void OnStart()
{
AddUseItemCallback("", "key_1", "monsterdoor_1", "UsedKeyOnDoor", true);
SetEntityCallbackFunc("key_1", "OnPickup");
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Scriptarea_1", "func_bam", true, 1);
AddUseItemCallback("", "rust_1", "prisondoor_1", "UsedKeyOnDoor", true);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "PlayerCollide", "MonsterFunction", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "banish", "BanishFunction", true, 1);
}
void UsedKeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked("monsterdoor_1", false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door.snt", "monsterdoor_1", 0, false);
RemoveItem("key_1");
}
void OnPickup(string &in asEntity, string &in type)
{
SetEntityActive("servant_grunt_1", true);
ShowEnemyPlayerPosition("servant_grunt_1");
SetSwingDoorLocked("prisondoor_1", false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door.snt", "prisondoor_1", 0, false);
}
void func_bam(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetSwingDoorClosed("monsterdoor_1", true, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "react_breath_slow.snt", "Player", 0, false);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "react_scare", "Player", 0, false);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "close_door.snt", "Player", 0, false);
GiveSanityDamage(5.0f, true);
}
void MonsterFunction(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("servant_grunt_2", true);
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_2", "PathNodeArea_1", 2, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_2", "PathNodeArea_2", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_2", "PathNodeArea_3", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_2", "PathNodeArea_4", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_2", "PathNodeArea_5", 0, "");
}
void BanishFunction(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEnemyDisabled("servant_grunt_2", true);
SetEntityActive("servant_grunt_2", false);
}

It doesn't unlock when you use the key, it unlocks when you pick up the key.

Well, this is what you did that makes picking up the key unlock the prisondoor:
You set a callback to "key_1" with SetEntityCallbackFunc in OnStart; the callback being OnPickup. SetEntityCallbackFunc calls the callback when interacting with the item specified. Therefore upon interacting with the key, in this case picking up the key, the callback, OnPickup, gets called.
If we look inside the OnPickup function, we see SetSwingDoorLocked("prisondoor_1", false, true). You passed in false for the second argument. This tells the game to unlock the door called "prisondoor_1". So, all the player has to do is interact with "key_1" in order to unlock the door "prisondoor_1".
The only way to correct your code is for you to understand what you are telling the game to do. This requires understanding of every function you are making use of, starting with OnStart. You can read the descriptions of most of the other functions used here: http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/amnesia/script_functions That should at least provide you with basic understanding of their use.
