny doors

The thumbnail led me to believe that someone was somehow able to spend 15 minutes talking about bumping into the corners of door frames

door stuck

Such simple warnings of potentially unwanted behavior, and/or visual cues, that could be added to the software, but that's too much to ask.

This is what years without an update-sized update do to a game's creators, we get to talk about doors now

To be honest, Wutville is so broken, I would say the spawn rooms are the least problematic.

One possible way to solve some of these problems is adding a second door with a slight gap between both doors so one door is closed while another is open (not regarding multiple teammates)

I like the spawn doors in Suijin, you can crouchwalk into the edge of them

I just make one visualizer out of multiple brushes. One square one with the no entry texture, the rest textured with nodraw. I've always done it that way. I only recently even _knew_ official maps ever did it differently.

Mercenary Park has the right idea, ever door should have the ability to kill you

I got stuck in a door on swiftwater once as a checkpoint was reached and the door became unavailable and my teammates just spammed the laugh taunt at me

It's sad seeing all the funny map glitches get "fixed" out of the game. The frontier one especially hurts as now you have have to put to put tele exits out on the stupid catwalk lining your teammates up for snipers like a shooting gallery.

They could've just enabled the clamp x and y on the vtf to stretch the brush without repeating, as its sides are transparent
