well i was watching some tutorals that says you can create objects that have obsureing view already on it when you throw it onto the map..but i havent seen any tutorials that showed so i guess my question is how do i make a door that has a built-in obsureing

Are you asking how to create the graphic, or how do you make it pivot like in the video?

If it is the graphic, I make most of mine in PhotoShop, but honestly there are huge repositories of images that you can find. Start by going to the MapTool forums. You’ll find a ton of stuff there. Also, I participate in those forums as RPMiller so you can more easily ask questions there.

That is called built-in VBL and it does not exist… yet. There is talk on the forums about adding in 1.4, but currently it doesn’t exist.

As the description says it is for a program called MapTool.
