Locking Building Doors?

[thecoolsideofthepillow 22]

I was thinking about this feature on some Life servers where you can own a house in Altis, and it allows you to lock the doors to the building.

 

Now, I don't really care about home ownership in the game, but locking doors for an enemy stronghold would be insanely fun to work with.

 

I'm just not sure how I would even do that. The doors are first of all not vehicles, so AFAIK they don't have the built in lock-out system available to them, and secondly, they are pre-placed on the map; I don't know if the *doors* have unique names I can work with, just the entire building.

 

The only way I know I could lock a door now (and perhaps it's how those Life servers work for all I know) would be to spawn an object on the otherside of the door to prevent it from opening, since the doors won't clip through objects and then delete the object when the condition to open the door is met. I was hoping there was a more elegant and non-immersion breaking method instead. The buildings I am using are the Takistan style ones, so a lot of the times you can see the other side of the door through a window; I think it would be weird to see an H block or something barring the door until you had the key.

Works great on altis... haven't tested updated version.

Now, in case this doesn't work with the map(s) I have in mind, how would I find the door name to add to this script's custom list of door names? My usual method of looking at the thing and having a hint tell me what the cursorTarget is just shows me the building name (if not <<NULL-OBJECT>>)

[cosmic10r 2331]

Not sure... haven't dug into the script much...

He has updated since I couldn't get it working on Tak but I haven't had time to test...

private _building = cursorObject;
private _numberofdoors = getNumber(configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> (typeOf _building) >> "numberOfDoors");
if(_numberofdoors == -1 OR _numberofdoors == 0) exitWith {}; //No entry (Not a compatible building)
 
for "_i" from 1 to _numberOfDoors do {
    _building animate[format["door_%1_rot",_i],0];
    _building setVariable[format["bis_disabled_Door_%1",_i],1,true];
};

 

This will lock all doors of the current building you look at, gives you an idea of how to do it. Locking doors only works for A3 vanillia buildings and not ports like Zargabad, Takistan or 3rd party maps that do not have the proper config entries. To make the old maps like Zargabad and Takistan be able to have lockable doors you'll have to create a separate addon with this as the config.cpp:

If the map you are wanting to do this with does not use A3 buildings or A2 buildings (with this above applied) then you'll have to submit the text above to the map author to have them adjust the door actions to be similar to the code above. I sent this code into the person that worked on A3MP and then Kju that did AllInArma and no one ever implemented it so meh.
