Jailbreak Cell Door

Garry's Mod coding
#1

I’ve been trying to work out how to make a command that allows the user to open cell doors. The problem I am having is that everything I have tried so far, it opens every door in the map!

Can anyone help please?

#2

Post what you’ve tried.

#3 

for k,v in ipairs(ents.FindByClass("func_door")) do
   v:Fire("Open",1)
end
#4

You’ve got to filter them in some sort of way, because obviously that will open them all.
Also, please wrap the code next time in

How would I filter the cell doors?

#6

You’d check if the player using the command has met certain criteria.

#7

Normally, this kinds of maps have got different names for their doors and such, as for example, normally the doors would be something like: cell_door1, cell_door2, etc etc.
But, thats map specific normally, so you should take a look by either decompiling the map and taking a look to them by hammer or either in-game with custom commands that’d print the doors name on the console.
Either that, or using entity map creation ids.

#8

You can try to open the door entities which in a radius, starting from prisoner’s spawn entity.

#9

If the map has a dedicated button to open cells, you can just Fire(“Use”) on GetMapCreatedEntity(int). Thats what I did when I did JB.

#10

You can always try creating a concommand that tells you the class of the entity (just another option, and a easier way of finding the entity class)
And thats how you run the button on what

said…


concommand.Add( "entityclass", function( ply, cmd, args )
     print( tostring(ply:GetEyeTrace().Entity:GetClass()) )
     -- for running on all entites of the entity your looking at with the same class
     for k,v in pairs(ents.FindByClass(tostring(ply:GetEyeTrace().Entity:GetClass())) ) do
         v:Fire("Use",1)
         v:Fire("Open",1)
         -- etc
     end  
end )
