I created a creature, gave it a package to go through a door and it just stood there looking at it. I then made a copy of Bailey (RenaDog02), gave it the same package and it used the door just fine. I then replaced Baily's model with the one I was using, and again it managed to open the door in good order.
I notice that in the Fallout construction set, this a flag that can be set on a creature by creature basis. So is there an equivalent option in the Oblivion Construction Set?
