Doors and keys

[Kish]

There's no way to make one door take more than one key, is there? That is, open if the party has misc4s.itm or if the party has misc5s.itm?

 

Is there a way by script to change which key a door will take (that is, make it take Key 1 until something happens, and then ignore Key 1 and instead take Key 2)?

One solution could be to script the opening and closing of the door via the appropriate area script, depending on which key the party has. I don't have code ready, unfortunately.

Instead of assigning a key to the door in the .are file, assign a trap script instead and handle the key behavior via that.

It's an existing door, not a new area I'm creating.

In that case, no - a door can only take one key. You can patch the area to change the key, but it can still only take one, unfortunately.

You can script a door, or a trigger region, regardless of whether it's in an existing or new area. If it's an existing area, you would use WeiDU code to patch your script onto that door (and remove the key reference if there is one). For the script, there are several examples of variable key behavior in the vanilla game, e.g. itfpeda.bcs, panel411.bcs etc.

Thanks.
