Caged Double Doors

relsan · January 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">are they supposed to do that?</div> Are the caged double doors supposed to get so out of sync that you have to crawl to get through them? I don't mind when aliens jam doors with fixtures because thats a tactic and its also beatable, but once those double doors get out of whack they aren't going back to the way they were again.

Do people prefer that they get all messed up like that? I've seen gorges use them to build a huge wall behind the door but other than that I'm not sure designing doors that way has much use. It definitely hinders the marines. And considering TSA built the station it doesn't make any sense to me.

you need only one ppl to fix the doors.
its no exploiting and no bug, its a good and for ballancing necessary map feature.

Well I'm asking everyone because I'm wondering if anyone finds them useful? Or do people see it as a bug?

You can fix them and break them at whim. Its usually a good tactic for aliens to breack them so that it slows down marines progress by a few seconds, hence giving you time to react to a stability monitering assault.

Oh ya? How do you fix them? Nobody on our server knew how.

*BUMP* So does anyone know how to fix the doors?

stand under the door that is closing, and let the other one open up all the way then hit the button again to close them both

Yes, you do the same like the aliens did. Stand under one door(when its open), near either end so you can use the button,hit teh button, wait for other door to go up/down(depends on if you are fixing/b0rking it) all the way, then use the button again when its up/down. Then walk away from the door, and voila! fixed/broken.

ah so it takes two people to fix it but one to break it since you cant stand under it and press the button at the same time.

btw nemesis this was a discussion about a map peculiarity and tactics revolving around that peculiarity so i don't understand why you moved it here were everyone is talking about map design.

becuase it gives us mappers a heads up! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> thnx for the info, The idea of double doors may be reconsiderd in my map!

i think manah would say "this is a planned mistake" althoug we know it was MENT to try and keep the kharaa out for longer lol

The doors don't just go out of synch for no reason, it's because somebody sits under the door, and waits for one to close, then presses the button again.

You don't need 2 people to do this, you can do it by yourself, if you just crawl to the end of the door frame you can reach the button.

I always put them out of synch on purpose, so when fades or onos are chasing me, it blocks them, and buys me time to run! It has actually proved very useful in the past.
