I am using a "damaged" message attached to a surface to make a pedestrian (non-enemy) walk to frame 1. Simple enough. But he has to get through three doors that are closed to get there. What's the most efficient way of doing this, other than just having all the doors open as soon as the message is sent?

Thanks.

For AI to open a door, you have to add that 'instinct' to it's AI file. Its easy, because that instinct has no args. Just crack your ped's AI open in notepad, and add the 'Opendoors' instinct.

 

Bingo, problem solved.

He still isn't opening the doors....



The doors are handled by the standard 00_door.cog.

If the player opens the door for him, he walks through and continues on to frame 1.

Another option is to modify the door cog to allow the 'touched' message to activate the door. Just add the message above the 'activated' message. You will also need to change the mask for the door 'thing', to allow your actor to touch it.
