can anyone explain how to make a door be locked and can only be opened through a password.... like:

________
| 1 | 2 | 3 | for example... you have to press e (use) on 2
| 4 | 5 | 6 | then 0 then 1 to open the locked door
| 7 | 8 | 9 | and this chart will be next to the door
| # | 0 | * |
|_________| ive never tried it b4 and if anyone could help 
me from spending time figuring it out that
would be cool

It's insanely complicated. Use multimanagers, multisources, every logic entity in the book - or give up.

A tutorial's been posted once awhile ago, search the forums.

Didn't PTS do something like that??
I know there is a code sequence tut over at RUST, but if you are thinking of the code sequence out of Issues, then I am pretty sure that was Spirit driven.

Web search...

there's a pretty easy way to set up a coded lock where only certain numbers must be pushed to unlock it. the downside is that they could be pushed in any order. but without the player knowing how many and which buttons to press, it should still function pretty well as a lock. will that work for you?

simple as anon says. but as he also said, you could push them in any order.if you were to have, lets say, 9 buttons, and three open the door, you make the other 6 buttons without targets. You then tie the three keys that you want to open the door to the multisource, and once their all pushed, the door opens. Look at atom's multisource tut

actually thats not quite what i'm saying. with the way viper described, all you need to do is push all 9 buttons in any order to open the door. what i'm talking about is a system where you must push all the correct buttons, but if you push any of the wrong buttons, the door will remain locked.

let me know if what i described above will work, and if so, i'll give you the setup.

it does, not directly "func_keypad" or anything... but it does have a lot of entity features that cut out a lot of the entitywork.

garg, did i read your map comment right? can the player open the door by going around trying to push each button til the door opens?

i put a quick and easy 9 button example map up where the door will only open if all of the correct buttons, but none of the incorrect buttons have been pushed. its not as secure of a setup as den came up with (if he expanded it to 9 buttons), but with the player not knowing how many and which of the 9 buttons to push, it's virtually impossible to open the door without the code.

check it out.

accually i kind of worded it badly. the simplicity of it is that to open the door the 9 key has to be pressed. but you cant press it until the key before it has been pressed, and that can't be presses until the key before it has been pressed. it accually works well if you tried accually playing it

erm, so if someone didnt know your code, can the door be opened by just pushing each button one after the other until it unlocks? ex. if i keep trying to push buttons 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, (in that order) will the door open?

oh, and supermario (if you're still around), you should make your keypad buttons shootable since its hard to push the exact button you want when they're all bunched up.
