okay, I know about playertake and player drop through the right mouse mutton, and about anywithinzone, but...

How would one set up so that if I pick up say, the bust of some statue, and place it in a zone (like on some pedestal) the door opens?

what I mean to say is... if I do like...


:state=0:dimvar=bustonstatue ,setvar=bustonstatue 0,state=1
:state=1,varequal=bustonstatue = 1:activateifused=1,destroy

and then how would i get it so that placing THAT particular entity (labeled 'bust') in the zone, would open the door?

I would aos make it so that it wouldn't have to be a precise balancing act, taking the two pieces, bust, and pedestal, destroying them, and spawning a bust on a pedestal for added coolness...

I've tried various methods, and I'm not looking for someone to do this for me, just a point in the right direction, or a link to a script where this has already been implemented.

My sig is too cool to display.

If you're using V1.17 or any mod with AirMod implemented (Though, not sure if v1.17 has this command implemented yet) I believe there is a "setusekey" command (or something along those lines).

You can use that command to set the zone's "UseKey" entity, to tell the name of the entity that should act as it's key. After you have that set, you can use "anykeywithinzone=1" to determine if that key is within the zone.

Hope that makes sense and you can get it working.

NOTE: If you can't find the command for setting the "UseKey" property, you can always make a custom zone and give it a specific UseKey value in it's FPE file.

Lee always meant to put this in to FPSC (he has a TODO in the source), but he never did. I actually tried to do it, but I'm having problems in-game with some of my other code, but thats beside the point. There is a workaround for this. Set the bust as the target using settargetname=x, then checking if it is nearby with reachtarget. I don't think you can use aitargetdistwithin for this since the zone is not part of the darkai system, but I will have to check that.

I'd change the world, but I don't have the source code

hmmm, I could try to do that, but then wouldn't that make the item (being the bust) actually disappear as a key for inventory?
(which I could still do a workaround for, showing a hud if playerhaskey or something, sort of like the oldschool Doom II Keys thing...

I just really liked the idea of picking up that item, having it hover in mid air in front of me, and then as I placed it down on the pedastal, that door creeps open, and


...out pours the bullet-sponges...


Thanks a lot for your help, I'll figure it out, but would be really cool if when someone makes a 1.17 community guide, they include a script to do this, cause I guarantee, it'd be a big addition for those Resident Evil style puzzles...

Well, since I was able to do what he's asking without a Mod, back in v1.07 I don't see the need for any of these new things. I've already described the method and I know for certain that it works.

Add a remote door.

Add a pedestal entity. In the main script, add the condition anywithin=10 and an action activateifused=1. In the ifused paramter of the pedestal, enter the name of the remote door.

Add a statue. Ensure it's dynamic.

Picking up the statue and moving it within 10 units of the pedestal will open the door.

By trial and error, in reducing the 10 to say 1, you might be able to open the door if the statue drops onto the pedestal.

The downside of all this is that moving ANY entity onto the pedestal will open the door. I am sure there is a way round this. Will let you know.

Tzap, I think I figured it out...

if the specific object entity is picked up, I createvar=1, setvar=1
if the object is dropped I place a delay of say 6000, and then setvar 1= 0

on the pedestal, I do the whole anywithinzone, but also do it as same state, if the variable 1 is 1 THEN go to that next state, otherwise do not...

each entity that I would want to move would have a different variable for moving... If anyone wants to turn this into a plug-and-play scrpit with a lot less redundancy, feel free to let me know.

well, if you could link me back to your post about specific entities... I'd definitely be interested in re-reading it. The only post I saw of yours talked about ANY entity being within a zone...

I don't want any entity, I want a specific entity being within a specific zone to trigger...

Please, if you could, link me because I'm having trouble finding this specific thread.

Actually not to double post, but as I'm a new member, I can't edit....

I DO see your Ply KeyWithinZone script, interesting stuff... I'll test it to see how it works and let you know.

@Plystire:

anykeywithinzone=1 ? never heard of it or seen it .
I looked at the AirMod Manual , The addendum , FPIEditPad and PB , Fenix mod manuals but couldn't find it , Is it intergrated with AirMod , v1.17 or what ?

Best wishes , Cheers

Well, its in the source, and it looks like it works, I guess its just another one of those commands that just got lost in the mix.
