Elevator doors?

[MightyMidget]

I want to make double doors for my elevator that open like real elevator doors, one door slides to the left the other door to the right. Could someone please explain how I can do this? I know how to make a door, but i have no clue how to make eeach door go in the right direction. Thanks.

You make 2 doors, and set the proper direction in the entity menu for each one so they slide away from each other.

 

Then add the key team and a value (like el_doors1) to both doors. Just make sure that both doors have the same value and they'll both open at the same time.

what would the proper direction be?

I read a door tutorial and figured it out btw is there any way to change the size of the area that if you're in it the door automatically opens?

Yepp, make a brush which will be the area you want. Then cover the whole brush with system/trigger. Now right click, then select trigger \ trigger_multiple. You just have to target the trigger to one of the doors (if they have the same key value as Eldritch said) or to both of them (in this case you don't need the team key).
