Door Open/Close Depending on Situation - Armored Cow - 09-18-2010
When the player steps into a trigger area, I want the door that they just walked through to slam shut (if they left it open) or creak open slowly (if they closed it). I can get the door to slam shut if it's open but am not really sure how to do it this way instead.
Any help would be appreciated.
RE: Door Open/Close Depending on Situation - Liag - 09-18-2010
You just need to use GetSwingDoorClosed() to check if the door is open or closed, and as for creaking it open slowly, check 00_rainy_hall.hps (beginning at line 817).
RE: Door Open/Close Depending on Situation - Armored Cow - 09-18-2010
I looked at it but am still confused. For that section, the door was always closed so there was no need to check if it was closed or not.
If I tell it to check for if it is closed or not, how do I distinguish which action to take?
I know I need an "if" somewhere but am unsure what to do exactly.
RE: Door Open/Close Depending on Situation - jens - 09-18-2010
Assuming you have created the area and the callback for entering into the area.
GetSwingDoorClosed() will return a true or false when you use it, so if you do:
Code:
//Player enters the area, we check if door is closed or open
void ColliderPlayerInArea(CAN'T RECALL ALL THE STUFF THAT GOES HERE)
{
//Door is closed so we will creak it open
if(GetSwingDoorClosed("NameOfDoor") == true)
CreakOpen();
//Door is open so we will slam it shut, this is easy.
else
SetSwindDoorClosed("NameOfDoor", true, true);
}
//Door was closed, so we add a bunch of timers to give a small amount of force,
//creaking the door open after we disabled some stuff that would interfer
void CreakOpen()
{
SetSwingDoorDisableAutoClose("NameOfDoor", true);
SetSwingDoorClosed("NameOfDoor", false, false);
AddTimer("NameOfDoor", 0.05f, "TimerCreakDoor");
AddTimer("NameOfDoor", 0.1f, "TimerCreakDoor");
AddTimer("NameOfDoor", 0.2f, "TimerCreakDoor");
AddTimer("NameOfDoor", 0.3f, "TimerCreakDoor");
}
//The timer that gives the door a little push, notice that I do not know what a good
//force value is 1 might be too much or too little, and I am not sure of the direction
//so could be -1 or on the Z axis and not on the X axis as in this script.
void TimerCreakDoor(string &in asTimer)
{
AddPropForce(asTimer, 1, 0, 0, "World");

Thank you so much Jens!
RE: Door Open/Close Depending on Situation - theDARKW0LF - 09-18-2010
I followed what Jens posted, but I get an error which states, "main (81, 9): ERR : No matching signatures to 'CreakOpen()'
What gives?
EDIT: Lol, it seems I didn't notice that there was more down the code box so I had only copied the top...
RE: Door Open/Close Depending on Situation - Armored Cow - 09-18-2010
Actually I'm having troubles too. It's only slamming the door, whether it's already closed or open.
Firstly, I have this in my void OnStart section:
Code:
//Callback to slam door
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "area_lock_door", "CollideLock", true, 1);Code:
//Function called when player steps into area_lock_door
void CollideLock(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
//Door is closed so activate CreakOpen function
if(GetSwingDoorClosed("castle_1") == true)
CreakOpen();
//Door is open so slam it shut
else
StartPlayerLookAt("castle_1", 3, 4, "");
AddTimer("", 0.5f, "TimerSlamDoor");
}
void TimerSlamDoor(string &in asTimer)
{
SetSwingDoorClosed("castle_1", true, true);
SetSwingDoorLocked("castle_1", true, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "react_scare.snt", "Player", 0, false);
GiveSanityDamage(5.0f, true);
AddTimer("", 3.0f, "TimerStopLook");
}
void CreakOpen()
{
SetSwingDoorDisableAutoClose("castle_1", true);
SetSwingDoorClosed("castle_1", false, false);
StartPlayerLookAt("castle_1", 2, 2, "");
GiveSanityDamage(5.0f, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "react_breath_slow.snt", "Player", 0, false);
AddTimer("castle_1", 0.05f, "TimerCreakDoor");
AddTimer("castle_1", 0.1f, "TimerCreakDoor");
AddTimer("castle_1", 0.2f, "TimerCreakDoor");
AddTimer("castle_1", 0.3f, "TimerCreakDoor");
AddTimer("", 3.0f, "TimerStopLook");
}
void TimerCreakDoor(string &in asTimer)
{
AddPropForce("castle_1", 1, 0, 0, "World");
}
void TimerStopLook(string &in asTimer)
{
StopPlayerLookAt();
}RE: Door Open/Close Depending on Situation - theDARKW0LF - 09-18-2010
Yeah the creaking open of the door doesn't work for me either, only it slamming does.
RE: Door Open/Close Depending on Situation - Pandemoneus - 09-18-2010
You have to experiment a bit with the values here.
void TimerCreakDoor(string &in asTimer)
{
AddPropForce("castle_1", 1, 0, 0, "World");
}
You might have to use -1, -2 or 2, just try it out.
[edit]
You also got a mistake in the code.
Code:
else
StartPlayerLookAt("castle_1", 3, 4, "");
AddTimer("", 0.5f, "TimerSlamDoor");Use:
Code:
else {
StartPlayerLookAt("castle_1", 3, 4, "");
AddTimer("", 0.5f, "TimerSlamDoor");
}You have to use { } when you use more than 1 line in if-, else-, for-clauses and so on.
RE: Door Open/Close Depending on Situation - Armored Cow - 09-18-2010
No, Pandemoneus, the problem isn't that. It's still slamming the door. It's not just that the opening won't work, but that it doesn't even attempt to open it.
