Password/passcode vehicle lock?

[nullsystems 0]

Hi all

I have a dilema, something which I cannot find anywhere im afraid.

Im trying to achieve the following:

On get_in vehicle

  request passcode

     If correct: start engine

  else: get_out

Does anyone know how to achieve this?

Essentially I want the user to have to enter a small password to be able to start the engine, or within 10 seconds he is booted out the vehicle.

Any ideas on how to achieve this?

My appologies if I am in the wrong forum.

This really belongs in the scripting section.

It would indeed be possible using dialogs and some basic scripting.

Sorry about the wrong location.

Do you know of any good tutorials or starting points for dialogs?

What I was thinking was:

10 Buttons ( 1-0 )

6 buttons are required for passcode.

Each time one of the 6 is pressed, game_logic sets the objectives to DONE, once all 6 are done, it causes a trigger to start the vehicles engine.

If a wrong button is pressed, you are ejected from the vehicle, the objectives are set to fail, and you must wait 10 seconds until its unlocked to try again.

Pretty easy if you think about it, just never done dialog buttons before.

There are one or two tutorials on dialogs I believe, but I don't know where to find them I'm afraid.

Your solution makes it sound way too difficult. It would be a lot simpler to create passworded vehicles than that. No need for game logics or objectives. Variables would do fine.

Exellent,

I just finnished the password/lock system, works great.

Only problem is, someone can lock the vehicle from the ground if they dont know the correct code.

Is there a way to add an UNLOCK menu to a vehicles menu while your inside ? ( add to the eject, get out, manual fire etc ).

addaction is open to everyone. so not just inside. a dialog could be used though, just send it to a corner.

Clearly you want to make sure that the vehicle cannot be locked while there is someone inside it!

Here you'll find vektorboson's Dialog-Tut. 1.0 ... but this one is german only. Don't know if there's an english version, too.
