my question is, how can i open the door?

i tried to call a function, but i got a compiler error.

--thanks dan

entity* door_entry;
entity* player;

function open_entry_door() {

door_entry = ptr_for_name("door_enter_hall");
player = ptr_for_name("player1");

if (player.flag1 == 1) {
//open door
door_entry.slidedoor_event_z; //this function causes the compiler error
}

else {...}

}

Check out the tutorial for the Monday Session called Doors and Keys

thanks,

but i dont want to open the door by a scan...
i have a keycard lock at the door. this is where this function belongs to.
i want to open the, when i have the right keycard. therefore i need a function call..

can someone help me with that?

Yes, the second part of that tutorial, Keys explains how to check on a scan.

If you have to call it directly then set my to the proper entity and call the function, or pass the entity to the function. The function or action that an entiy runs in not attached to or part of the entity it is a global function.

For instance in your example something like this might work.

code:

---

  
entity* door_entry;
entity* player;

function open_entry_door() 
{
  door_entry = ptr_for_name("door_enter_hall");
  player     = ptr_for_name("player1");

  if (player.flag1 == 1) 
  { 
     slidedoor_event_z(door_entry); //open door

  }
}


}
