Frictional Games Forum (read-only)

Hey I was really looking for some help on my script, I used a layout to make it so that a key works on a certain door I've seen tutorials and tried it using that layout but it didn't work i revised it and fixed some errors but it still doesn't work(in depth explanation at bottom)and I also tried typing it from scratch and looking at various videos and searching the forums I am still stuck here is my coding.

my maps.hps file

void OnEnter()
{
AddUseItemCallback("", "Key_1", "Main1", "UsedKeyOnDoor", true);
}


void UsedKeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked("Main1", false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "Main1", 0, false);
RemoveItem("Key_1");
}


void OnLeave()
{

}
--------------------------------
That's the coding I just started, with my key name is key_1 and its sub name is key1 and the door is called
Main1 what happens is that when I pick up the key it says "picked up" but it has no name and no description and it doesn't unlock the door and help would be great thanks.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////AddUseItemCallback("", "Awesomekey","AwesomeDoor", "KeyOnDoor", true);


void KeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked("AwesomeDoor", false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "AwesomeDoor", 0, false);
RemoveItem("Awesomekey");
}

this is my own usage of the keyscript, I've got no idea whats wrong with yours bro :O

I've always found the .LANG to be silly and not able to listen to you even though everything is correct. I checked the "AddUseItemCallback" And the last one is a bool. (True/false) for auto destroying the item when used. I guess that means it's removed after it's been used or breaks up like the crowbar does. So having another script to remove the key when you've put this to true could confuse the engine. Or it has nothing to do with it at all..I've not really tested locked doors myself yet. (Yeah I know stupid, huh ?)



And I believe you must have:
void OnStart()
{
}

I think..

Thanks for the replies guys and I did perform some edits based on the ideas you guys had but still no result when I pick up the key it just says "picked up" I'm going to create another locked door in another map with another key and see how that goes, I'll post my results any more suggestions I would love to hear them thanks again.

OnStart means something will happen when the player first enters the map
OnEnter mean something will happen when the player enters the map (so, everytime)

If this doesn't work, try to run the leveleditor as admin and edit it.
Also, make sure you save the lang and the script.

I've been busting my head open trying to get this to work but I still have no result I've tried to re-write the code in different ways I found but I still get no result I've tried it on a different map yet no change hm.....so I'm here to ask if anyone knows how to use a crowbar to open a door instead of a key if anyone wants to check out my map and the coding and see if they can give it a shot that would be beyond awesome thanks again please reply soon.

You need to name the key in the level editor as Key_1 and you also have to add a CustomSubItemTypeName in the Entity options of the key. You need that so the .lang file will pick it up and it will have a name and description ingame. In this case it should be Key_1 aswell.

Hey guys its been a while and just so you know I've become an incredible good script-er in my opinion of course and I am 2 months into a custom story, thanks for all your help guys if you guys are interested in my story please post replies or if you need help with scripting I have become really good.(My Dream)

I saw your problem and I know how to help!

Go the LANG. file and write this: (Just replace "key" with your key name and name and desc!)
