Some beginner help, door - grenadecx - 09-19-2010
Hey.
I made a basic map and I wanted to have a locked door and a key to open it with. So I have a door entity called "door_1" and a key entity called "key_1". And from what information I could gather, I need to create a "mapname.hps" file, where I add the script that makes this possible.
Since I'm not familiar with this kinda of scripting, I read a few threads and I came up with this:
mapname.hps
Code:
void UseKey(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity){
// Set the entity(desk or door) to unlocked
SetSwingDoorLocked(asEntity, false, true);
// Remove the item used from the inventory
RemoveItem(asItem);
}
void OnStart(){
//Add the Lantern and 10 Tinderboxes when in Debug mode, always good to have light!
if(ScriptDebugOn()){
GiveItemFromFile("lantern", "lantern.ent");
for(int i=0;i<10;i++) GiveItemFromFile("tinderbox_"+i, "tinderbox.ent");
}
AddUseItemCallback("useexit", "key_1", "door_1", "UseKey",true);
}So when I use the key on the door, the key get removed, but the door does not get unlocked. Some help would be appreciated!

I would help you, except that I can't get the editor working... :\ Help me please.

I tried your script and it works for me.
Are you sure you called the door "door_1" in the editor?
Entity names are case sensitive.

I have checked tons of times, my entities are called that. Perhaps I should mention that I use a level door, but that should work the same, should it not?

I wasn't expecting to release my videos before I had made a few more.
But I'll make an exception

Yes you should, that actually is the problem.
The level door isn't a swing door. =/
You have to use
Code:
SetLevelDoorLocked(door_1, false);Code:
SetLevelDoorLocked(asEntity, false);RE: Some beginner help, door - grenadecx - 09-20-2010
Oh, how dumb someone can be
Thanks, all of you!

you asked for feedback after the tutorial.
You explain quite well and it's sounds easy to do -if a bit hard to follow at first.
I have not tried that yet but it looks fairly straightforward, it shows how to do it - but a bit hurried. so I'll be re-winding and pausing a lot.
it'll really help if you keep reminding us, when using the keyboard, what keys are being used to help navigation and shortcuts.
Am looking forward to more.
