Make it an activator that moves whoever uses it to a marker where you want them to exit. The only problem is that NPCs won't use it without specifically telling them to, and then giving them something specific to do on the other side, the door won't register as being a path between points so their pathing between linked areas would have to be forced or augmented through scripting. Compass markers also shouldn't work properly. Just remember to add door sounds and anything else (like logic switches) within the scripting before the move takes place.

Can u think of an object in game that acts this way so that i may be able have a look and see

You could do it like that, or you do it the easy way. Take the door you want and go to the base object (where you can change the editor ID, add a script, etc.). Change the editor ID to something unique, and tick the 'hidden' box. That should work.

Easier yes, but not as fun or effective. NPCs would still use that door as a door, and it would still be used by compass markers. The things that make the activator door harder to do also make it more hidden.

 

In both cases though, you might still want to attach scripting to block action when you don't want the player or anyone else using that door. A simple Return function within the wanted conditions within an Onactivate block should work well enough.
