Lock Number Problem

[Zulk RS]

I was mapping in ZDoom (Doom in UDMF) and I assigned a lock number to a switch. But when I tested the map, the switch can be activated without any keys. Here's a screenshot.



What do I do about this?

How recent is your ZDoom build?

[Zulk RS]

Er... If you mean GZDoom Builder, It's R2676. I tested it with Zandronum 2.1

[Arctangent]

Zandronum 2.1 doesn't support locking arbitrary action specials with keys.

You're going to need to utilize either ACS_LockedExecute or the old vanilla Doom method of putting a switch behind a locked door or barrier.

So... Which Source ports support this function?

[Graf Zahl]

ZDoom, GZDoom and Zandronum 3.x support it. If you map for older Zandronums you have to be careful about newer features, because the code base is quite a few years behind.

Those based on the ZDoom 2.6+ codebase. So it should work in Zandronum 3.0. (Zand 2.x is based on ZDoom 2.5.)
