Keycodes

Hey guys. Im back after (one.. two) TWO years! :eek:

Just wondering, how do i do keycodes, EG:

I press 1-3-3-7 on a key pad and it opens the door?

Please help! Thx :biggrin:

OK this is going to take a while to explain :smile:

Entities = Green Entity names / values = Yellow Entity parameters = Cyan

First off make your buttons (func_button) of a keypad (1-9) giving them all a name, in this case i'll call them keypad1, keypad2, keypad3 etc...

Set the target of keypad1 to keypad1correct. Set the other targets of all the other buttons to keypadwrong.

This may seem strange but im now going to use trigger_changetarget's for the secequence.

Ok, create two trigger_changetarget's and call them both keypad1correct. Have the target of one as them keypad1 and the new target as keypadwrong, and set the the other one: ([color=cyan]target = keypad3, new target = keypad3onecorrect) ("3one" because we are using two 3's as the correct combination).[/color]

So far we have: Player presses button "1". If he presses any other button nothing happens.

Ok now we need to create the [color=limegreen]trigger_changetarget[/color] for button 3. For this its very similar , we create another trigger_changetarget and set the target = keypad3 to the new target = keypay3twocorrect. Dont forget to name the trigger_changetarget keypad3onecorrect. Only one change target is used because its only effecting one butting since the code goes 3-3.

So far we have: Player presses button "1" and then "3".

Ok this step is almost the same as the first two trigger_changetargets's, make them exactly the same except make them change keypad3's target to keypadwrong and change keypad7's target to triggerobject (Because its the last button to be pressed).

So far we have: Player presses button "1", "3" and then "3".

Now it gets easier . (Im assuming you know how to make a multi_manager, if not theres a tu on here some where).

Make a multi_mananger called triggerobject which targets's the door that you want to open and keypadwrong all with a time of 0 secs (instant).

Now make 3 more trigger_changetarget's called keypad3. This time they set: (keypad1 = keypad1correct, keypad3 = keypadwrong, keypad7 = keypadwrong).

Right now theres all the other buttons than cancel the process, if you get the code wrong. Just make them all target keypadwrong! And we are done!

If the player presses "1" then "3" then "3" and finally "7" the mulit_manager makes the code reset while targeting your door.

I hope this helped. And if anyone notices a problem with this, PLEASE DO SAY.

If that turns out to be legit, someone needs to make it into a tutorial for next time.

I'm planning to, im going to test it out today, and tweak it abit.

Indeed. I wanted to make an algebraic equation in my map internet,
involving symbols, numbers and letters :biggrin: but this is not exactly
what I would call an "easy read" :razz:

I don?t know them and i would like to go into the rooms

thank you,

Yours [Dixi]*Orange

:rolleyes:

Keys!!!

Do you mean keypads(code) or a key that you use to open doors?
Next start a new thread for your problem.(if it's not answered)

Edit:

What the heck? This isn't even a mapping question! :rocketwhore:

I'm afraid thats not the sort of question these forums are for Orange - this is a forum for asking level design questions, not questions about gameplay of existing levels. You could ask in the general forums, but I highly doubt you'll get any answer to a question like this on this website. I don't think we have many fans of surf maps here to be honest. Good luck finding the code or whatever it is you need though :smile:

Not many, but a few. I have seen the topic a time or two.

Yeah.. Good luck with it and... Welcome to Snarkpit.
