Hackdoors

FrozenFOXX edited this page Feb 8, 2020 · 1 revision

Hackdoors are the most integral part of Arganium. They guard progression and are unable to be opened by Marines, only by Control. When Control completes Core challenges they will be able to open the Hackdoors, clearing the way for Marines to complete levels.

Level Editing

Hackdoors rely on having appropriately themed doors that lock progression to new Areas of the map. The style may be unique for every map but for players' sanity should all look identical and unique to everything else in the level. Hackdoors are Doors but should not respond to any player input (use, shoot, or otherwise interact with).

Tags

Hackdoors must be tagged with an appropriate sector tag. Every Hackdoor must have a unique tag from 1-9 in ascending order depending on how many you have (a good rule of thumb is three). These first 1-9 sector tags must NOT be used elsewhere in the map.

Script Control

To control opening Hackdoors you'll use the "Arganium OpenHackdoor" script. It takes one variable:

  • Hackdoor: tag number of the Hackdoor to open.

Usage Examples

pukename "Arganium OpenHackdoor" 1

This opens the first Hackdoor tagged with sector tag 1.

pukename "Arganium OpenHackdoor" 9

This opens the ninth Hackdoor tagged with sector tag 9.
