Default can you make a unidirectional door in sims 3?
is it possible to make a unidirectional door in sims 3?
in sims 1 i know you could make one with a one tile door and some strategically placed wall but so far i have been unable to do it in sims 2 or 3.
the reason i want one is that i'm trying to create a maintenance corridor in my mansion and to stop unauthorized sims from using it i have to have a locked door in all room access points and the main access point. every time i wish to allow another sim to use it i have to go to every door and change its owner. but if i could put unidirectional doors as the room access points then i could control who uses it and who doesn't with just a single locked door.

Have a look at some of Flyby's doors, there may be something suitable for you there.

while those doors look useful, they are all bidirectional.
but thank you for the suggestion

When I do things like this I usually use a tomb hidden door with a torch switch on the wall next to it. Sims won't autonomously use the torch or inspect the hidden door, but any directed sim can pull the torch and go inside. I link up the torch trigger "pull" to the activated behavior "open", and then link up "walk through" on the door to "hide" so it resets after each use.

but then the chores couldn't be done autonomously, there by defeating the point of this system. i have also tried using a series of secret doors that open and close when sims walk though them, but this results in aether me having to guide their every move or it breaks down when more then one sim goes though it and i end up with these big bulky 12 by 8 chambers.

as far as I can see, the reason we don't have unidirectional doors in ts3 like we did for ts2 and ts1, is that doors are no longer two tile objects. It used to be that different code and different properties could be set for each OBJD chain. But now a door only has one OBJD and one single process to get the sim through it.
