Hi all!
Posted this on the toolset area as well, but...
Want a keyring to keep all keys character has. Was thinking of making a "key" bag of holding, but would rather do it this way.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I wouldnt use any physical items at all.
Store a variable.
Set the door to locked.
On the failtoopen script, check to see if the player has the variable (i.e. has the key).
Open the door if they do.

AH! Now there's an idea!
Question on it though...so lets say I had a global var (say gv_key_tavern). Were you thinking that this should be boolean (true/false) and how would I assign it to just one character?
Please brain dump your thought oh great one  |

well, the boolean var will be a INT var actually (0:FALSE, 1:TRUE) for only one PC you could use another local var on placeable. By example:
At the begin you took a player and put his data on the placeable local var (maybe his name) and use that for identify which is the player, the other a simple item on the player iventory with the curse property

I posted in the toolset forum on your keyring item. But I will repost here since I suggested scripting ideas. I would have each key have their own on use script that destroys the key and creates a local int on the player. I like locals instead of global, and if you choose to have multiplayer then the player with the key can only unlock the door.
Each key would set a local int true/false on the player. They should have a name that you can use to track what key goes to what door. The on use script should also make sure the player has the keyring before it adds the key to it.
For the door scripts you should be able to use one script for all the doors and just change a local string on each door that is the name of the true/false int.
I would also suggest setting the doors normally with the key field so that if the player doesn't have the keyring or hasn't added it yet they can still unlock the door. |

I'm following your train of thought on this and like the idea. It would also give me a nice way of allowing the player to sell back a house/whatever to a vendor.
The thing that has me scratching my head is I haven't set an int on a player before.
Would it be something like SetLocalInt(o, "Tavern_key", 1); ????
Can you tell me or point me in the direction of where I can find out how?
Thanks!Edited By Saintmac on 11/11/09 04:23 |

To set a local int you just need to define the PC.
There are templates for the item on use script that will define the PC as the item user.
object oUser = GetItemActivator();
For the fail to open or pick lock
object oUser = GetLastUsedBy(); |

You may find my Scripting For Noobs tutorial helpful. There is a section specifically on using variables.Edited By _Knightmare_ on 11/11/09 15:13 |

Thanks! I will totally check it out! I'm a programmer and dig C, so looking forward to trying my hand at scripting. Edited By Saintmac on 11/12/09 01:22 |

Hey, just want to thank you all for your help. I'm having a ball scripting.
A special thanks for the links and all the effort it took.

Ok, so I've been playing! I have this script on the onFailtoOpen on the door.
void main(){
object oPC = GetClickingObject();
if (!GetIsPC(oPC)) return;
if (GetLocalInt(oPC, "tbb_cellar_key") != 0)
{
object oTarget;
oTarget = GetObjectByTag("tbb_cellar_door");
SetLocked(oTarget, FALSE);
}
}
Here's the thing I'm fighting. When the character goes to unlock the door. the word "locked" floats up on the display, the script above fires and Merry Christmas the door unlocks.
Its not the prettiest but it works for now.
I would like to add a floaty display statement to state that the door is now "unlocked". Should I stick in a conversation or is there an other way?

Quick idea off top of head - add a float string or something that says "... but you have a key." If timed right, maybe it will say "Locked ... but you have a key."  |

lol..well, I'm cool with that, but confused about the speak string.
I've tried ActionSpeakString and and others, but getting this [cellar door] "unlocked"
Not pretty.
What's the proper way to display a string that looked like the onFailtoOpen "locked" ?
