Okay, well I'm trying to make a script to put on a door that will lock it automatically when you shut it. But it's not working I keep getting the error 'missing EOF at 'if'' :/ If anyone could help me with this I'd be very grateful, thank you.

Here's the script I've tried:

scriptname VaultDoorScriptfloat timershort doWhatBegin GameMode    if ( getlocked )    else        if timer > 0            set timer to timer - getsecondspassed        else            if doWhat == 0                set timer to timer + 1                set doWhat to 1                return            elseif doWhat == 1                lock 100                set doWhat to 0                return            endif        endif    endifEnd

This is not a Papyrus Script. It's a Oblivion (Construction Set) script.

Take a look at the http://www.creationkit.com/OnClose_-_ObjectReference event.

Oh god oops, my bad >.< Okay, well there is another script I have tried that also didn't work and gave me the same error:

Scriptname VaultDoorScript3    Short Open Begin OnActivate   If open != 1    DoorRef.Unlock    DoorRef.Activate    Set Open to 1  Elseif Open == 1    DooRef.Activate    DoorRef.Lock LockLevel    set open to 0  Endif End

Okay I'm looking at the OnClose() event now and I'm gonna right a new script from scratch and see if it works

Damn it just realised that's an oblivion script too, sorry!!

Use this script as a base for your work. Put it on your door.

ScriptName myLockDoorScript extends ObjectReferenceEvent OnClose(ObjectReference akActionRef)	if (akActionRef == Game.GetPlayer())		Debug.Trace("We were closed by the player")		Self.SetLockLevel(25) ;locklevel Apprentice (25)		Self.Lock()	else		Debug.Trace("Someone (or something) else closed us")	endifEndEvent

Thanks!

Okay I tried the script you posted, but set the locklevel to 100 because the door requires a key. But, it didn't work So then I tried this. It's probably completely wrong as I'm terrible at scripting, but hopefully you can help me out with it, or tell me to scrap it if it is complete nonsense.

Scriptname EsbernVaultDoorScript4 extends ObjectReference   Event OnClose(ObjectReference akActionRef)if (akActionRef == Game.GetPlayer())Debug.Trace("We were closed by the player")Function Lock(bool abLock = true, bool abAsOwner = false) nativeMQ202EsbernsDoorREF.SetLockLevel(100) ;locklevel Requires Key (100)MQ202EsbernsDoorREF.Lock()EndifelseDebug.Trace("Someone (or something) else closed us")endifEndEventDoor Property MQ202EsbernsDoorREF  Auto  

Hi,

the SetLockLevel() and Lock() functions are members of the ObjectReference script, not the Door script.

Put my script on the door reference you want to have to be lock.

Or (and that's even better), create a Quest and make an alias for the door. If you decide for the Quest solution, you have to slightly change the script:

Scriptname myDoorAliasScript extends ReferenceAlias Event OnClose(ObjectReference akActionRef)	if (akActionRef == Game.GetPlayer())		Debug.Trace("We were closed by the player")		GetReference().SetLockLevel(100) ;locklevel Requires Key (100)		GetReference().Lock()	else		Debug.Trace("Someone (or something) else closed us")	endifEndEvent

I believe you need lock level 255 to indicate the door requires a key. 100 is just difficult lock level or something like that.

Correct! http://www.creationkit.com/SetLockLevel_-_ObjectReference

One thing more. If you set the lock level to 'requires key', then there must be a key 'assigned' to that door before. Otherwise it's impossible to open that door again. I'm not aware of any function to 'assign' a key to a door via script.
