Impresses marines too, or wakes them up... most marines dont expect a door to go unless there's a skulk on the other side <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
If you are having trouble getting it to work anywhere, try ns_bast. You can rotate the huge STBD airlock by clicking on it. Actually, bast has a TON of doors and lifts you can play with.
Thier is also a pickup weapon i hear but have never done it nor seen it done.
Pressing and holding your use key should have the same effect as typing '+use' in console.
might have sometihng to do with the fact that you have to use doors to open them?

Also, this is actually a bug (have a look at the 2.0 changelog). Commanders aren't meant to be able to use their use key, as it (apparently) means they can build structures.
I'd love to see door-opening by the commander be used more. Things like opening doors with OCs on the other side so that the marines can shoot the chambers at range instead of having to open the door themselves and get hit. Or bringing slow lifts up to meet the marines so they don't have to waste time waiting for them (quadlift comes to mind).
To open a door with a button or switch, the door has to have a name, the mapper gives it one. Then the button that "targets" the door knows which door to open by its name. These doors CANNOT be opend by the commander.
A door that opens by hitting your "use" key or just by getting close to it dosnt need a name, since no button or anything else will "target" that door. These doors CAN be opend by a commander.
Hence, a door that needs a button or switch to activate it cannot be opend by the commander. Doors that open with just the "use" key or by being near it can be opened by the commander.
And also, in tanith in the reseach labs room by waste handling there is a green thing you can push that shoots out electricity. My friends went aliens and sat by it unharmed but i though it was cool. anyone know if there anyuses for this??
So for example in ns_bast, below the elevator from marine base there is some doors. When you open them you can see lots of the door outside the visible area for normal players. Clicking on that part of the door will do nothing. You have to click on the tiny part of the door that is visible as a normal player.
As far as I can tell if there is a trigger_relay or multimanager between a func_button and a func_door then the commander hacks don't work. i.e. ns_caged doors left from marine start, and ns_bast elevator in marine start.
and also check in ns_bast,try shooting those pipe-thingys in STeam Generatiopn,they pretty much explode,but they dont harm you
and some doors....well....lets say they dont open to comms but most do <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Try left-clicking once or twice,or a lot....depends on your PC.
I started to think that some maps were bugged or had ghosts in them. Doors opening before I got to them and nothing on the other side, Lifts moving, things being built when no one is around! Call Ghost Busters! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Read this topic, same question. I outlined what can and can't be done for doors/switches. Actually... I'll just repost it here.
<!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Easiest way is to double click.
This is what I've got to work so far:
Map: Bast, the wide door below the lift at marine spawn is easy. I've yet to get the lift to work. The rotating door works. The lift that runs parallel to tram tunnel works, the door to engine hive works, the lift between water treatment and main aft works. The little hatch door next to the res node that aliens start with in refinery will open, but I can't get it to close (can't remember if I have succeeded or not).
Tanith: the lift between chem transport and acidic solution works. The doors to cargo can also be opened by double clicking.
Hera: After welding, you can open/close the security doors near reception. Cargo lift works. Unsure on the doors around cargo, but I believe they work.
Nancy: I have yet to get ANY door to open on nancy, regardless of switch or just the need to be "used" to open
Nothing: quadlift, the lift next to it, and the lift in generator all can be raised/lowered by the comm. Also, I believe the 2 doors near powersilo can be opened/ closed as well as the door near generator.
Eclipse: Nothing can be opened or closed.
Caged: Shipping tunnel door can be opened/closed. Good to test if gorge has blocked it. I believe the door airlock style doors can be opened, but I'm not 100%. I usually don't use it when commanding. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
