Hi all, seasoned DBP/AGK user here, brand new to GG...

I have tried and failed to create a simple door+key combination.

I have a door and a key.
I can make the door not open , but even putting the key in the "unlocks with" slot in the properties editor, either the door always unlocks regardless, or it never unlocks (i removed the lua script).

I also tried setting that door to "not spawn at start" , and replacing it with a static door , but then you can never get thru, the unlocking door doesn't spawn.

So what is the correct step-by-step process to create a door / key system?

Thanks,
Bob

I just tried it, put down a door (has door.lua script) and typed 'Key' into the 'Use Key' parameter field, placed down a key (helpfully called 'Key') and it all worked fine.

maybe it has to do with the order in which things are placed into the world, i will try it.
[edit]
ok, i have eventually gotten this to work.

(1) Click on the door and then click "properties"... (2) click on the section labeled "Use Key" in the properties menu on the left... (3) in the "Use Key" section type Key1... (4) At the lower left click "Apply Changes". (5) Then click on the key entity and click properties, (6) then at the top labeled "Name" in the properties menu, type Key1. Also make sure the door isn't static by going to the section labeled "Static" and set it to "No"... Also make sure the section labeled "Main" is set to the script "door.lua"...

I think this should work...

I had problems with this also, when I first started using GG...

I hope this helps.

Lets make it easier .... " Anything can be a key "

Put an axe on the floor ( press Y to make it active ...Green )
Add " key.lua " to it .. and make sure you name it AXE

Select Properties on the door and type AXE in the "use key " field
That's it ... now the axe becomes a key ...

Use the key in the same way .... but objects make this less confusing to explain
