'''Hiding''' is a basic [[Game Mechanics|mechanic]] which allows [[Player|players]] to utilize specific pieces of furniture to survive from certain [[List of Entities|entities]].

=={{Icons|Overview}} Overview==
When the [[player]] is near a ''hiding'' spot like a wardrobe or a bed, the ''hiding'' ({{Icons|Hiding}}) icon will appear. By pressing {{Key|E}} on PC, the "[[Controls|''hiding'' button]]" on Mobile or [[File:Xbox Button X.png|23px|link=]] on Xbox, it will play a short animation of the player entering the closet, or crawling underneath the bed (for The Hotel, or The Backdoor [only closet]), locker or fridge (The Rooms), or entering the lockers, crawling into sewage grates, or getting into the dumpsters. To exit a ''hiding'' spot, players will need to walk forward or press the exit button on mobile.

===[[Hotel|The Hotel]]===
'''Wardrobes'''

Wardrobes are the most abundant ''hiding'' spot in [[Hotel|The Hotel]]. They act as a basic ''hiding'' spot that can protect you from some [[List of Entities|entities]]. The [[player]] hides in them by getting into the empty interior and closing the wardrobe doors.

'''Tool Cupboards'''

Tool Cupboards or Sheds are the closets found inside [[The Greenhouse]] and [[The Courtyard]]. They appear as the closet listed above but rougher and in worse shape. The player hides in them the same way as a closet.

'''Beds'''

Beds are ''hiding'' spots found in [[Hotel|The Hotel]] that the player can hide under. They appear to be just a normal bed with red covers white pillows. The player hides under the side they are facing.

Multiple types of beds can spawn. One has a singular pillow and can hide one person. The second has two pillows and is slightly larger. This bed can hide three people. The last bed is the the [[The Infirmary]] and is not intractable.

===[[The Mines]]===
'''Lockers'''

Lockers are the most abundant ''hiding'' spot in [[The Mines]] and protect the player from some [[List of Entities|entities]]. They appear to be an empty locker with two doors and a dark gray texture. The player hides in it the same way as a closet.

'''Dumpsters'''

Dumpsters are ''hiding'' spots uncommonly found in The Mines. They can be found in the four-way junction and [[Floods|flooded rooms]]. The player hides in them by opening the lid and jumping in. Unlike other hiding spots, dumpsters can allow two players to hide at the same time.

'''Sewage Grates'''

Sewage Grates are ''hiding'' spots in The Mines that can protect you from some entities. It appears to be a grate with a hollow pipe behind it. The player hides in it by opening the grate and climbing in.

===[[The Rooms]]===
'''Lockers'''

Lockers are main ''hiding'' spot in [[The Rooms]]. Appears as a one door locker with a cubic design. This has a basic animation of the camera swinging to the locker.

'''Fridge'''

A ''hiding'' spot that only appears in the room with the fridge. It is the same as the rooms locker except with a white color.

===[[The Backdoor]]===
'''Backdoor Closet'''

Backdoor Closets look like a mix of the closet and tool shed. It functions identically to the wardrobe beside from the absence of [[Hide]].


See the example below to know which [[List of Entities|entities]] can be avoided ''hiding'' and which cannot. (Note: harmless entities not included)

===Notes===
*The only spots considered ''hiding'' spots by the game are wardrobes, beds and lockers.
**However, it is possible to hide from [[Rush]] or [[Ambush]] without ''hiding'' by staying out of their line of sight. Doing this for the first time awards the player with the In Plain Sight [[achievement]].
*Once the [[player]] is inside a closet or underneath a bed, the game will consider the player hidden.
*The game will consider the player hidden after entering a ''hiding'' spot, even if the animation has not finished playing.
**This will keep the player safe from [[A-60]], [[A-120]], Rush, Ambush, [[Screech]] and [[Figure]].
<!--***However, be sure to remember to keep an eye on the Heartbeat Minigame in [[The Library]] and [[The Electrical Room]] when hiding from the Figure.-->
**As of the Hotel+ Update, ''hiding'' after Screech appears will despawn it.
* Out of every hiding spot, [[Jack]] can only appear inside wardrobes, in The Hotel.
*The player was unable to hide in a closet during [[Seek]]'s chase, this is due to a bug forcing the player to constantly move forwards, therefore the player will always exit any closets.
**As of the [[Update Logs|Hotel+ Update]], the player needs to hold {{Key|W}} to run, so the player is able to hide in a closet during a Seek Chase, if there are any at all. 
***Seek is still able to kill ''hiding'' players.
****This may also be a reference to the phrase "You can run, but you can't hide (although the "hide" is not present)" mentioned in Seek's achievement, since the player can run to survive Seek but they can't hide from it.
* Only one player can hide in each ''hiding'' spot. Multiple players cannot hide together.
**This is not the case in [[2024 April Fools Event]].
**The garbage bin in [[The Mines]], lets 2 players in at a time.
*Closets can not be entered from behind. Doing so will grant the player with a block symbol in their screen that flashes slowly in red and white. 
**However, they can be entered from the sides.
*In one of the rooms within [[The Rooms]] subfloor, there is a locker colored white to mimic the style of a fridge. 
**There are also a type of uninteractable locker within a room type called "Broken Lockers" which the player cannot hide in.
* Players may hide in lockers for as long as they wish in The Rooms and [[The Backdoor]] as [[Hide]] is not present on these [[floors]].

