| Summary | 0005473: Defs contain wrong info about lockpicks, affecting DR help | ||||
| Description | The following 2 lines (which are identical) are incorrect in TDM .def files as distributed: tdm_defs01\def\ tdm_locks.def, line 15 tdm_mover_base.def, line 54 In both cases, the wrong information is provided to DR's help system, namely: "editor_var lock_picktype" "This is a sequence of characters defining the lockpick types which need to be used on this mover. For instance, 'bs' means that the player must use the 'bent' lockpick ('b') and the 'snake' lockpick ('s') - in this order - to pick this lock." The correct information should be: "editor_var lock_picktype" "This is a sequence of characters defining the lockpick types which need to be used on this mover. For instance, 'ts' means that the player must use the 'triangle' lockpick ('t') and the 'snake' lockpick ('s') - in this order - to pick this lock." If space allows in the DR help pane, the following sentence could also be appended: "It's also possible to define a star '*', which matches all lockpick types." (I am not asserting that this is true, merely that the wiki says so.) | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | In DR, instantiate any locked chest, open the entity viewer, and select the spawnarg "lock_picktype". The incorrect info is shown in the help pane. | ||||
| Additional Information | This was first reported to a forum by stumpy in 2017 https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/18687-a-z-beginner-guide-improvement-dmap-part/page/2/&tab=comments#comment-403490 I have just now corrected the corresponding wrong entry in the wiki page "CBinaryFrobMover", under the Spawnargs section: lock_picktype (string) This is a sequence of characters defining the lockpick types which need to be used on this door. For instance, 'bs' means that the player must use the "bent" lockpick ('b') and the "snake" lockpick ('s') - in this order - to pick this lock. It's also possible to define a star "*", which matches all lockpick types. | ||||
