is it possible so you can make a key open a certain door ..and not have it lockpickable or able to be frobbed?..so you have to find the key in the lvl to open the door?

Yes, but it'll be a bit messy to get rid of the frob highlight.

I might be wrong about all this, so you might want to dig around in the (http://www.ttlg.com/wiki) wiki, just in case.

To lock a door, you place the door actor as usual, then right-click and select properties (or press f4, though that doesn't always open the window), then right-click the window and select Add Property>Lock>bIslocked and Lock>KeyString

bIsLocked should be set to TRUE, so that when you frob the door, it doesn't open (but it still highlights, so you can frob it and hear the locked sound).

KeyString should be set to some easy to remember text.

You then need to add a key actor (under SetDressing>Inventory>Keys I think), which you add the KeyString property too as well, with the same name, and when the key is picked up it should unlock any doors with the same KeyString text.

To make the door un-highlightable too would require making the HighlightDist on the door=0, then when the key is picked up having a script that increases the value back up (defaults to 128), so it highlights and can be frobbed to use the key and unlock it.

Please help me.

When my unr is more then 4 MB i can´t play the map. Why?

In flesh mode i can see everything o.k. but game not run.
Original maps (>4mb) run correctly.

How can i stop an AI during his patrol to look at an item./area.for a random amount of time?...got a funny idea its something to do with focus points but not to sure...

norbik, have you checked for off-grid BSPs? I doubt your vertex pools are the problem if you're only up to 4 MB. Do you have a lot of smeshes? Any errors in your logs?

bigall, I think you need a lookpoint in the AI path, too. I haven't got my T3Ed here, but I think you have the AI patrol to the lookpoint and link it to the focuspoint to tell the AI where to look. At least that's how I remember it working with the playanimpoint. I'm just guessing, so don't shoot me if I got it wrong.

I found previous posts and update vertex pool in default.ini and user.ini and fixed offgrid BSP and it´s O.K. - but it´s strange for me. I always snaped the grid. :confused: . Why is that error?

sorry my bad english. i hope you understand me.

I've found that even with grid snap on, I still get off grid BSP. It's very apparent when I use vertex editing. Check for off grid BSP often! :thumb:

Yes. I must watch my step. ;)

norbik, where in Czech Republic are you? I may be going there next month unless a coworker snags the job from me. I'm not sure what city, yet.

norbik on 1/8/2005 at 16:24

I´m from Znojmo. It´s small city in south Moravia region, near the state boundary with Austria.
