Buildings, doors, etc.

Are you only able to enter buildings that have open doors? If not, how are you able to enter them?

On a side note, I read the same tip everywhere...close the door behind. When I do this, I still get hammered by zombies as they clip through the door. What is the point of closing the door? And is the zombie AI set to automatically recognize you are in a building? It seems like they have x-ray vision for buildings...

You can only enter certain buildings - generally ones where you can see into the windows. Zombies as it stands until 1.7.2 are broken and have 100% sound through walls and will hear you very easily if you crouch run or run through the building. I advise holding left shift to walk when you enter a building to reduce the distance that they will hear you.

They're also quite buggy right now in regards to attacking you through the walls/running through or under the floor/clipping through the doorway. Unfortunately this is a side effect of it being an Alpha test. :)

This is more in league with the next patch(walls and doors muffle sounds)

But normally the doors are closed to slow down players... if you are being chased by zombies, dont bother.

Beat me to it in more detail :D

Thanks guys. Thanks for the map, Morgan. I was hoping to not use that thing & try to immerse myself into the feeling of solitude but I guess it doesn't matter if I can't move more than a mile without getting clipped...
