Best way to implement secret door
« on: September 13, 2012, 05:11:40 pm »


               Hi there the title almost says it '<img'> how would you implement secret doors/traps in a large world?

Is bioware standard method ineffective? Should I use triggers instead? I didn't search the vault so if anyone knows of a good set of scripts and can point me in the right direction...
Thanks in advance for your answers as always '<img'>

               yes the bioware way is using heartbeats which is quite ineffective in a PW

trigger is a good way to do this, however its mostly harder to set up as it requires more than trigger to make it work (at least extra waypoint)

I have such script working on the trigger, so if noones comes with something from vault, I ll clean the code (currently im using this in conjuction with nwnx - getfirst/next area and module load script which isnt really global way to do that) and send it

               Axe's KSO works well for me:

I'm not making a PW, but this looks like it would work. It's trigger based and by default found things go back to hidden after a few seconds. Well documented and it just dropped in and worked.

Cheers,

               Yepers.  Axe is probably the most powerful and best documented.
