It appears to me that if a door is set with a parent activate only flag - as in open/closed by a switch, prevents the use of the SetOpenState command from executing on the door from a script. Can anyone else confirm this?

I think I had some trouble with this in my mod, where I have those doors opened by the switches in the Commercial labs. Instead of using SetOpenState, just activate the switch that opens the door, that should work fine inplace of the setopenstate.

That's what I just finished doing. I just thought it strange that the setopenstate would not work under those circumstances, but I guess it doesn't.

The 'parent activate only flag' overrides the normal activation.

Its just like if you put a script on a door and it has an 'OnActivate' block in it. If you do not code the 'activate' command in the script, you cannot open the door.
