Ok so I've been working on a custom story and looked at many tutorials.....on how to make a key that works. I got teh key but it doesn't unlock the door.


I will just post the extra_english.lang file and the script file and other info to easily find help.


The name of my key: Key_1
The name of my door: Door_1

Here is my script file: (Located in maps under my custom story file (The map itself called "Hotel"))

/////////////////////////////////////////
/////////// Run when entering map

void onEnter()

{
AddUseItemCallback("", "Key_1", "Door_1", "UsedKeyOnDoor", true);
}
void UsedKeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked("Door_1", false, true);
RemoveItem("Key_1");
}


Theextra_english.lang file is located in my custom story file (Hotel) itself and no subfolders after that.

Yes my script title is "Hotel.hps"

It is titled correctly, along with CustomSubItem under key.

Key_1 for name and sub name ??? Make maybe different sub name then tell me did it work

It does look correct. I suggest you make sure ALL names are correct, and that the .map file has the same name as the .hps one. If it still won't work, send me a PM and I'll let you send your custom story to me so I can find the problem.

yeah, I made the subname different and it still doesn't work. I have the .lang name the same as the . I copied everything from a tutorial (Even another) and doesn't work. I might PM someone later. I'm probably going to start building my map a little more. Unless someone can help me now.

OnEnter needs to be capital. You have a lower case O in the beginning, therefore it's not recognized or executed.

You probably want to make it into OnStart instead though.

After many many tweek after tweek I finally got it to work. Thanks for the help guys.
