How to make a hammer destroy a padlock (or other enteties) - Quotentote - 12-20-2011

hi there.

i got another question.
how do i scritp that hammer-xyz destroys padlock-xyz?

PHP Code:
void OnStart()
{
AddUseItemCallback("", "torturekey", "tortureroom", "unlock_door1", true);
}

void unlock_door1(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
    SetPropHealth("tortureroom", 0.0f);
} 

dont be confused by the names^^ torturekey=hammer tortureroom=padlock Wink

The code you have should already work? Or is it the animation you're looking for? Then you should check out the prison_south.hps Smile

I would try making it inactive and spawn a padlock broken one right on the original padlock. I'm not sure the padlock use's health.

you mean something like that?

PHP Code:
    void VOIDNAME (string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
            {
            SetEntityActive("BROKENPADLOCK",true);
            SetEntityActive("PADLOCK",false);
            RemoveItem("HAMMER");
            }

Here's a tip that can help speed up the process for testing:

When using a profile enabled for development, ScriptDebugOn() returns true. If you check for when it returns true, for example, in OnStart(), you can temporarily set up the game environment to quickly and easily accomplish a task by giving the player items and teleporting the player to a specific area, etc.

thats not the problem.... the problem is the waterlurker....im so afraid of these things that i dont WANT to test it xD i feel so silly by saying this but i dont change anything in my scripts. they work and this should remain so ^^

i also feel silly by creating a new thread everyday, but all of you guys make the start in scripting so much easier.

thank you for that i gonna test the script later this evening
