RELEASED Automatic Doors 3.9

I have no problem with you using my version... after all I started with your version. Forking doesn't make much sense when your mod is already established. People already know it and will get the update alert so I think that's the better path for everyone. Plus I also make all my mods open/free use. I'm big on that. I wouldn't use assets that would prevent me from leaving them all open permissions.

I'd recommend to use the one I posted later which covers vehicles too. Crashing into doors isn't fun after all!

Oh and that snipped of code I posted, I didn't select the comments up top. You might as well throw those back in before publishing the update. Since I was just helping the person get the mod working rather than actually publishing it, I wasn't too concerned over comments. But you are attributing help from Healthire so I don't want you to leave that out by accident. Common courtesy and all.

 

very well, I will do so

once the steam workshop is online, I could as well add you as a mod author, so you could make ongoing changes to the mod should you so wish

 

Sure. I've never published a mod on Steam so I'm not sure how that works. I'm sure I can figure it out, but as of this moment I have no idea. So I didn't know you could add multiple authorized people. Cool.

 

no problem, once it is online I should be able to invite you, I might send you a pm over the forum here then

 

Hey, do you think you could upload it to the workshop?

 

Might sound stupid but this doesnt open wired doors right? Like if I had a locked wired door! Like say wired to a light.

Are you planing on adding this to the workshop

 

...Look up two posts.

 

Link is broken

 

Ye, sorry, this one: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=729599895

should now finally work. Took quite a while to figure out the steam uploading tool and the new metadata file -.-

 

Np thanks very much

 

Oh, and yes, as soon as the door is wired it looses the automatic functionality

any chance of making a 'touch' version of the door? (basically setting it to a distance of, like. 0.2 or something.)
where in the lua file can i edit it to accomplish to that?

edit: also, will this work on trapdoors?

For the "touch version", the door opens already so early because otherwise your character would bump into it. The values were chosen experimentally so you can smoothly walk through the doors without stopping. Though should you want to change that you can do that in the line 61

Code:

  storage.queryRadius = 5

This value determines how far the door "scans" for players, so the smaller it is the later it will open.
You will also have to change line 76

Code:

  storage.doorPosition[2] = storage.doorPosition[2] + 2.5

Use half the value of your new radius instead of the 2.5. No need to worry about doorPosition[1], this is only to offset the y axis.
As long as you don't use a mod that uses horizontal doors or the "lunarbasedoor", that is all you need to change, otherwise you will find the rest in the same function.

Regarding the trapdoors, so far it is not implemented as all the trapdoors I know of are hidden which should stay that way or used in Missions which would break the Mission flow. If you still want functionality for them, your can delete the block at line 372

Code:

  if objectName == "castlehiddentrapdoor" or objectName == "castlehiddendoor" or objectName == "templehiddentrapdoor" or
  objectName == "pilch_horizdoor" or objectName == "dirttrapdoor" then
  theAnswer = true
   end

 

If by chance the door has a second input and that was wired, it will still be automatic + open with wire input. Essentially that's normal mode + wired opening. I don't know any vanilla doors that have this however. It's one of the things I did.

edit: had an idea

Now an extra node COULD be added to the vanilla doors by adding in patch files for those objects. It wouldn't be hard to do. That would increase the scope of the mod... perhaps unnecessarily. And possibly that could confuse people anyhow.

But it gives people an alternative way to use their doors. node 0 keeps the doors closed and you can't open the doors by interaction either. Node 1 just add another way to open them. One use is having multiple doors open when only one door gets activated. Support for this is already in the code, they just need another node to use.

What do you think?

Also while patching(if you decide to)

Code:

{
   "op": "add",
   "path": "/noAutomaticDoors",
   "value": true
  }

could be patched to the trapdoors as an alternative. But that's not strictly necessary as you've fixed the trapdoors already with a different method.

Note to any mod authors that don't wish some of their doors to be automatic when this mod is used, add

Code:

"noAutomaticDoors" : true

to your object files. If you do this, it isn't necessary to have this mod updated to add more exceptions. That seems better for everybody.

Apparently screwing up the trapdoors is another thing I did

I hadn't noticed. Or rather I hadn't played with the trapdoors at all. My bad.

 

I noticed the doors got removed from the workshop?

You can add support for it as long as it is tested, but I'd rather see things like these as a standalone mod. I'd wish to keep the mode strictly focused on one feature (that being automatic doors).

 

I realized shortly after posting that this would be better as a separate mod. It is probably too fringe a feature. Not everyone would like prefer this so it is better as a separate mod. Honestly not high on my list of priorities anyhow.

 

trapdoors DO work, i tested it earlier ^^ the only difference (and i absolutely love this difference) is that they only open from below, not from above
wondering if it was unintentional on your part lol
