I edited the autodoors for my arena game. I don't want doors to open when I am on the layer above them and they still open.

So I saved a custom script, with anywithin and anyfurther set to 40.

The doors work but now many entities are gone. They are still in the editor but not in the game anymore. Crates, ladders and so on.

Any solution?

PS This is horrible! I`ve been working on this map for around 60 hours. Now it doesn`t work anymore. I have some backups...and only have to redo a bit. But without those backups I`d really be f..... up.



coming soon...

Okay, don't do what you did to the script. On the line that checks the player's dist from the door add this condition.



Believe it or not, the door and any other entity, CAN see the player. Non-character type entities are simply hard-coded (by default anyway) with a 360 degree viewcone angle. This means it is looking in ALL directions for the player, and it will NOT see the player through walls, ceilings, floors, etc.

I used THAT specific command because since you're making a multiplayer game, I'm assuming no AI will be wanting to use the door, lol.

Hope that works for you, cuz it works wonders for me.

This seems to be a very annoying bug. It occurs when you are in multiplayer mode, want to change an entity and therefore switch to single player mode.

The first time I changed the doorscript, autodoor.fpi to custom_autodoor.fpi (self-created). As soon as this was done all dynamic entities were gone. YES, all entities are static in multiplayer but although they are labelled as static they are not there anymore, in the game. Only in the editor.

This happened when editing a charater, too.
In multiplayer one player should play as a nurse. The nurse is slower than others. I switched from multiplayer to single player, changed the nurse's speed from 80 to 100. Applied the changes. Switched back to multiplayer, loaded my level and bang! Entities gone.

There's no way to restore them...you have to load a backup you hopefully created.
