Title: Basic (door)Key mechanism?
Post by: KptnKook on August 29, 2013, 01:30:43 AM

I realized, that i don't even know how to open a door, after taking the bonus_key. how do i trigger, toggle or set this up?
i don't know how to detect that a key was picked up.  ???

thanks

doors are automatically opened by the corresponding key when you walk into them its hard coded.
it is possible to make custom keys using this string:

Code: [Select]

<entry name="type"><int>4</int></entry>
however there is no way to display the new key on the hud so when i do this i apply and on item destroyed trigger that activates some text.

You can actually show them in the hud if you are willing to modify it, take a look at line 52-54 in the menus/gui/hud.xml.

great.. i am so willing to do this!   8)

i am also willing to add a new "rope" item, which can be used on some occasions. it should be seen in the hud, also.