*The player used to be able to hide under the beds in [[The Infirmary]] before The Hunt Update, but this feature was removed for unknown reasons.

=={{Icons|Modifiers}} Modifiers==
{{Modifier|bordercolor=#ffa093|bgcolor=#6b281e|textcolor=#ffa093|text=Nowhere To Hide|textcolor2=#c1786e|text2=Hiding spots are no longer guaranteed for everyone.|increase=10}}

==Bugs== 
* There used to be a glitch where ''hiding'' under a bed would result in the [[player]]'s camera clipping through the floor. This has since been fixed.
*There is a bug, when leaving under the bed, the camera will not have animation.
*There is a bug where the player character's camera will move similar to walking animation, before exiting the closet.
*If a player hides while holding a [[Puzzle Painting]], the player's point of view will tilt awkwardly.
*There is a bug where if the player hides under a bed behind a big sized window but on top of the bed, the animation has a chance to glitch out and make the player stuck outside.
*There is a bug with beds, where if the player hides near the corner, exits, and during the exit animation does a "freeze tab glitch", it's possible to go through the floor, causing the player's death or [[Glitch]] to appear and teleport them. This bug is not consistent and it is hard to replicate.
*If the player hides (or unhides) right before being teleported by [[Void]], the closet/bed will despawn during the animation, this will cause the teleport to fail, and the player will fall into the void. Glitch will normally teleport the player to the last opened room in these cases.
*In [[The Mines]], it is possible to survive [[Rush]] and [[Ambush]] by opening the topmost drawer(or the single drawer) and then crouching into it.<small>[4]</small>

=={{Icons|Trivia}} Trivia ==
*
*It is possible to complete a round of ''DOORS'' without interacting with any ''hiding'' spots by being out of range or sight when [[Rush]] or [[Ambush]] attacks and keeping a distance when Figure appears.
*There is a <math>\frac {1}{200}</math> chance that [[Jack]] will appear to block [[Player|players]] from ''hiding'' in a wardrobe.
*The animation of ''hiding'' in a closet is similar to the animation of hiding in a closet and locker from CASE: Animatronics.
*Players were able to crawl into vents to hide in plain sight before [[Removed Content|Vent Rooms]]' removal.
*Hide is not present in closets while [[Figure]] is active in [[The Library]] or [[The Electrical Room]], so players may hide for as long as they wish. As The Mines update now hide can spawn in door 50, because of the Heartbeat minigame removal.
**However, once the exit door of The Library is opened and closed, Hide is normal.
***Due to the exit door not closing if a [[2023 April Fools Event#Items|Holy Hand Grenade]] is used on Figure in the library, Hide will not appear for the rest of the game.
*Redibles has claimed to have ideas for uses for ''hiding'' under beds.<ref>[https://twitter.com/RediblesQW/status/1567307118436356101 Q: "Is hiding under beds going to gain a use?" A: "i have been brainstorming ways to give it a use and i have a couple of ideas, we'll see" -Redibles]</ref>
**After the Hotel+ update, Rush and Ambush can now spawn in rooms that have beds, giving beds a use. However, if Ambush were to appear, it's recommended to hide in a closet as the bed animation takes longer than the closet animation. 
***It should be noted however, that the player is immune to the [[List of Entities|entities]] during the animations. However, the player is not immune to Rush nor Ambush during the exiting animation of the closet, despite being immune to other entities, such as [[Eyes]].
*There was initially going to be a Jack-esque mechanic for beds, although it was scrapped due to [[Lightning Splash|LSPLASH]] not following through, although it may come back at a later time.<ref>[https://doors-game.fandom.com/wiki/Message_Wall:WowzersItsMe?threadId=4400000000000112679#4400000000000452857] Q: "Will there be a Jack for Vents or Beds????" A: "there originally was going to be a jack-equivalent for hiding under the beds but wasn't added due to splash not going through with it (though it might come back at a later time)" -Wowzers</ref>
*Before [[Update Logs|The Mines Update]], lockers from [[The Rooms]] used to not have an animation, this is possibly to mimic the way that a player hides in lockers in the original Rooms created by nicorocks5555.
**In Rooms by nicorocks5555, however, to hide, the player need to sit on a 'Seat' part that is inside lockers, which will give players invulnerability to entities when sat on.
* The ''hiding'' in closet animation opens the door to the next room if the closet is close to it.  
**The same goes with lockers in The Rooms with teleportation of player's character in the locker.
*With The Hunt Update, camera rotation inside ''hiding'' spots has increased.
