Follow this tutorial, then at the end, add this output to the "trigger_ball_trap":

OnStartTouch ==> [name of your door] ==> Open

It's not really working.. can you tell me more want i have to do?

It's basically the same as opening a door with a button. The only difference is that it has to be OnStartTouch instead of OnOpen, and there is no output to close the door.

In your catch_trigger just put the following output: OnTrigger-->DoorName-->Open

Not to get on your case or anything but spend some time looking through the Wiki and Tutorials sections, especially the Mapping tutorials. You will find almost all your answers in these sections. If you're still stumped Search the forums, odds are someone has already asked and answer your question.

or you can click the "quote" button above said persons quote and it will automatically do it for you

didn't see that...

I tried using the = sign, but without quotation marks around the name.
