So I've been struggling to get this to work how I want it, I originally tried the following

PHP Code:

{
        if (g_bOpenDoors)
        {
                new ent = MAXPLAYERS+1;
                while((ent = FindEntityByClassname(ent, "func_door"))!=-1) 
                {
                        if (IsValidEdict(ent))
                        {
                                AcceptEntityInput(ent, "unlock", -1);
                                AcceptEntityInput(ent, "open", -1);
                        }
                }
                
                ent = MAXPLAYERS+1;
                while((ent = FindEntityByClassname(ent, "prop_dynamic"))!=-1) 
                {
                        if (IsValidEdict(ent))
                        {
                                new String:tName[64];
                                GetEntPropString(ent, Prop_Data, "m_iName", tName, sizeof(tName));
                                if ((StrContains(tName,"door",false)!=-1) || (StrContains(tName,"gate",false)!=-1))
                                {
                                        AcceptEntityInput(ent, "unlock", -1);
                                        AcceptEntityInput(ent, "open", -1);
                                }
                        }
                }
        }
} 


While this appears to work, the doors close if a player walks through the trigger that is meant to open the door.

I then attempted to use Stripper:Source to simply remove all func_doors, while this does remove the doors it also leaves the texture of the doors there (This causes no issues as you can just pass straight through them, however it confuses players), I figured the following in Stripper would remove those annoying textures however it did not

PHP Code:

modify:
{
    match:
    {
    "model" "models/props_gameplay/door_slide_large_door.mdl"
    "classname" "prop_dynamic"
    }
    delete:
    {
    "model" "models/props_gameplay/door_slide_large_door.mdl"
    }
} 


Am I missing something extremely obvious here?

How about this?

PHP Code:

if (g_bOpenDoors) {
    new ent = MAXPLAYERS+1;
    while((ent = FindEntityByClassname(ent, "func_door"))!=-1) {
        if (IsValidEdict(ent)) {
            AcceptEntityInput(ent, "KillHierarchy");
        }
    }
}

You use the inputs unlock and open, but have you tried locking it open? I don't know if it will work, but it is worth a try.

Killing doors is a problem simply because well-optimized maps have func_areaportals inside doors... and their open/close state is directly tied to the door's.

I'd recommend trying what Marcus_Brown001 suggested.

I have never tested it on func_door's, but on a rotating door I remember being able to open it, and lock it open. Then whenever someone tried to close it, it would do the locked animation.

Ive some methods off forcing doors here: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=1863390
Basically you have 4 options:
1) Delete them, and force areaportsls open (preferably just those associated with given doors)
2) Force them open, and disable their associated trigger_multiple by either deleting it, or by hooking its start touch and returning plugin_handled
3) take freak fortress 2's approach, and constantly send inputs to open them on a timer.
4) use stripper source to set them up, so they are how you want them before the map runs.

And yes, killing doors will generally nuke their parented models, which will reveal nodraw.
Generally best to force them open and nuke the triggers that is used to close them. Also make sure to disable the auto close.

I hate to be a pain, could you provide some example code?

Locking will do nothing if a trigger sends an input to force the door...

Suggestion on how to remove only the triggers for the doors and not every trigger?

Well, you could try modifying tf_filter_team entities, so the filters always fail, pretty much only doors/buttons use them. Likewise, you could just disable the trigger multiples multiples since mostly just doors use them. Its likely the origins of the triggers will be within say, 20-50 units of the door origins they are responsible for too. Unfortunately you cannot easily read inputs/outputs of entities in game.

Honestly, the easiest way would just be to throw them all in an adt array, and just send them open inputs every 0.1 seconds. Its hacky, but its always going to work, on any map... Just find them all on round start.
