When you go back in to edit the .esp, select "active file" when you click it.

This can be done a number of ways, probably the easiest is to make you door and switch persistant references and call them a name eg.mydoor, my switch. First your switch will be your activator, on this item you will need a script, create a bool called locked/visible which you use to check to see what state it the door is in. So now in the onactivate block have an if/else block that check if(locked) unlock mydoor

Begin onactivate
if(locked)
{
mydoor.unlock
set locked to false //check will now show unlocked
}
else{
mydoor.lock
set locked to true //check will now show locked
}

 

This is mainly from the top of my head, so its all pseudo code for the most part you will need to check out the proper function syntax etc. If the above script is a bit too confusing then you need to check out the internet first as its quite an easy thing to get working.

 

The best place to get scripting tutorials is the CS wiki and the geck wiki. If you are looking for how doors switches work in game use the geck to find the National Guard Depot, there is a nice setup with a switch link there, also vault 101, but thinking about the above they might do it by reference linking which is another form of referencing through a variable instead of a reference name like mydoor.

Have a read of this Scripting tutorial. It should help with the basics. If you are really stuck pm me, im not at my own PC so I cant magic scripts, though learning through doing is the best way.

i learned how to make a weap say hello world its triky scripting but its somthing i have to learn thanks! ;D

If you have any background in coding it should be easy, but the main thing to do is learn those basics. Then learn how to use functions. Also have some good reference pages like the wiki's, the oblivion one is more robust and you should look through that as 90% is carried over. The scripting that is used is very much like Visual basic, verbose, ie lots of words to do simple things. Its easy enough to get a grasp of.

 

Also post a screen of your talking gun, it sounds highly amusing.
