	Now it is time to go over making and interacting with doors. Keep in mind that everything in Dark Forces that moves is an elevator. This means that doors as well, are just different variations of elevators. One important to keep remember is that while you can always make a door with INF logic, it is '''much easier''' to just set the Flag 1 value to '''2''' (Door), and it has an additional benefit: enemies chasing the player can open the doors in their way, but cannot operate elevators. This can be used either way - to prevent the player from "cheaply" escaping through the door, but also elegantly preventing the enemies from reaching the areas where you don't want them .

			Additionally, you can see that it has a '''key''' parameter. You can use this to make your door require a key before opening.

	Now the reason the audio is different for this door is because all elevators have different default audio assigned to them. Here is a nice chart showing all the default values of by elevator type.
