DoorJam

An Owlbear Rodeo enhancement that turns ordinary door artwork into synchronized controls for Dynamic Fog, Smoke & Spectre!, and Stage Manager

Quick Start

Source code

To install DoorJam:

Open the Owlbear Rodeo Extras menu, and select Extensions.
Click the Add Extension (+) button, and enter the following URL:
Click Add.

To use DoorJam:

Drag an image representing a closed door over a Dynamic Fog or Smoke & Spectre! door or a Stage Manager elevator.
Use the DoorJam tools, or right-click context menu, to link the door item to the nearest door or elevator.
Assign an image to represent the open state. Your DoorJam door is now linked to the door or elevator. You can operate doors from either the DoorJam tools or the linked door item. Elevators are enabled or disabled based on the door's state.

Of course, you can use DoorJam without linking it to a door or elevator to create a simple, visual door open/close effect. In this case, you're simply switching between two images, so you're not necessarily limited to "doors".

Tool Modes

DoorJam Tools (J)

Opens the DoorJam tool rail.

Operate Door (O)

Clicking an established DoorJam door item with this tool will toggle its open/closed state. If the door is linked to a Dynamic Fog or Smoke & Spectre! door, that door will open or close accordingly.

Lock/Unlock Door (L)

Clicking an established DoorJam door item with this tool will toggle its locked/unlocked state. Locked doors are not operable by players (even if player door operation is otherwise allowed). However, doors are always operable by a GM.

Set Image (I)

Clicking an item with this tool will allow you to set the images for the open and closed state. Once both images are set, the item becomes an operable DoorJam door.

Link/Create Dynamic Fog Door (Y)

Clicking an item with this tool will attempt to link it to an existing Dynamic Fog door, or create a new Dynamic Fog door where the image intersects with a fog boundary. This enables synchronized operation between the door and the fog effect.

Edit Dynamic Fog Door (E)

Selecting this tool will allow you to edit the position and size of any Dynamic Fog door in the scene. This is useful for fine-tuning the door's placement and dimensions after it has been automaticallycreated.

Link/Create Smoke & Spectre! Door (K)

Clicking an item with this tool will attempt to link it to an existing Smoke & Spectre! door, or create a new Smoke & Spectre! door where the image intersects with a straight, unbroken Obstruction Line. This enables synchronized operation between the door and the obstruction line.

Link Stage Manager Elevator (U)

Clicking an item with this tool will open a dialog to link it to one or more existing Stage Manager elevators. Closing the door will disable all linked elevators, and opening the door will enable them.

Break Link (B)

Clicking an item with this tool will allow you to break the link between it and any associated Dynamic Fog or Smoke & Spectre! door. The item will still behave as a standard, DoorJam door, and can be linked to another door as desired.

Remove Door (R)

Clicking an item with this tool will change it from a DoorJam door to a standard object. If the item is currently linked to a Dynamic Fog or Smoke & Spectre! door, the link will be broken but the underlying door will remain.

Allow/Prevent Player Door Operation (X)

Clicking this tool enables or disables player operation of all DoorJam doors in the scene. Individual door operation can be overridden with the Lock/Unlock Door tool.

Settings

Clicking this tool will open the DoorJam settings panel, where you can configure options and preferences for the extension.
