Door Switch without using a Script Mover

(Jecoliah) #1

I have not seen this posted anywhere else.

I believe i have created a new method for doing this.

The problem with using a door switch is that the door could be opened by the players by standing in front of it and pressing the “use” button.

This solution is something i figured out and posted over on Surface Forums, link below.

It works good and you dont have to do any scripting :clap:

Anyways, here is a pic of the entities…

Let me know if this solution has been posted anywhere else.

Thanks,

Jec

The door on the left is a normal door, the one on the right can only be opened by using the switch.

And here is the map file…

This approach is not really new (though you might be the first one to post such a whole prefab) but is rarely used because a “locked” sign pops up every time you come close to the door. Most people don’t want this and make doors with the script_mover approach.

(RayBan) #3

you can get rid of the locked door sign by making a brush that extends out about 8 units around the door and make that brush a
func_invisible_user with the key/val of cursorhint/HINT_NONE, that way the door signs of locked or usable wont show, even
though the doors can be used or you will hear the locked sound if its locked. its also a good way to have hidden doors that
players wont know can be accessed until they try them, because they wont see any indicators when they walk up to them.

script movers are ok, but they door require the scripting, plus the fact that those types of doors can crush you.

Thanks RayBan, Yes the whole point of this is that you dont have to do any scripting :smiley:

Nice solution for the cursor hint :banana:
