Question About Activate Parent Relationships

[rosestorm]

I know that it is possible to create a door with two or more parent relationships, so my question is when a door has two or more active parent relationships is it possible to make it to where one of the switches hooked up to a door will only open it, and the other one will only close it, and not both?

Not without writing your own script to do so.

Here, try this (It compiles but I haven't yet tested it)

 

scriptName CustomActivateToggleLinkedRef extends ObjectReference
{
- Opens/Closes the linked ref when this object is activated.  Make sure the linked ref is something that CAN be opened
}

ObjectReference myLinkedRef

bool Property OpenClose = TRUE Auto
{TRUE = Open - False = Close}

Event OnActivate(ObjectReference triggerRef)
if (triggerRef == (Game.GetPlayer() as ObjectReference))
	myLinkedRef = GetLinkedRef() as ObjectReference
	If (OpenClose == TRUE)
		If (myLinkedRef.GetOpenState() == 3)	;Is the door closed?
			myLinkedRef.Activate(triggerRef)	;Activate the linked foor
			Self.Activate(triggerRef)			;Activate self to force normal animation e.g. chain pulled
		EndIf
	Else
		If (myLinkedRef.GetOpenState() == 1)	;Is the door open?
			myLinkedRef.Activate(triggerRef)	;Activate the linked foor
			Self.Activate(triggerRef)			;Activate self to force normal animation e.g. chain pulled
		EndIf
	Endif
Endif
EndEvent
