Why on earth can't I shut doors?

[YellowAlienBaby]

I mean, it perfectly possible to do it in MAXed, so why can't I shut doors in the game?

Seems a little silly to me.

Why on earth would you want to do that?

[YellowAlienBaby]

Dodge the man with the gun....

Play tricks on men with guns....

Open door, throw grenade, close door

etc....

OR, just because it blooming well should shut! I can shoot bottles, knock tiles off walls, flush toilets, my breath shows up in the cold etc.. etc.. all wonderfull attention to detail; but apparently hinges only work one way images/icons/frown.gif

(BTW, anyone know why a preview radiosity render crashes my machine when it never used to? no-one in the mod forum seems to know, and using full radiosity renders takes aaaaaggggeeeeesssss)

Max Payne is too damn cool to bother closing doors, man, I thought you would have realised that alien boy.

The thing that I really hate is these doors that mysteriously close by themself 2 or 3 seconds after you've opened them. Why does every game have to have this??

[Dan the Man]

Well in reality the doors would slow down towards reaching their widest point and then close again accelerating gradually due to the design of the hinges, but this is clearly a feature that is far beyond the capababilities of our present day technology, so expect to see it maybe when we are all very old.

A game will run faster if the engine doesn't have to render unnecessary areas.

THe thing that ive noticed wiv doors is, if u block teh door so the enemy cant open it and get the baseball bat out u can kill tehm through doors and u can also do this round corners where it came in useful for when u start with the bat only, at least they dont make that annoying noise doors tend to make in counter strike wehn they jam.
