Solution to the long postponed door bug.

[HetCigarr]

Over the years this bug has reported several times, but seems to have gotten marked with a branding iron "Fix at a later time". I'm talking about zombies always unlocking player-built doors.
I'm quite certain I have pinpointed what is causing this and how to fix it. With years of experience with the gamecode + a quick peak at the information I posted on the subreddit; I imagine fixing it will be completely effortless

Let me know what you think!

You can try modding it in a twisted way, waiting for them to correct it:

Once you lock it in Lua, call:

setIsDoor(false)

 

As a consequence, you may need to do before you try to unlock and store the information that it is a door another way :

setIsDoor(true)

 

It could lead to tricky bugs and good devs would not do that.

Yes, the bug has been reported a number of times but let me reassure you we DO take notice and we WILL eventually get to fixing this.

That's a interesting workaround. I appreciate the suggestion, will definitely play around with that as soon as I my brain is ready for the lua basics
