I have been working with the door.lua.
I am trying to get the door to open with the "E" key and once the player is through the door it closes automatically.
What changes need to made to the file to make this happen?
Thanks in advance.

You must place the door close animation outside of the playerDist<100 and specify "the player is gone through the door".
Something like this:

-- LUA Script - precede every function and global member with lowercase name of script + '_main'
-- Door Prompts 'Closed' can be opened with entity collected specified by 'USE KEY'

-- state to ensure user must release E key before can open/close again
door_pressed = 0

function door_init(e)
end
	 
function door_main(e)
 PlayerDist = GetPlayerDistance(e)
 if (PlayerDist < 100 ) and g_PlayerHealth > 0 then
  GetEntityPlayerVisibility(e)
  if 1 then
   if g_Entity[e]['activated'] == 0 then
    if g_Entity[e]['haskey'] == -1 then
     SetActivated(e,1)
    else
	 if g_Entity[e]['plrvisible'] == 1 then 
      if g_Entity[e]['haskey'] == 1 then 
	   if GetGamePlayerStateXBOX() == 1 then
        Prompt("The door is locked. Press Y button to unlock door")
	   else
        Prompt("The door is locked. Press E key to unlock door")
	   end
       if g_KeyPressE == 1 then 
        SetActivated(e,1)
       end
      else
       Prompt("The door is locked. Find a key to unlock door")
      end
	 end
    end
   else
    if g_Entity[e]['activated'] == 1 then
     -- door is unlocked and closed
     if g_Entity[e]['plrvisible'] == 1 then 
	  if GetGamePlayerStateXBOX() == 1 then
       Prompt("Press Y button to open door")
	  else
       Prompt("Press E to open door")
	  end
      if g_KeyPressE == 1 and g_Entity[e]['animating'] == 0 and door_pressed == 0 then  
	   SetAnimation(0)
	   PlayAnimation(e)
	   g_Entity[e]['animating'] = 1
       SetActivated(e,2)
	   ActivateIfUsed(e)
       PlaySound(e,0)
	   StartTimer(e)
	   g_Entity[e]['timer'] = g_Time
	   door_pressed = 1
	  end
	 end
    end
   end
  end
 end
 	if g_Entity[e]['activated'] == 2 then
	  -- door is open, so close it if the player is 150 away
		if PlayerDist >150 and g_Entity[e]['animating'] == 0 and door_pressed == 0 then
	 	    SetAnimation(1)
		    PlayAnimation(e)
	 	    g_Entity[e]['animating'] = 1
	        SetActivated(e,1)
	        PlaySound(e,1)
	        CollisionOn(e)
		    door_pressed = 1
		end
	end
 if g_Entity[e]['activated'] == 2 then
  -- door collision off after 1 second
  if GetTimer(e)>1000 then
   CollisionOff(e)
  end
 end
 if g_KeyPressE == 0 then 
  door_pressed = 0
 end
end

 if g_Entity[e]['activated'] == 2 then
  -- door collision off after 1 second
  if GetTimer(e)>1000 then
   CollisionOff(e)

  door_pressed = 0
 end
end

This script close the door if the player is 150 units away.

Unfortunately this did not even prompt me to open the door.
If I press the "E" key anyway nothing happens.
I truly have tried to learn scripting but it does seem to be way beyond me.

Did you get an error?
I tested it with different doors and it works for me.

This post has been marked by the post author as the answer.

I renamed the file when I added it to my script bank and that seems to be the issue.
The script works if it is named door.lua.
If I rename the script door_use_open_auto_close.lua it does not work.
Since I cannot have two files with the same name how do I rename the file and have it still work?

Update: I figured it out.
I had to change the following in the script.

From

+ Code Snippet

function door_nit(e)

To

+ Code Snippet

function door_use_open_auto_close_init(e)

From

+ Code Snippet

function door_main(e)

To

+ Code Snippet

function door_use_open_auto_close_main(e)

Now it works with the new name.
Thanks you were a huge help and I truly do appreciate it.

Yup thata lua 101 at the most basic level, you _init and _main have to be named the same as your lua file

Also (as I think you have done) always prefix the lua name of scripts for doors with “door” - this lets the engine AI know it is a door and blocks path for AI NPC s (in theory - haven’t checked this for a while).

Also, i have found, using too many underscores in the name can sometimes cause glitches, as lua uses them as identifiers.
