Lock/Unlock Vehicles

[socs 92]

Hey guys, back yet again with another question lol... This time I'm just looking for a simple way to lock a helicopter and be able to unlock it once a player has found the "keys" so to speak... Any way to do this? All help is much appreciated...

Something like:

_vehicle lock 2;
player setVariable ["hasKeys", false, true];

_object addAction ["Pickup Keys",
{
	player setVariable ["hasKeys", true, true];
	player removeAction (_this select 2);
}, [], 0, false, false, "", ""];

_lockStatus = if (locked _vehicle > 1) then {"Unlock"} else {"Locked"};

_vehicle addAction [format ["%1 %2", _lockStatus, getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> typeOf cursorObject >> "displayName")],
{
	if (locked _vehicle > 1) then
	{
		_vehicle lock 0;
	} else
	{
		_vehicle lock 2;
	};
}, [], 0, false, false, "", "_this getVariable ""hasKeys"""];

None of this is tested but should give you an idea / good start. _object and _vehicle will need to be changed accordingly.

_vehicle addAction [ format [ "%1 %2", [ "Lock", "Unlock" ] select ( locked _vehicle > 1 ), getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> typeOf _vehicle >> "displayName") ], {
	params [ "_target", "_caller", "_id", "_args" ];
	
	_vehicleName = getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> typeOf _target >> "displayName");
	
	if ( locked _target > 1 ) then {
		_target lock 0;
		_target setUserActionText [ _id, format[ "Lock %1", _vehicleName ] ];
	}else{
		_target lock 2;
		_target setUserActionText [ _id, format[ "Unlock %1", _vehicleName ] ];
	};
}, [], 0, false, false, "", "_this getVariable [ 'hasKeys', false ]"];

Spoiler

this addAction [ format [ "%1 %2", [ "Lock", "Unlock" ] select ( locked this > 1 ), getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> typeOf this >> "displayName") ], {
	params [ "_target", "_caller", "_id", "_args" ];
	
	_target lock ( [ 2, 0 ] select ( locked _target > 1 ) );
	_target setUserActionText [ _id, format[ "%1 %2", [ "Lock", "Unlock" ] select ( locked _target > 1 ), getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> typeOf _target >> "displayName") ] ];
	
}, [], 0, false, false, "", "_this getVariable [ 'hasKeys', false ]"];

Not so easy to read, so I'll hide it here :D

Even better, @Larrow! Nice select in the format. Didn't think of that.

Fun! We could even think about specific keys for each vehicles (as in real life):

 

addAction condition becomes:

"_this getVariable ['vehicleKey','none'] isEqualTo _target getVariable ['vehicleKey','keyPass'] ]"
