i was on www.fpsfree.com and found a lovely bit of code for using an access code for switches. only problem is, it doesnt want to open doors. they make the noise then close again, which is really annoying, then the switch doesnt work any more. if anyone could help i'd really like it. here's the code i have so far

+ Code Snippet

;Header

desc          = Switch Activate (enter pass code)

;Triggers

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

:state=10,plrdistwithin=50,scancodekeypressed=79:state=11,sound=audiobank\switches\press.wav
:state=11,plrdistwithin=50,scancodekeypressed=80:state=12,sound=audiobank\switches\press.wav
:state=12,plrdistwithin=50,scancodekeypressed=81:state=13,sound=audiobank\switches\press.wav
:state=13,plrdistwithin=50,scancodekeypressed=75:state=14,sound=audiobank\switches\press.wav
:state=14,plrdistwithin=50,scancodekeypressed=28:state=15,sound=audiobank\switched\press.wav

:state=15:state=1,plrsound=$0,activateifused=1,alttexture=1
:state=1,plrusingaction=0:state=2
:state=2,plrdistwithin=50,plrusingaction=1:state=3,plrsound=$1,activateifused=0,alttexture=0
:state=3,plrusingaction=0:state=10

;End of Script

like my mother always said. if at first you dont succeed, try a bigger thermonuclear reaction

28 is the keycode for [ENTER] which is the key that closes the door once you have opened it using the code. The script is doing exactly what you have told it to do.

For some reason you have altered my original script and added the :state=14 line to make the door close again. Remove your code and the script will work.

NOTE: Always read the instructions included in the code and Welcome to the Forums.

Best.

I'm sorry, my answers are limited. You must ask the right question.

yeh, that was because i wanted the person to have to press enter to confirm the code, didnt realise it would affect it in that way. do you know if there's any way so that if they enter the wrong number they have to start again?

the only way I could think of to make that happen is to script all possible entries the player could make. This could be rather time consuming but the idea is simple.

if the correct access code was 1 4 6 9

then you would check each entry.

entry #1:
user enters 0 or 2-9 goto state w
user enters 1 goto state r

"state r" being the correct entry for the first entry
"state w" being the wrong entry for the first entry

so the script would look something like this:

+ Code Snippet

;mind you the "0","1" would be the actual vales of scan key code.I don't remember what those actual values are off the top of my head

:state=0,plrdistwithin=50,scancodekeypressed="0":state=11
:state=0,plrdistwithin=50,scancodekeypressed="1":state=2
:state=0,plrdistwithin=50,scancodekeypressed="2":state=11
:state=0,plrdistwithin=50,scancodekeypressed="3":state=11
:state=0,plrdistwithin=50,scancodekeypressed="4":state=11
:state=0,plrdistwithin=50,scancodekeypressed="5":state=11

;follow that out for the rest of the first entries and then

:state=2:runfpi="correctfirstenrty.fpi,state=0
:state=11:runfpi="wrongfirstentry.fpi",state=0

;then you would recreate this scode for each entry  and if the proper ones were shosen the whole way through, then the final code would run the door open script.

Now there may be other ways of doing this, but this is the way I found to do it. Haven't take the time to completely script this yet. But theoretically this should work
