Making a hole in a wall , how is best. + shake Frequency

[Dozzy]

What is the best method of creating a hole in a wall for a player to walk, jump or crawl through, without it looking un-natural.

What lvl should I use on env shake for a train rumbling overhead, with u in a tunnel, I would like it to be a very small vibration without throwing the player around too much

One last thing... is it possible to have a door lock after it closes once you have passed through it?

plz help

Thx

dont use boolean. create the walls as seperate obs(brushes) like boxes or whatever. if you want some angled geometry use wedges like triangles etc.

not sure about the train rumble.. test it out...

its possible, is this for SP or MP?
you can script it... or make the door brush only open one way.

the locking door is for single player

As for making a "hole" in the wall, I assume you mean something like this:

Notice how to top view and side view look. Understanding this picture helped me make doors alot easier.

or make the door brush only open one way.

Do you mean that you can only open it from one side of the door?

If so, how do you do that?
