Universal Door Blueprint - FAQ And Tips

Tips and frequently asked questions about the Door Blueprint.

It will be fixed with the next update. Meanwhile you can fix it yourself.

• Open the BP_StandardDoor blueprint
• Open the function Add Hardware Offset
• Search for the green commented area align shutter double door
• Add the function Get Door Frame Offset and connect it with the multiplier node as seen in the image
• Compile and Save.

Sometimes the door mesh seems to flicker or the textures look low res. This seems to happen after moving the blueprint around. I am guessing it is a general Unreal 5 issue. You can fix this by ticking either the 'Is Double Door' or 'Flip Door' option twice.

The yellow marker around the door always seems to flicker a bit in Unreal no matter which actor is selected. You can safely ignore this.

In the Character or Controller

This part applies to projects with custom characters or controllers that are not part of the UI3.

1. The Game Mode is set in the World Settings. The interaction can either be set up in the Character (Default Pawn Class) or Controller (Player Controller Class).
2. Open the blueprint that should interact with the door. Add the same blueprint interface that is used in the door blueprints (UI3 or Door Interaction) to the Class Settings. You may have to switch to the full blueprint editor.
3. Add the nodes seen in the image starting with the Input key of your choice > Collect all actors with the interface implemented > loop through the actors and call the Interact function by dragging it from the Array Element pin of the loop.

Compile and Save the Character or Controller.
