Timed doors

[Criss]

I've been trying to make doors automatically close after 5 seconds in the Bunker map I've been working on, but I can't get it to work.

I first tried to set the InitialState of the movers to TriggerOpenTimed instead of TriggerToggle, but that prevents players from manually closing them, so that's a no go.

Then I tried to have the Mover Events call a toggled TimedTrigger through OpeningEvent and ClosingEvent that would trigger the KFUseTrigger (or the movers themselves), and that wouldn't work.

So then I tried a scripted trigger that would wait for the event that opens the movers, then waitfortimer 5 seconds and retrigger either the movers or KFUseTrigger, and that wouldn't work either.

I can't figure out why that wouldn't work. Does anyone know of a method to make timed doors work properly?

Try the property StayOpenTime in the mover tab of your door.

That only works if the InitialState is set to TriggerOpenTimed, but that prevents players from closing doors or reopening while they're closing.

KFDoorMovers can only be trigged by KFUseTriggers and KFUseTriggers can only trigger KFDoorMovers, according to a bunch of tests I've done. Try using a regular mover instead of a KFDoorMover.

I thought I had it, but it only works when the player opens the door.

Here's how to set it up like I have so far:

Spoiler!

Make a TriggeredCondition to tell the ScriptedTrigger if the door is open or closed. (Will be needed to make sure the door doesn't reopen if a player closed it.)
- Create a Actor>Triggers>TriggeredCondition.
- In its properties, go in Events and set it's tag to something like Door1State or whatever fitting name.
- Still in properties, go in Triggered Condition and set bEnabled and bToggled to False, and bTriggerControlled to True.
- Select the KFDoorMover and in the MoverEvents of its properties, set OpeningEvent and ClosingEvent as the tag you gave to the TriggeredCondition (like Door1State). (If you're using double doors you only need to set this on one of the two KFDoorMovers.)

Make a ScriptedTrigger that will handle the timer, check if the door is open, and close them if they are.
- While you're in the KFDoorMover's properties, set OpenedEvent as what you'll use to trigger the ScriptedTrigger you'll be making, like Door1Timer.
- Create a Actor>Keypoint>AIScript>ScriptedSequence>ScriptedTrigger.
- In its properties, go under the AIScript tab and expand Actions.
- Set action 0 as Action_WAITFOREVENT and the event as what you're using to trigger the timer (like Door1Timer). This will get it triggered when the mover is opened.
- Set action 1 as Action_WAITFORTIMER and Pause Time as how long you want the door to stay opened in seconds.
- Set action 2 as Action_IFCONDITION and the TriggeredConditionTag as the tag you gave to the TriggeredCondition in step 1 (like Door1State). This will let the ScriptedTrigger know if the door is open, and continue to the next action if it is.
- Set action 3 as Action_TRIGGEREVENT and the Event as the Tag on your KFDoorMover (this is the same event used in the KFUseTrigger to open the doors). Since the door was determined to be open, it triggers it to close.
- Set action 4 as Action_GOTOACTION and the ActionNumber as 0. The door was closed, job done, it returns to the first action and waits for it to be opened again.
- Set action 5 as Action_ENDSECTION. This is where the Action_IFCONDITION skips to if it finds that the door is already closed.
- Set action 6 as Action_GOTOACTION and the ActionNumber as 0 (again). Door was already closed, job done, goes back to waiting for the door to open again.

You're right YoYoBatty. Somehow, the KFDoorMovers can't be triggered by anything other than a KFUseTrigger if the doors were opened by zeds. I guess that, ideally, it would be best to make a class with KFUseTrigger as parent that has the timer functionality, but I don't have the coding knowledge to do that. Can anyone help?

 

[YoYoBatty]

Although I am very good at programming and all I'm not sure if I could do this, but I will give it a shot anyways

If you could somehow get this to work I would be SUPER grateful.

A Goldeneye map wouldn't feel like Goldeneye without auto-closing doors...
