Title basically says it all.

I have func_door_rotating (made up from brushes) around my map and they work fine for the player, but none of the enemies are able to open them. They just stand with their arms clipping through the doors and wait for me to open them. I have nodes around too and they're fine with movement until they hit a closed door.

I think there is a flag that is called "Monsters can use", i apologize if i sound patronizing, i do not mean to. Besides it may be different in the new Hammer, if it is, then ive no clue.

I believe the flag is 'npc cant use' but I'll double check that.

thanks for the reply anyhow

If there is a cunning way, chances are it's with an ai_ entity :/ Though you can use scripted_sequences to do it too, as with HL1...

I have a map where I want a cop to kick open a door with the "adoorkick" animation, but when the animation starts the cop just clips through, ignoring the door. I made the door with a func_door_rotating.

Know anything I should?

perhaps you never told the door to do anything the moment he kicks it. u could use a phys_explosion or something like that. If its a rotating door, try setting up another entity like trigger_relay (logic_relay, one of the two)

lx_mcc, I believe there was something like this before involving hostages, but it may apply.

Try compiling it without the doors.

Then put the doors back in.

For the other one it was CS:S so it would create some .nav thing, but it's worth a shot. [addsig]

Hmm... ok I know this topic has been dead for a while, but I've been trying to use bots on my map as well for testing purposes. Again, I've got doors and neither the hosties nor the bots can open them. I made sure there was nav mesh on both sides and went to each door and connected the nav mesh so they could walk through. If I open the doors for them, both the bots and hosties run through just fine, but if the door is closed..they run up and stand there. What I was trying to do is to put a trigger_multiple on both sides of the door with only the "NPC can use" box checked. Then for output I said OnStartTouch to trigger the door to open. Well it sounds good in theory but it didn't work... any new ideas?
