Fading Doors and Keypads

How fading doors, buttons, and keypad codes work for bases.

Guide 60newUpdated 2026-04-27

Quick Start

  • Use the Toolgun Fading Door tool to convert a prop.
  • Set a bound key for the door.
  • Place a button or keypad with the same bound key.
  • Use the keypad by looking at it, typing the code, and pressing E or Enter.
  • Owners can trigger their own bound keys from the keyboard.

Details

  • Signals are scoped to the owner, so two players can use the same key safely.
  • Doors can toggle or pulse open depending on their fade duration.
  • Keypads accept digit codes and can hide entry with secure display.
  • The faded state is ghostly instead of fully invisible.
  • Lockpicks can breach fading doors when the raider has the right job/tool.

Gotchas

  • Button behavior comes from the door settings, not a separate button toggle.
  • Looking away releases keypad focus.
  • Rebinding keys will not fire the door while the bind control is capturing input.
  • Empty or invalid keys disable signal activation.
