Airtight Force Field Hangar Doors

A couple of hangar door blocks of different length that can be switched between

• airtight but permeable to characters, ships, etc. (open, green)
  
• non-permable (closed, blue)
  
• off but unfortunately still airtight :(

• force field length of 1 through 10 blocks
  
• closed state catches bullets
  
• longer force fields are substantially more demanding in terms of energy consumption and components
  
• survival-ready with both construction and LOD models.
  
• the blocks use vanialla textures (except for the field itself, obviously)
  
• one purely decorative base-block without force field for the sides
  
• small block versions
  
• colors can be defined by adding the following key value pairs to the block name:
  cc <color when closed>
  co <color when opened>
  e.g. "Force Field Door 123 co blue cc red" is blue when open and red when closed
  see screenshot for color names (I know, that "lime" doesn't quite fit the color...)

Here's a big thank you to Shaostoul for his invaluable tutorials on SE modding with blender whithout the help of which I could hardly have achieved any of this. Thanks so much for taking the time to explain everything from setting up the utilities to exporting and debugging! I also used the TransparentMaterials.sbc from his force field block as a template.


I found a fix to update the positions of the subparts in single player so that the block moves with the ships. However, I did not find a way to do that every frame, but only every 10th frame, so it moves somewhat laggy... As long as your ship stands still it's fine, though. See the discussion for further details if you think you can contribute to a solution.
