Crowbar won't work on door! help

I think you probably should try adding and testing lines of code one after another... So when it fucks up you know exactly where. If it fails, juste copy/paste the code about crowbar in the wiki http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/tut...iferorange .

Don't let the code spoil the fun of making Custom Stories, it would be sad. What's your CS again btw ?
So I can take a look at... "best custom story ever" XD

actually no joke, it was going to be the best custom story ever, i put a lot of work into it but I already deleted it, even where I posted on the website :/ because of the stupid code that doesn't work

Hopefully Frictional Games won't have any scripting issues during the development of SOMA or I'm afraid they will have to delete their website, drop their projects and let their name fall into oblivion : p.

Whatever, best of luck in what you'll be doing next : ).

yeah, you know how many times I had to do it from scratch, I checked so many times and it still doesn't work! it made me so angry that I even deleted my amnesia.exe Sad

for real, but then I installed it again Big Grin

Well, coding isn't magic: if it doesn't work you are doing something wrong and if you can't find what it is, then you are probably trying to solve your problem the wrong way.
That's what I hate and love about scripting. When it doesn't work I know I'm the only one who did a mistake which is great, but I also know that as long as I do not understand it I won't be able to do anything x).

Just because one script doesn't work you cancel it? Don't do that man! Replace it or make a placeholder until you got a working script. If you make another CS with this kind of attitude, another code failure will result in cancellation. And over and over.

And who said "Best custom story ever" and "It looks amazing"?
