Doors stay open when garrisoned troops too close

[frapell]

Doors automatically open when troops approach at a certain distance. If "inside" this distance, there's a tower, and you have troops garrisoned, then door will stay open.

Try Acropolis 7 map, and garrison troops inside the towers next to the door.

I cannot reproduce this. I don't even have gates on Acropolis 7?

Update SVN if you don't have gates on Acropolis 7 zoot.

I could reproduce this once, but not in subsequent tries, so it seems like it's something very specific.

I noticed the problem when playing at that specific map and having some units garrisoned on the towers next to the door... after both comments, i tried to reproduce it again on another map, "Acropolis 1", and i couldn't, so maybe is something specific on how the towers and the doors were created from the map editor ?

I can reproduce this consistently now:

1. Select a GROUP (i.e. formation) of soldiers.
2. Position them inside a gate's opening radius, such that the gate opens.
3. Order them to garrison in one of the towers immediately adjacent to the gate, such that their path towards the tower entrance at no time departs from the gate's opening radius; that is, the gate must remain open at all times while they are garrisoning.

What happens: The gate remains open even after all the selected soldiers has garrisoned in the tower.

What should happen: The gate should close, just as it does if you garrison the units one by one or from an angle that doesn't cause the gate to open.

(See the savegame below for this error happening on Acropolis 7.)
