# How to open garage doors

## Summary

**Published:** Nov 10 by [Sergey](mailto:undefined)\
Last documented update: Nov 24 by [Sergey](mailto:undefined)

This page will teach you how to create an auto-opening garage door via .questphase file with either [CET](https://wiki.redmodding.org/cyber-engine-tweaks/) or [Redscript](https://wiki.redmodding.org/redscript/).

### Wait, this is not what I want!

* If you want to learn about [World Editing](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/modding-guides/world-editing.md), please check the corresponding section.
* [NodeRefs](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-creators-theory/files-and-what-they-do/file-formats/the-whole-world-.streamingsector/noderefs.md) explained.

## Requirements

* [ArchiveXL](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-creators-theory/core-mods-explained/archivexl.md)
* [RedHotTools](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-creators-theory/modding-tools/redhottools.md)
* An existing door (if you don't have one, head to[Archived: Merging World Additions via ArchiveXL](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/modding-guides/world-editing/archived-guides/adding-locations-and-structures-with-archivexl.md))

## Opening a door via .questphase

Since we are in the quest section I'll show how to open it within `.questphases` and using "native" nodes.

1. Create a basic structure for our quest

2. Find the door you want to open. Make sure it's not a texture (collisionNode). For example, i took a maelstrom gate.

   From there we need its [`NodeRef`](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-creators-theory/files-and-what-they-do/file-formats/the-whole-world-.streamingsector/noderefs.md).Its global identifier. You can find it on its WorldSector.

3. Create `pauseCondition` on distance and `interactiveObjectManager` in our `.questphase`

4. Showcase

## Worth mentioning.

To close the door you need to create another condition and use `ForceClose` and `ForceLock` respectively.

Door can be `Sealed` so pay attention to this too.
