Hi I would like to know what's wrong with this. The door isn't locked and the key shows up without name and description. Please help.

// This runs when the map first starts
void OnStart()
{

AddUseItemCallback("", "firstdoorkey1", "firstdoor", "UsedKeyOnDoor", true);

}

void UsedKeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)

{

SetSwingDoorLocked("firstdoor", false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "firstdoor", 0, false);
RemoveItem("firstdoorkey1");

}

Have you named the entities in the entity tabs so the script can know what its supposed to lock/show?

For example the key is named in the second entity tab under the CustomSubItemTypeName. And the door in the first entity tab.

Yes, the key is named Key1 in the "CustomSubItemTypeName" in the entity tab.

Thanks alot man, but it still won't work.

Name the key firstdoorkey on both the name and the customsubitemtypename

I made some changes to the scripts:

I have the same name in the customsubitemtypename... When i pick up the key it just says: "Picked up", the door is still unlocked, and the notes is blank. I'm thinking it might be something else, not the scripts.

Item names and descriptions.

The door will forever be unlocked until you first lock it somewhere else (either through the script or level editor).

Yes, i locked it, and the key has a name in the game. But i can't unlock the door. Do i have to do something more with the door in level editor than just changing the name?

I have no idea what kind of door you're trying to unlock, but if you're trying to unlock level doors with swing door functions, then it's not going to work. Also, if the script you're using is the one you posted recently, then the engine should have complained that Door1 and Key1 were not properly declared. In other words, you tried to use non-existing variables in place of existing variables or values.
