thanks for the info slayera....

thanks steve...i agree with you on that (inviso wall)...the only problem is that the switch controls the opening/closing of the door only...i want it to control the lock/unlock part of it....and with 2 parts in the door (open/close & lock/unlock), and the switch only controlling 1 part (open/close) i dont know if it could even be done...

before i go to the trouble of testing a relay switch...how would i tell the game to lock/unlock the doors vs. opening/closing? in the multisource demo...that is just what happens...all it does it open/close the doors...when the door is closed...it is still locked....that is not what i am seeking...rather just a switch that controls the locking function ONLY....the players would control the opening/closing of the doors like normal...

master lock switch 'off' =

players go from room1 to room2 thru door1 w/o problems (door opens/closes UNDER NORMAL PLAYER CONTROL)

master lock switch 'on' =

players go from room1 to room2 thru door1 & get 'locked door sound' at door1 (door is closed AND locked)

and i have considered a 'inviso wall' to do this, but it would be easier (i think) to have a switch...but maybe you cant....????

i tried the multisource prop & it didnt work. i tried that before i posted. what it WILL do is to open & close the doors for me. what i am seeking is a 'switch' that will ONLY LOCK/UNLOCK doors, NOTHING else. the players would be able to use the doors normally till the 'lock' switch is activated & then the doors become locked & behave that way. when 'lock' is activated again, all doors become unlock. nothing else but lock/unlock. as far as the multisource prop, i did look at the example on here, and maybe i didnt 'code' it correctly, as that was the 1st time i have used it....dont know...??? what i am seeing so far from the 2 posts will OPEN/CLOSE doors...not just lock/unlock them....

hi,

i have a hopefully a simple question. i have looked all around on here & elsewhere and cant find the answer. what i am trying to do, is to to 'emulate' i guess what you could call a 'child lock' found on cars.
when the door lock is on, the back doors will not open, when door lock is off, doors operate as if there was no 'door lock'.

when master switch is 'set on', all doors cannot be opened (this i found out how to do). and when player uses door, it is locked.

when master switch is 'set off', all doors operate normally. player can come & go thru the doors w/o problems. (doors NOT staying open, but rather opening/closing as if there was no switch involved).

when switch is on, doors locked, when off, all doors work as if there was no switch, open/close normal.

a 'master lock switch' is what is needed.

so if yall have any ideas on how to do this, i would be a thankin ya!

and if you do, please explain in 'novice' terms, though i used to map for doom/heretic, i am 'new' to half-life.

thanks!
