Automatic Closing Doors

[vonBennett]

i am try to get the doors to my hangman's Alley Settlement to automatically close (like the doors in Covenant do). I added the 'DoorClosureScript' but hat seems not to work? I am using the double metal utility doors attached to the Covenant wall doorway. Is that the proper script to use? If so do i need to set up the script a certain way? Thank you.

Does this work?

 

Scriptname xxxxxxx extends ObjectReference Const

Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)
utility.Wait(5.0)
Self.SetOpen(false)
EndEvent

[vonBennett]

So...I am a newbie at this and I want to thank you for your help.

 

Okay here is what I did. In the Creation Kit, I double clicked on the door and scrolled over and in 'scripts' I added a new one. In the 'add new script' I did the following (minus the quotes):

 

Name: " vonBennett_door".

Extends: "ObjectReference" with the 'const' box checked.

Documentation String: "Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)
utility.Wait(5.0)
Self.SetOpen(false)
EndEvent"

 

Then I clicked "OK", saved and exited the Creation Kit. I loaded up the game but the door does not close after opening. Did I miss a step?

 

Thank you Thuggysmurf

What you did there is add the actual script as a comment in the source file.

 

You need to now see "vonBennett_door" attached to your object, right click and edit the source, then copy in the code and choose compile from the menu.

 

Hopeful this will help :smile:

I clicked on the door, right clicked on vonBennett_Door, clicked 'edit source code' (the code was in there), clicked on 'compile', upon completion it stated that is was successful, I saved and then edited out of the 'edit source', then saved and exited the C.K.

 

The script in the source code: Scriptname vonBennett_door extends ObjectReference Const

Event OnActivate(ObjectReference akActionRef)
utility.Wait(5.0)
Self.SetOpen(false)
EndEvent

 

 

Loaded the game but doors still not closing automatically after opening. I must be still not doing something right?

 

I will continue to work on this. Thank you both for your help.

**Update*** I got the automatic closing door script from Thuggysmurf to work.; I was making a mistake creating the new script. Thanks again Thuggysmurf and Pickysaurus.

I'm trying to make this work using an ID Card Reader and the RRSecretDoorBrick01. Specifically, I wanted the door to close after 5 seconds, but I can't get the script to work.

Can you explain what mistake you were making?

Thanks!

Here this should work. Put this on the door

 

 

 

Event onload()

while self.isenabled()

utility.wait(5)

self.setopen(false)

endwhile

Endevent

[WondererSoLo]

Nice! I'll try that.

Thank you!

 

Edit: It didn't work for me, but I could have implemented it incorrectly.

Do I have to add a property to the script?

For further clarification, I use a keycard to swipe the ID card reader which opens the SecretDoor. So far, the keycard works on the card reader and the door opens, but I cannot get it to close.

This might be because it's not a typical door and has different animation states

 

You might find out what states it has in the preview window of the object
