I'm Stuck!

I am having a problem on the very first map at the bunker right before you go into the area that looks like the old basketball court.

I've killed the guy and looted him but every time I try to open the door to go through it says it's blocked!

How do I get around this? Am I forgetting to do something or have I done something wrong already?

Please help!

Move your team mates out of the way and then try opening the door. If it still says it's blocked try repositioning your character to the right of the doorway.

Some of the larger opponents do. (Not saying which one to avoid spoilers.)

However, someone standing in the door's path other than the character opening it will block a door. The character opening it is considered ethereal to the door, so it can move through him/her/it.

OTB

ah, i get it.

whenever i think of doors opening in FOT i think of this one custom map (forgot the name/maker) where a bunch of hostages try to leave this room but every one of them opens the door at once and they kept slamming it on eachother's faces. took 5 minutes for the to get it open.

Heh, that sounds like my Deathclaw Desert Ch1, although I'm pretty sure I playtested that event thoroughly to make sure they don't do that...

...wait a sec... I'm pretty sure I used a trigger to open the door (and stay open) so the hosties don't need to open it themselves.

WASN'T ME!!!

EDIT: Only entities can block doors. Tiles cannot. However, I've noticed that some "rug" tiles can make the door not open (don't get a "blocked" message though) if the opener is standing on the rug. Only sometimes, though, and it's easily remedied :D
