### ▶ ISSUE EXPERIENCED

👇 _DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD._  
When positionning walls next to a door that goes diagonally from the south to the north, the walls doesn’t apply correctly their graphic sprite, considering the door as a connection even if it’s not the angle at wich the door should connect to the wall section.

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

Wall to not try to connect to invisible (walkable) part of the door section.

Still present in game version #185872

The issue is only visual, causing no gameplay harming.

Sidenote: it seems the issue only occurs on east(right) side of the gates, not on the west(left) side.
