I've been fiddling around with door scripts, and I can make a door lock behind you, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to accept a key. In the game I'm working on, the player needs to backtrack, but must find a key to open a door that he's already been through and locked, if that makes sense.

If someone would help me out, I would be much obliged.

Thanks.

...I know for a fact that a very similar series of door scripts was highlighted and posted in a thread, some time ago.

I do not have FPSC, or media installed on this computer. If nobody beats me to it, I'll see if I can locate the script that does what you seek, and post it here...

Here are some tips to achieve this:

- Create the door to open and close behind you.
- When the door is triggered to close (Meaning the player walked through it), have it enter a new section of the script
- In the new section of the script, have it act JUST like the script for a door that needs a key.
- Make sure you give the door entity the proper "UseKey" property

Good luck!

I would like to give you the script, but people need to try things for themselves first. I can help, but give us something to work with.

I've got this, which closes the door behind you, but I'm not entirely sure how to modify it to get the door to lock.

+ Code Snippet


;Artificial Intelligence Script

;Header

desc          = Door closes behind you, can't get it to lock
;Triggers

:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=90,hudimagefine=gamecore\text\pressentertouse.tga,hudname=usedoorprompt,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=10
:state=10,plrdistwithin=60:hudshow=usedoorprompt,hudfadeout=usedoorprompt

:state=10,plrdistwithin=60,plrusingaction=1:state=1,setframe=0,sound=$0
:state=1:incframe=0
:state=1,frameatend=0:state=2,coloff
:state=2,plrdistfurther=60:state=3,sound=$1,colon
:state=3:decframe=0
:state=3,frameatstart=0:state=10,setframe=0

Add a state so that plrhaskey=1, or something like that controls the door to open again.

Hmmm, I would suggest making it so that the door closes from a triggerzone and not when the player moves away from the door.

Because, what if the player openned the door and then backed away from it, NOT going through it? They'd be stuck and have to start all over.

That would be much better, Ply. Good thiking. Just give the zone the plrinzoneactivateifused.fpi file and set its IFUSED to the name of the door. Then, add the code activated=1 to the line where the door closes, so that way, It will nt close unless the player is within the zone. Good work.

I'm not specifically good with scripts but
I've got it to pretty much close,
but the door kind of appears open
but you can't walk through it.
and the key doesn't work to
get back in either... maybe i should
learn scripting first. lol

Offset a little to the left. Or was it the right?

Ok, now I have another problem.

Not only can I not get the door to lock behind you, but I can't open it from the inside because the trigger zone is there.

Here is the modified script.

+ Code Snippet


;Artificial Intelligence Script

;Header

desc          = Closes Door behind you, still can't get it to lock, and it won't open again because of the trigger zone.

;Triggers

:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=90,hudimagefine=gamecore\text\pressentertouse.tga,hudname=usedoorprompt,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=10
:state=10,plrdistwithin=60:hudshow=usedoorprompt,hudfadeout=usedoorprompt

:state=10,plrdistwithin=60,plrusingaction=1:state=1,setframe=0,sound=$0
:state=1:incframe=0
:state=1,frameatend=0:state=2,coloff
:state=2,activated=1:state=3,sound=$1,colon
:state=3:decframe=0
:state=3,frameatstart=0:state=10,setframe=0

;End of Script

HEY!!! i think i'm better than i thought.
I DID IT!!!
I edited fooblys code and came up with this.

+ Code Snippet

;Artificial Intelligence Script

;Header

desc          = Door closes and locks behind you, Edited by xXThe Dead OneXx
;Triggers

:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=90,hudimagefine=gamecore\text\pressentertouse.tga,hudname=usedoorprompt,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=10
:state=10,plrdistwithin=60:hudshow=usedoorprompt,hudfadeout=usedoorprompt

:state=10,plrdistwithin=60,plrusingaction=1:state=1,setframe=0,sound=$0
:state=1:incframe=0
:state=1,frameatend=0:state=2,coloff
:state=2,plrdistfurther=60:state=3,sound=$1,colon
:state=3:decframe=0
:state=3,plrdistwithin=60,plrhaskey=1,plrusingaction=1:state=1,setframe=0,sound=$0
:state=4:decframe=0
:state=4,frameatstart=0:state=10,setframe=0

;End of Script

all you do is place the trigger after you walk in
and the key in whatever room you want after the point.
obviously you have to type the name of the door in the trigger
and key and type the key in the door as well... IT WORKS!!!

Something like this is your best bet. The player can open it and cose it as much as they want, but as soon as the player enters the zone, the door needs the key.

Yours worked better than Hybrid's, actually.

Yours included the door closing behind you.

That said, Hybrid's code could be easily modified to include a closing door, so good job to the both of you.

TDO, your script works, indeed.

A couple things to clean it up, tho:
- State 4 is not used and so... shouldn't even be in the script.
- In state 3, you never STOP decreasing the frames of animation for shutting the door. This causes unnecessary processing on the engine's part.

thanks, my main problem was trying to get
the "door is locked need key" HUD
to appear after the door closes.
i couldn't figure it out so i just
left it as is. I'm glad it works.
