Hey modders!

My problem sounds more complex than it is. I want a zoning door to be initially inaccessible or "locked and cant be picked" and made accessible or unlocked by using a lever in a different cell.

The idea is pretty simple but I couldnt firgure the script out yet.





My first idea was looking like this: Going from inaccessible to accessible seems to be easier than from "cant be picked" to "unlocked".
Have the door initially inaccessible and the use of the lever (onaction) makes inaccessible become false. (or accessible = true). The reference itself shouldnt be the problem.


Does anyone have a more "precise" solution?

Cheers!

On 'init' you can call 'BlockActivation()' on the door. So this INIT would be attached to the door as a script.

 Scriptname EntranceDoor extends ObjectReference Event OnInit()  BlockActivation()  Debug.messagebox("Door initalized as blocked")endEvent

On the lever, you would have as part of its activate script,
You will need to add a property reference to the script to point to your door. (I called it 'myDoorREF' in the script below)

 	myDoorREF.BlockActivation(false)	Debug.messagebox("Door changed to unblocked")

Its as easy as that! Thanks for the answer, sir!

That assumes the player has 'loaded' the blocked door in their game BEFORE they activate the lever. Otherwise, when the door is loaded, it will become blocked again.

The player will run past the locked door before he gets the chance to use the lever. Will this be sufficient?

yes, the door would then be loaded.
But it will be blocked everytime the door is loaded. If you want it to remain open, you can set a variable in the script.

Scriptname EntranceDoor extends ObjectReferenceint myStateEvent OnInit()   if myState == 0	  myState = 1	  BlockActivation()   endifendEvent
