Screen-doors: How to start the film before the doors open?

So maybe I haven´t thought this through, but here is what I want to do:
Since the Lift hills on the Barghest and the Tiamat don´t function as block sections (That´s a bug by the way!)
I tend to have a train leaving the sation, roll to the foot of the hill, were it sits for a moment until it proceeds up the lift.

So I put a screen door before the lift to entertain the riders with a short movie before the door opens.
But Of course the movie starts as soon as the door opens, due to being triggered by the starting train.
Is there a way to start the film clip (or have it run continually) before the door opens?

No sadly not,i've tried the same thing. They should make the trigger for the screen and the door opening two different triggers.[sour]

Sadly no.... But here is the thing: The Door can be triggered multiple times when the Video Clip is playing.

I used this for my Horror Heights Type attraction. I added 6.14 Seconds of Black Screen to the Footage so the Videoclip starts exactly when the Door opening and closing animation is finished. Then i just tell it when to open again. And as long as the Clip is playing it doesn't start over.


So as long as you are able to hide that the Door opened before, you're good ;)

Edit:

It would be awesome of course if Frontier made it possible to

A: give us seperate controls over the Screen and the opening Animation and,

B: Give us control over the time the Door remains open.
