Can't open doors? Makes fuel depot map unplayable

(1/1)

merlinme:
Hi everyone, I've only recently discovered this game. I was a huge fan of the originals and I'm very impressed by what's been achieved by you guys in getting a playable modern version.

I'm struggling to open doors though. I've searched the forum and I can't find anything on this. In particular on the fuel depot map there seems to be a gate leading into the building, with a car park barrier in front of it. I've got my troops standing in front of the gate and I press backspace, but nothing happens. Am I missing something? There doesn't seem to be another way into the building, so unless I can open the gate the map is unplayable. Is there another way to open the gate, e.g. from the console?

A couple of other things I've noticed people talking about which I haven't managed to find yet:

1) I read something about being able to target the head using a sniper rifle. How do you do this?
2) People talk about flash-bangs and smoke grenades. I only seem to have frag grenades. Do I have to research something to get these extra grenade types?

Thanks,

merlin

on that map you should find a (hidden) bomb and blow up the gate

No you can't aim to body parts.

Flashbang and smoke grenades got disabled because they don't yet work (smoke doesn't change the visibility for example).

opening/closing doors is bound to the key backspace

i looks more or less like we really have to push the mission briefing with a higher priority ;)

LuckyLindy:
Bomb does work.  I can't get the trigger menu to come up.  When I place it the first time, the actor died and the game ended with "defeat."  I retried and remove the actor after placing it, blew up the gate and the battle ended in "defeat."  Since I have updated to the latest 2.4 development build, however i lost my progress (going to 2.3 to 2.4).
