Auto Lock Door Script

[BrokenSwords]

Hello, Darryl here.

 

Could someone help me sort this script out.

 

I'm making house mod that's in the gameworld and not a seperate cell but I don't know how to auto lock a door, I know a little of scripting but not a lot.

 

The door has a key for the player only, there's already a script in the game that allows NPC's to auto lock doors but it stops the player, I have taken this and modiified it to what I thought would work but alas it doesn't.

 

I've attached a picture of thier script (top) and my modifed script (bottom).

 

I hope I get some replies.

 

Yours truely.

Darryl.

If i'm right then the set openstate 0 is used to close the door.

I'm not great at scripting but maybe this might work.. :unsure:

 

Begin OnActivate

 

if isActionRef Player == 1

lock 2

SetOpenState 1

 

else

 

if isActionRef Player == 0

lock 2

SetOpenState 0

 

Activate

 

endif

endif

end

 

hopefully this works

I would just put a trigger box on each side of the door that locks it when you walk through it. No one ever said I was an elegant man.

Hey Darryl,

 

I had the same need awhile ago and used the OnClose function as a trigger to reset the lock status (255). Any item that has an animated close sequence can use the OnClose function. I will post a copy of my super simple script tonight when I get home from work.

how about

 

begin OnActivate
 if IsActionRef player
   Activate
 endif
end

 

NPCs won't be able to open doors with that script (nor they will be able to close them).

So, what I did was create a duplicate door form and added the following script:

 

Scn ModAutoLock

 

Begin OnClose ModMyArmoryDoor

 

ModMyArmoryDoor.Lock 255

 

End

 

I then used this object and set it to be default locked and associated it with a key.

 

I've seen this done a bunch of different ways; they all worked but few were this elegant ;)
