Hold Space To Pick Lock

[black_hawk_mw2_87 74]

Hello, everyone. As you can see from my title, I am looking for a script to use in a mission. I need to be able to unlock a door of any building in the editor. I guess there's an option in the attributes of a building that must be changed or I need to put a script in the init field. I didn't find anything useful in Google, but I think it hast to be something with: this addAction. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Cheers!

Did you already lock all the doors on map? Or just some buildings, in a trigger, or area?

[black_hawk_mw2_87 74]

I don't know how to lock doors of buildings already on the map. If I place buildings from the editor - that's doable. But I want to know about 1 building, no matter what exactly. The mission I played was like this - all doors were locked, but standing in front of one of them, I was given this option with holding space to pick the lock. There was even some ambient sound of unlocking. I guess it's something like this: this  setVehicleLock "UNLOCKED";

But first off, I guess I must use:  setVehicleLock "LOCKED"; in the init's field of the building and right after a trigger is activated (done by holding space) it should be set to:  setVehicleLock "UNLOCKED"; - which I shall put in trigger's On Activation field. Something like this should do the job, I hope. Any ideas how exactly?

OK, let's say you blocked doors of buildings in edito (via the edit terrain object module).

 

Place a trigger on map (anywhere, no area needed, not repeatable)

set it to true (instead of this) in condition field

 

copy/paste this code (tested but not really optimized), in on activation field:

 

0 = [] spawn {
  while {true} do {
    _houses = ((nearestObjects [player, ["house"], 50]) select {isnil {_x getVariable "passedHouse"}});
    if (count _houses > 0) then {
      _house = _houses #0;
      _house setVariable ["passedHouse",true];
      [_house, "Lockpick door", "\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa", "\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa",
        "
          call {
            private ['_intersects','_select_door'];
            _intersects = ([cursorObject, 'VIEW'] intersect [ASLToATL eyepos player, (screentoworld [0.5,0.5])]);
            _select_door = if (count _intersects > 0) then [{format ['%1_sound_source', (_intersects #0 #0)]},{''}];
            if (_this distance _target < 15) then {
              MGI_select_door = _select_door;
              true
            } else {false};
          };
          true
        ",
        "true",
        {},
        {},
        {
          if (_target animationSourcePhase MGI_select_door == 0) then {
            _target animateSource [MGI_select_door,1]
          } else {
          _target animateSource [MGI_select_door, 0]
          }
        },
        {},
        [],
        5,
        nil,
        false,
        false
      ] call BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd;
    };
    sleep 0.5;
  };
};

 

Should work to unlock/relock the doors.

OK, thank you a lot, but is it going to give me this option to unlock a specific door of the building using SPACE with the HOLD SPACE action? I hope you know UNDERDOGS campaign and I want to do it the exact same way.

[pierremgi 4873]

You can adapt it for specific door(s) if needed.

- First of all, this script works for any locked building. That mean on don't nee to loop the code if you know which building you're aiming for.

- Second: say you want to act on door 3 only, just ad a condition like here:

 

 0 = [] spawn { while {true} do { _houses = ((nearestObjects [player, ["house"], 50]) select {isnil {_x getVariable "passedHouse"}}); if (count _houses > 0) then { _house = _houses #0; _house setVariable ["passedHouse",true]; [_house, "Lockpick door", "\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa", "\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa", " call { private ['_intersects','_select_door']; _intersects = ([cursorObject, 'VIEW'] intersect [ASLToATL eyepos player, (screentoworld [0.5,0.5])]); _select_door = if (count _intersects > 0) then [{format ['%1_sound_source', (_intersects #0 #0)]},{''}]; if (_this distance _target < 15 &&  _select_door == 'door_3_sound_source']) then { MGI_select_door = _select_door; true } else {false}; }; true ", "true", {}, {}, { if (_target animationSourcePhase MGI_select_door == 0) then { _target animateSource [MGI_select_door,1] } else { _target animateSource [MGI_select_door, 0] } }, {}, [], 5, nil, false, false ] call BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd; }; sleep 0.5; }; };

Thanks a lot, dude, I really appreciate it. I will test it tomorrow after work. And I will share the results. 🙂

Hey! I know it has been a long time, but the holdaction still remains after unlocking the doors, how can I solve this?

I can check my version and see my test mission and if it doesn't, give me a mail or something to share it with you. 🙂
