Key input?

[Pedsdude]

Is it possible to press keys in a certain order to say open a door? For example, would it be possible to create a script so that if you press "a, b, c, d" a door opens?

It's a long-shot, but I hope someone knows how to do it...

[hambones]

check it on http://www.modsonline.com

spose you could do a thing like marshalls house of pain door at the start but have 5 or so scripts for each door?

[Drofder2004]

You can only detect input for 3 keys.

UseButtonPressed();
MeleeButtonPressed();
AttackButtonPressed();

you can use these together for eaxmple..

if(self isTouching(trigger) && self useButtonPressed() && self meleeButtonPressed())
Open door.

Basically the script says...
if the user is touching the trigger and they press their use button and their melee button, then the door will open.

Very complicated but it works

Ah k, will try it out after I have created all of my hurt triggers.

I knew there wasn't a chance in hell of me finding it on modsonline Do you just know all of this information or do you search for it? lol

Code: Select all

main()
{
thread secretdoor();
}

secretdoor()
{
secretdoor = getent ("secretdoor","targetname");
trigger = getent ("secretdoortrig","targetname");
while(1)
   {
   trigger waittill ("trigger");
   if(self isTouching(trigger) && self useButtonPressed() && self meleeButtonPressed())
      {
      secretdoor moveZ (112,1,0.5,0.5);
      secretdoor waittill ("movedone");
      wait(2);
      secretdoor moveZ (-112,1,0.5,0.5);
      secretdoor waittill ("movedone");
      wait 0.5;
      }
   else
      {
      wait 0.5;
      }
   }
}

Above is the code I used, below is the error I got.

[Drofder2004]

Ok, you cannot just put that code anywhere It needs adapted.

First off, what sort of trigger is it? [Multiple/Hurt/Use]

Also you have not said what "self" is. Self does not directly relate to a player, it can be a trigger if you wanted it to

This may or may not work (I am unsure what the error means)

Code: Select all

main()
{
thread secretdoor();
}

secretdoor()
{
secretdoor = getent ("secretdoor","targetname");
trigger = getent ("secretdoortrig","targetname");
while(1)
   {
   trigger waittill ("trigger",player);
   if(player isTouching(trigger) && player useButtonPressed() && player meleeButtonPressed())
      {
      secretdoor moveZ (112,1,0.5,0.5);
      secretdoor waittill ("movedone");
      wait(2);
      secretdoor moveZ (-112,1,0.5,0.5);
      secretdoor waittill ("movedone");
      wait 0.5;
      }
   else
      {
      wait 0.5;
      }
   }
} 

The thing with the code is, I do not think it will work with 2 people both trying to use the trigger, as the trigger is waiting for 1 person to trigger it and only that 1 person can also open the door.

This is a second idea for it.

Code: Select all

main()
{
thread secretdoor();
}

secretdoor()
{
players = getEntArray("player", "classname");
for(i=0; i<players.size; i++)
   players[i] thread door_think();
}

door_think()
{
secretdoor = getent ("secretdoor","targetname");
trigger = getent ("secretdoortrig","targetname");

while(1)
   {
   trigger waittill ("trigger",self);
   if(self isTouching(trigger) && self useButtonPressed() && self meleeButtonPressed())
      {
      secretdoor moveZ (112,1,0.5,0.5);
      secretdoor waittill ("movedone");
      wait(2);
      secretdoor moveZ (-112,1,0.5,0.5);
      secretdoor waittill ("movedone");
      wait 0.5;
      }
   else
      {
      wait 0.5;
      }
   }
} 

Again, this is all semi off the top of my head, so it may not work. Trial and error

[Pedsdude]

The trigger is a use (I guessed that use would be the one to use). I'll try both ideas and will get back to you

[Pedsdude]

The first code worked fine, although it seemed to interfere with the save mod. When I try and load a position it causes the game to stop with a script runtime error:

[Drofder2004]

I recommend whatever your trying to do, use switchs or triggers as what your currently trying to achieve is very complex for a single map

[Pedsdude]

lol

Is there actually any way I can avoid it interfering with the save mod or is that unavoidable?

Its probably because you had it on developer mode - speaking from experience

[Pedsdude]

It's funny how the most complicated scripting bits are actually secret bits that only I plan to use lmao

Give me 3 minutes on your new map and I will have found your secrets

[Pedsdude]

Give it your best shot
