Agreed but the thing is that before I added the doors, they used the turbo lifts all the time. After adding the doors, they no longer use them.

When I was troubleshooting the issue, here's what I did. I created a new map. Created a floor. Created a divider wall to separate the map into two sections.

Section 1:
Created closet sized room (3 walls), and added a interactor for a sliding door. I put a path node in front of the sliding door but not too close. Inside the room, I put teleport 1. I added another path node nearby and put a Player start.

Section 2:
Created a player start and teleport 2.

---Results----
With me in section 2 and bot in section 1, Bot would run up and open the door but it would never enter the portal. It would only travel between the path nodes as well as open the door. If I removed the sliding door, bot would enter the teleport EVERY time. But with the door in place, bot would open the door and then turn around. It wouldn't enter the portal. However, if I put a goody behind the portal, it would try and get the goody every time and end up going through the portal.

Even though the bot had to go through the teleport to get to me, it wouldn't. At least it wouldn't if there was a door.

Something else of interest is...

AI's use all my sliding doors without the need for door markers. Even the turbo lifts. If I put a weapon inside the turbo lift instead of the teleport, bot opens doors enters, grabs weapon and exits. However, if I replace weapon with teleport, bot opens door and just stands there as if it doesn't know what to do with the teleport. However, if I remove the door, the bot uses the teleport.

Putting a sliding door between a path node and a weapon doesn't confuse bots.
-But-
Putting a sliding door between a path node and a teleport confuses bots.

There's got to be something about a teleport pickup that's different from all other types of pickups.

I found a tutorial on 3d buzz where they set up a door for ai bots too with a teleport in the room. It looked like the only time a bot actually went through the teleport was by accident. It like jumped through so I think it was shot and accidentally went through, or the bot was trying to dodge backwards and ended up going through but I don't think it was purposeful.

Anyway, enough wasted time on this lol, time to move on.

I just wasn't thinking from the right perspective.

Conclusion, if you have a door between teleport and path node, you must add another path node between the door and teleport.

Edit: I actually tried adding a path node between the door and the teleport before but I never forced a path between the two path nodes.

I can right click on the upper tabs and select move to new window but I can't seem to find where to set it up to do that automatically in the preferences. I have cs5 extended.
