    Fix the fkn enemy spawn door issue.

    enemies spawn in a room we can't go in, no big deal, but for the love of fkn christ can you not just program it so that the spawn point doors STAY OPEN INDEFINITELY????? It's just awesome to get half way through a mission only to have someone stuck behind a closed door that you can't get to with grenades, flame turret, flaming foam or any of the other ways that we had to learn how to play your broken fkn game.
    It's such a simple solution to the problem and yet it's just ongoing month after month after month....

    Yep, this happens way too often. At the very least, if an enemy is trapped in a closed space and not taking any fire, let him time out after 5 minutes so you don't have to dump the mission. Kind of ugly when this happens near the end of a long grinding legendary...

    This issue is worse than ever, even in the DZ enemies are getting stuck at spawn locations. I doubt it will ever get fixed as this has been going on since the launch of TD1 even.

    I am honestly more curious about the spaghetti code that causes it to happen.
    I wonder if they use a Hard point spawn location mechanism instead of using a zoning mechanism.

    A zoning mechanism the issue would be extremely easy to solve - as long as an enemy is in the zone having a condition to keep the door open or force hem out.
    But if they used a Fixed coordinate spawn - then you have to use spaghetti code to open the door and close it after a period of time.

    This also means switching to a zoning mechanism would require remapping hundreds of spawn locations which would take a significant amount of time.

    I don't speak whatever that was lol, coding I know. But leaving the door open but un interactive seems like the simplest solution.
    Doors closed until ANY enemy needs to open it. They do so. DOOR STAYS THE FK OPEN. You are not allowed in, but skills and grenades all can enter. No spawn point beyond such a door should ever be beyond the reach of either of those.

    Oh and before any UBI moron comes in here to post the only response they know of..."we're aware and working it", save yourself the effort. Fix it AND THEN RESPOND.

    haha
    It's all nothing! In a mission to save a civilian, I opened the door of a tin barrack, while the rescued civilian "dropped" the prize, i.e. hunting. when I entered the barrack for the prize, the barrack door closed and I was imprisoned. I must teleport to save place.
    Self-closing doors are a trap not only for opponents
