func_door

[Hyper Iguana]

I know we've had a thread about this a little but ago, but we never got a good solution, so I'll try to clear things up as I'm having the same problem.

I have a map with func_door entities in it (entities are put in by the map creator in SDK) and I want them not to activate when they are touched.

This has not worked for me :

[lua]
local EntitySTouch = _R.Entity.StartTouch
local EntityTouch = _R.Entity.Touch

function _R.Entity:StartTouch()
return (self:GetClass() != "func_door" and EntitySTouch(self)) or true
end

function _R.Entity:Touch()
return (self:GetClass() != "func_door" and EntityTouch(self)) or true
end
[/lua]

Here, I confirm it is a func_door, first getting my looking ent while looking at the world, then when looking at the func_door entity:

Does anyone have any ideas?

So you want to lock the door? Or do you just not want it to be responsive at all?

Does touch just refer to something literally touching the entity, or using it? I mean, I've never seen doors responding to an entity merely touching them which is why this is confusing me.

I want to do this:

[lua]
hook.Add("InitPostEntity", "platformlock", function()
for _,v in pairs(ents.FindByClass("func_door")) do
v:Fire("lock", "")
end
end)
[/lua]

Except I want to override the Touch functions.

Also, I think Touch refers to when a player Collides with an ENT in forms of collision or standing on it.

try this.
put this function in a lua file name it denyfuncdoor.lua or something.
and put it in lua/autorun i think.

[lua]
function KeyPressedUse (ply, key)
if key == IN_USE then
local t = {}
t.start = ply:GetPos()
t.endpos = ply:GetShootPos() + ply:GetAimVector() * 100
t.filter = ply
local trace = util.TraceLine(t)
if trace.Entity and trace.Entity:IsValid() and (trace.Entity:GetClass() == "func_door" ) then
trace.Entity:Fire("lock")
end
end
end
hook.Add( "KeyPress", "KeyPressedUse", KeyPressedUse )
[/lua]
