how to: detect failed attemp to open a door

[Legacy_Calgacus]

               Hi, I tried OnFailtoOpen event but it doens't fire, I guess it only fires when the player attempts to use Open Lock skill on a  locked object.
So, How do I detect when the player fails to open a door thats locked without trying to use the open lock skil.
Thanks

PS: Maybe a custom trap script?  it fires every time someone attepts to open the door - but I want the behavior only when the door fails to open - I guess I could but  another variable on the door..

PPS: But would that force an innapropriate trap message to display?

               You do use the "OnFailToOpen" event. How are you scripting it? Are you using GetClickingObject(); to define the player?

               No luck,  seems the code just does not run as I get no end turn message, here the OnFailToOpen script:


#include "laby_vars"
#include "laby_turn_funcs"


void main(){
   oPC = GetPlaceableLastClickedBy();
   oArea = GetArea(oPC);
   FloatingTextStringOnCreature("Your turn is over.", oPC, FALSE);
   endTurn();
   SoundObjectPlay(GetObjectByTag(GetLocalString(oArea, snd_HITWALL)));
   DragonsTurn();
}

Your  problem is you are useing the placable functions for the door events. A door is not a placeable.

try useing:

object oPC = GetClickingObject();
