How to open a door with a script.

[Icaruk 14]

I was trying to use this:

buildingID animate ["IDontKnowTheNameOfTheDoor", 1]

But I don't know the door ID or the building ID.

This is why I can't see the door ID.

Any thoughts? Thanks

Try this out

_theBuilding = nearestBuilding someObject;
_theBuilding animate ["door_1_rot", 1]; // open - the number in door_1_rot changes according to the door?
//_theBuilding animate ["door_1_rot", 0]; //close

Nothing happens :(

Btw, where did you got the door's name?

Somewhere on google. Can't remember the url.

In the editor, did you place an object on / near the building and give it a name? IE; an empty Hpad named someObject

I placed a game logic named "a" near the building then I created a trigger near the door (so when you are near the door, the door will open):

null = [] execVM "scripts\door.sqf";

door.sqf

_theBuilding = nearestBuilding a; 
_theBuilding animate ["door_1_rot", 1];

And the results are not working? try using door_2_rot, door_3_rot etc etc.

Also, i believe thre are different doors for hangars, bubble building (or wtfe they're called). What type of building are you referencing?

Hello,

Door Standard:

"door_X_rot"

Door Automatic: (Exemple: Airport Altis)

"door_XA_move" //Side Left

"door_XB_move" //Side Right

There we go. Thanks much.

I can't make it working, example mission maybe? :P

[iceman77 18]

Example using only a game logic.

Example init.sqf

You can look into "Splendid Config Viewer" in sub-class "UserActions" of building

Exemple with the side right Airport Altis :

"configfile >> 
"CfgVehicles" >> 
	"Land_Airport_right_F" >> 
		"UserActions"
			OpenDoor_1
						condition = "((this animationPhase 'Door_1_rot') < 0.5) && ((this getVariable ['bis_disabled_Door_1',0]) != 1)";
						displayName = "Ouvrir portes";
						displayNameDefault = "<img image='\A3\Ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\Actions\open_door_ca.paa' size='2.5' />";
						onlyForPlayer = 0;
						position = "Door_1_trigger";
						priority = 0.4;
						radius = 1.5;
						statement = "([this, 'Door_1_rot', 'Door_Handle_1_rot_1', 'Door_Handle_1_rot_2'] execVM "\A3\Structures_F\scripts\Door_open.sqf")";

Here you have all informations of action used, the name, icon, Priority of action, the condiftion, ....

In statement you can see the animation name "Door_1_rot" and the script used.

Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\Addons\structures_f.pbo

Door_open.sqf

// Open a door with an animated doorhandle.

// _this select 0		object pointer
// _this select 1		door animation
// _this select 2		doorhandle up->down animation
// _this select 3		doorhandle down->up animation

(_this select 0) animate [(_this select 1), 1];
(_this select 0) animate [(_this select 2), 1];
(_this select 0) animate [(_this select 3), 1];

Yeah the config viewer & pbos are very handy. All info you could ever need is in there. :)

Thank you all! The door that I needed to open is called "door_7A_move", these are the sliding doors on the airport terminal.

I'm learning a lot with you guys <3
