I have successfully made it so you pick up the hammer and chipper separately and combined them, but what I want to happen now is you use it on a door with a rusty lock, this breaks the lock giving the door a bit of damage (not totally destroying it) and in turn unlocks the door.

I think im ok with the majority of the scripting, im just not sure how to make the hammer and chipper play the animation?

Please note that I've wrote this from scratch - meaning that some errors must be in there. Just try it out.

You are a legend, thank you

Question, where it says 'Hammer', 'Chipper' and 'HammerChipper', do I need to replace all these with the names of my items?

Yep.

For some reason it wont work, it just says I cant use the item here. Here is my inventory code just for reference:


And how I used your code:


^I removed the lock from it as I only have a Cellar door, not a gate with the lock prop.

Code:

//COMBINE HAMMER//
////////////////////

void hammer_chipper(string &in asItemA, string &in asItemB)
{
PlayGuiSound("15_make_hammer", 1.0f);
RemoveItem(asItemA); RemoveItem(asItemB);
GiveItem("stone_hammer_chipper", "Puzzle", "stone_hammer_chipper", "stone_hammer_chipper.tga", 0);

Code:

}

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

        PlaySoundAtEntity("", "break_wood_metal.snt", "Player", 0.0f, false); //Change LOCKBREAK.snt to the sound of a lock broken with the extension .snt.
        SetEntityActive("hammer_1", true); //Hammer.

    void TimerLoop(string &in asTimer)

        AddTimer("", 0.3f, "HammerChipperMove2");

It seems like you're using it on the wrong entity. You must used it with an entity under the name "RustyLock".

I named the door "RustyLock", I thought that would work ok?

The script that I gave you said that "hammer_chipper" was the item. Yet in the Inventory.hps, it clearly states that it's "stone_hammer_chipper". You have the incorrect name for the item.

Ah I see, schoolboy error on my part. Im very new to scripting, I used a tutorial to make that script and presumed 'hammer_chipper' was the final product.

Anyway now it works, and im sorry to be a pain but it doesnt play an animation, it simply breaks a hole in the door and unlocks it. Then once I had walked through the door my game started lagging immensely which led to me ctrl alt del to exit it. I noticed the hammer and chipper was still in my inventory too.

Im probably wrong but looking at the script again I would have thought all the stuff under 'DoorUnlockAnim' should go AFTER everything else? Because from what I can tell atm the game is breaking the door first with all the animation stuff afterwards.

But im only a n00b at scripting so am probably wrong?

Oh yeah, I forgot that you need an inactive Hammer and Chipper at the door. It should be in Entities/Item and have the name "stone_hammer_move" and "stone_chipper_move" without the quotation marks.
