help to make advanced locks

[psychochild]

Hi there,
I'm trying to make an advanced lock picking system.
It should work like this

there are 4 different lock sounds
for each sound a different key should be pressed

for example
sound1 --> press Up
sound2 --> press Down
ecc...

so when you start you insert the picklock and you hear the first sound and you mst press the relative key.
If the key is right you hear the next sound and so on
If it's not right you must start again

That's what i tried to do , i know it's stupid and full of mstakes but i just discovered this command and i don't know how it works :s

Doing like this the event stops after playing the first sound.
In the following event page there is the opened chest with self switch A

Can you help me please?

I'm working on it ^_^

Done. Unencrypted and fully commented.

A warning though: especially if you're going to use more than 4 sounds, it's insanely hard to open chests without using up a couple thousand gold on lockpicks. I had to try a bunch of times myself until I opened my first one. Used over well over 10 lockpicks I think. It's quite simple and addictive though.

the problem wih what you did, is the conditional actally says:
IF Down AND Up And Left AND Right are continuously pressed, and in that order, THEN turn self switch A on.

Haven't tried Heavens solution yet, but he probably did it right, so I wont bother explaining how ot do it

Thanks everyone you really helped me a lot. i've chosen hevendor's one because it is perfect as i imagined it.
For the problem about opening chests in game , there will be a man on the thieves guild who will explain to the player the lock sounds and the relative keys to press.
I will not use more than 4 sounds ,there will be 10 lock levels + a magic lock level and the relative lockpicks for each one , every lock level will have his number of moves to do (ex lvl 6 = 6 moves to open etc)


Thanks everyone for help
I hope this could be useful to your games too

You'll need to edit my system quite a bit for that, just PM me if you need help.

And yes, it will be useful to my game(s). I never thought something so simple as a guessing game could be so fun. =D

Glad you liked it.

I quite like this system too. Mind if I use it? Much better than stupid oblivion. I hate that system.

I'm making an upgraded version with easier editing at the moment, but you can use it, sure.

Now each individual lockpick in your inventory has 3 uses before breaking. Check the auto-run for instructions.
