| Do AI soldiers in renegade open doors? [message #483197] |

Can anyone confirm if there are instances in renegade (in single player, in skirmish or otherwise) where AI solders will actually open doors? And by this I mean the AI specifically walking up to the door and it opening and the AI walking through.
And can anyone point me at a specific point (e.g. a specific point in a specific mission) where I should be able to witness this happening?

I think the mission in the mansion has some doors that infantry can open, but I'm not certain without loading it up and having a look... probably worth trying with stock scripts too just to see if there is a difference.
EDIT: Also, in the ship mission they come through the doors at the top of the catwalks when you return to the submarine, a few of them keep respawning outside the room and rushing in as I recall. I think some enemies also rush the torpedo room after you disarm them all...

Thanks, that's exactly the info I needed. Now I have a reproducible test case for testing which scripts change actually caused AI solders to be unable to open doors (my bet is that its something in the pathfind code)

Regarding AI soldiers opening locked doors, this is because the scripting for the missions (e.g. the M04_Doorway_Enterer_JDG script used for the catwalk entry officer guy mentioned by Ethenal) specifically grant the relavent keys to the soldier in question.
In any case I have now successfully verified that with a scripts build numbered 6225, the nod officer on the boat level does open the door when you walk through the catwalk zone but with a scripts build numbered 6331, the nod officer doesn't open the door.
I now need to figure out which of the changes made between the codebase that works and the codebase that fails actually broke things.

I found the problem (it was in PathActionClass for those who care) and now the officer does correctly pop out of the yellow door in the ship mission.

For locked doors, it depends on whether the AI soldier in question has the correct keys. In the case of the nod officer in M04 (the ship level) the code calls Commands->Grant_Key to grant the keys to the officer in question.

Several black hand walk through the yellow doors throughout M04 both on the submarine level and below it. I've used them to get through the door without the keycard. Ended up bugging up the objectives in the process. I've also been attacked by a soldier that went through the locked door next to the prisoners. I haven't been able to repeat that one though. And of course the Officer as mentioned above.
