I dunno how to get a key to open a door. How do I do this.

Fun with scripting! Assuming you have a basic understanding of how to write scripts, it will need to look like this:


void OnStart()
{
AddUseItemCallback("", "NAMEOFKEY", "NAMEOFDOOR", "NAMEOFFUNCTION", true);
}

void NAMEOFFUNCTION(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked("NAMEOFDOOR", false, true);
RemoveItem("NAMEOFKEY");
}

If you already have an OnStart function in your script, add the "AddUseItemCallback" to it.
NAMEOFKEY - Replace with the name of your key

NAMEOFDOOR - Replace with the name of your door

NAMEOFFUNCTION - Can be named anything you'd like

It keeps saying Item cannot be used this way.

This is what I have:


void OnStart()
{
AddUseItemCallback("", "key1", "door1", "OpenS", true);
}

void OpenS(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked("door1", false, true);
RemoveItem("key1");
}

See anything wrong?

Keyname: key1
Doorname: door1

Have you checked the file name of the HPS file to see if it matches the file name of the MAP file?

Ofcourse i have, i have checked everything.

Heck, desperately i've even copied the script from another custom story to see if it works, still no.

Did you make an hps file by renaming a text file .hps? I'm pretty sure that doesn't work; you need an hps file template to work with.

How do I get a hps file template?

I've got that alredy! It's the same problem with the closet, Cannot use item this way. Dammit this is slowing down my development every day
