Close+Lock Door (req key) On switch activation

[RedNinja029]

After looking at a couple of videos and reading several threads and having a jab at doing it myself a dozen times I can;t get what I need to happen, happen.

 

I have a door called "DoorBunker" which IS set as a persistent reference.

I have a switch Called "BunkerDoorSwitch"

 

I have created a script called "LockDoorSwitch"

 

I want the Door to close and locked (requiring key) on activation of the switch.

I have a key card setup so that's done with. But there's something wrong with the script

 

As mentioned door is set as a persistent reference. The switch itself is linked to it.

 

=================================

scn LockDoorSwitch

begin onactivate player

ref myLink

set myLink to getLinkedRef

myLink.lock

end

===================================

^ i know that is just locking the door i copied the script from a terminal thought using a linked ref would apply the same effect but it does not work at all.

then i discovered this script>>>>>>>

scn DoorCloseLockAvgOnActivate

;

;This script will cause a door to close and lock on activation from a reference other than the player

;

;==================================

begin onActivate

if isActionRef player == 0

lock 2

setOpenState 0

else

activate

endif

end

this did not work either.

Where am I failing here...

Also the last script maybe erroneous in the fact i wish to use a key for it anyhow instead an average lock. I'm guessing lock 0 is a key like the console commands. As you can see I've done some research before posting here I hope someone can guide me here in a solution for a simple door close+lock activated switch which i want to be able to use multiple time not just once.

Thanks for reading

Incase I caused confusion, the would be unlockable as per normal activation with a keycard. the switch wouldnt require the keycard but just initiate a lockdown of that specific door upon activation by the player itself.

Realised now I've probably posted this in the wrong section so if any moderator could help me move it or delete/close it and i'll move it to the other section would be appreciated. Thanks.
