One thing I'd like to have in this mod is TW's design for the Nod War Factory.

I would see it as totally possible, as long as we can get the door anim to cover the unit

the DOOR ANIM is represented in grey, and the dotted outline represents the unit behind it

I also think it would be cool if we could get it to work as a REPAIR BAY, as well. What do you think?

That petal thing is cool, but shouldn't only half or so open because oh that tower thing behind it?
But the problem is will TS let the animation work right and look good. Because in Team Black's idea the animation covers the unit, but in the petal one the unit would seem like it comes out of now where, at least how I'm thinking of it.

Both ideas work. An important point to know is, that the Door always covers the leaving unit. So the Door should be big enough in both ideas, to cover the unit while it is still closed in frame 0.
So it is just a proper size adjustment for the door.
But something that may not work in the petal idea is, that the petals open that wide, that they almost lie on the ground and the unit walks over them.(like lightstorm drew it) Because the door/petals would still hide the unit.
So the petals should open until they stand vertical (90°) and then the petals slide in the ground.

And to avoid, that it looks like the unit is coming out of nowhere, the petals could stand in an angle of 45° together while closed. (forming something like a tent or a closed rose bloom) They don't have to be that flat.
