Scripting help

[chucksteel]

I'm trying to use a custom activator to open a vault door, My problem is that the GenericControlPodScript doesn't work on it. It only seems to work when it's attached to the standard vault control panel. (sorry I don't know the form ID of it but, it the one with the animated lever.)

 

Does anyone know of a scrip which will work on a custom activator that will open the vault door. My custom activator is a Mainframe.

 

I tried to edit the GenericControlpodScript but, I haven't had any luck getting anything to work.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Create an activator with the model you want (mainframe)

 

Put a script on it, something like

 

scn myscriptname

BeginOnactivate

if mydoorref.getopenstate 3
    mydoorref.setopenstate 1
elseif mydoorref.getopenstate 1
    mydoorref.setopenstate 3
endif

End

 

On the vault door ref, go to the activate parent tab and tick the box that says something like 'only activate via parent', that way they have to use the panel and can't just activate the gear door.

 

Edit: got my getopenstate/setopenstate parameters backward.

Thanks for the help but, I couldn't get it to work so, like any determined person "I gave up!" http://forums.nexusmods.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/wallbash.gif

 

I just changed the last step in opening the door by using the standard vault control panel. http://forums.nexusmods.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/sad.gif

 

thanks anyway,

What part didn't work?

I got a toilet to open the Mick and Ralph's secret door, we should be able to figure it out.

it never activated the vault gear door. I tried your scrip, I tried editing a linked ref scrip used by the original vault door control panel.

 

I spent the better part of yesterday afternoon trying to fix this bug, the odd thing is it was working at one time with the vanilla script. I changed some models out and, it stopped working. http://forums.nexusmods.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/wallbash.gif

I forgot the part where you set the mainframe activator as the activate parent of the vault door.. You might not need a script at all that way, never tried with a vault door before.

first make sure that the used mainframe is an activator

and not something else i think there are 3 or 4 mainframes

 

about the VGearDoor...it is an bullSh!t door cuz it dosent give propper feedback to scripts like

"GetOpenState"

i dont know why but as a simple solution to a switch or activator make a script that only activates the gear door without a script that checks thing like "if animisplaying" cuz the vgear wont answer correct

 

also if you use an "Begin OnActivate script you have to put the word "Activate" right before the "Endif" and "End"

 

okay something like that

Scn ILoveChuckSteel

ref My Ref

Begin OnActivate

Set MyRef to GetLinkedRef
MyRef.Activate
Activate ;this allows the switch to activate
end

 

 

or maybe super simple

 

Begin OnActivate

Activate

end

 

if u use the second script just set the

 

Activation Parent on the desired door to the Mainframe

 

or any other activator

 

 

okay simple version

 

use my second Script code on youre activator

 

and now set the Activation Parent on youre door to this activator....
