I know what everything in the code does but I guess I'm not showing it properly?
Oh, I missed that you commented the code and removed the asTimer. Still, I've underlined some mysterious things for you:
//Makes it able for the Crowbar_joint to collide with the area in my case the area is named BreakDoor
//Calls a timer that places the crowbar in the door frame.
AddTimer(asEntity, 0.2, "TimerSwitchShovel");
//Remove callback incase player never touched door
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("NAMEOFDOOR", "", true);
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("NAMEOFTHEAREA", "", true);
}
//The timer we called before
void TimerSwitchShovel(string &in asTimer)
{
//Plays the sound of the player putting the crowbar in the doorframe
PlaySoundAtEntity("attachshovel","puzzle_place_jar.snt", "Player", 0, false);
//Sets your crowbar_dyn active
SetEntityActive("NAMEOFYOURCROWBAR_DYN", true);

BreakDoor is what I call the area the crowbar collides with that calls the function CollideAreaBreakDoor
//Calls a timer that places the crowbar in the door frame.
AddTimer(asEntity, 0.2, "TimerSwitchShovel");
hmm never thought about that, will be changed
//Remove callback incase player never touched door
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("NAMEOFDOOR", "", true);
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("NAMEOFTHEAREA", "", true);
Doesn't need to be there, changed now
//The timer we called before
void TimerSwitchShovel(string &in asTimer)
{
//Plays the sound of the player putting the crowbar in the doorframe
PlaySoundAtEntity("attachshovel","puzzle_place_jar.snt", "Player", 0, false);
Changed
//Sets your crowbar_dyn active
SetEntityActive("NAMEOFYOURCROWBAR_DYN", true);
Changed with a better description (I think?)

Sorry for bumping this but when the door opens it glitches out from the door frame. is there a way to "slow the door down",

Regardless, the impulse of the door may be your problem, either by direction or that your impulse is a little too much. Assuming your using the same code as the OP, take a look at this line:
PHP Code:
AddPropImpulse("NAMEOFYOURDOOR", 0, 0, 3, "world");
That 3 is the Z Coordinate, meaning the door will fling in that direction. Try making that a negative. So that it becomes -3.
PHP Code:
AddPropImpulse("NAMEOFYOURDOOR", 0, 0, -3, "world");
If that doesn't work, try moving that 3 to the X coordinate. So it looks like this:
PHP Code:
AddPropImpulse("NAMEOFYOURDOOR", 3, 0, 0, "world");
And of course, if that still doesn't work, try a negative three in the X. If it still glitches out, lower the three to a two. An impulse of three should work fine, but an impulse of 1 is not really noticeable. You shouldn't need to put it in the Y coordinate

Mixed around with your tips and the door seems fixed now! Thanks =D!
Alraight, so instead of bumping an old thread i should create a completely new instead.
