Why on earth can't I shut doors?

YellowAlienBaby · 09-06-2001, 04:05 AM

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?

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 [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

(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??

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.
