Locked Doors and Containers

Object Configuration

In order to lock a door or container, there are two properties under the objects 'Item' sub-category that need to be addressed (shown in bold):

Item
...
Items
Key	<key name>
LevelOverride
LevelOverrideCurrent
LockLevel	<level>
...

Key: The name of the key that can unlock this door or container. This field must be given a value even if you never plan to create such a key in game. Otherwise, the object will not be locked.

LockLevel: The level of thievery required to pick the lock if the player is without the above named key.

Examples

1. A simple, locked door that requires thievery level 2 to unlock

   Property	Value
   Key	key_null
   LockLevel	2

   • key_null is never created in the game and does not exist


2. A locked door that can only be opened with a specific key named 'key_master'

   Property	Value
   Key	key_master
   LockLevel	100

   • By setting the lock level to 100, it is impossible to get thievery high enough to unlock it without possession of 'key_master'
   • There would need to be a key created somewhere in the game with the name 'key_master' to open the door (apart from scripting).


3. A locked door that can be opened with a specific key named 'key_owner' OR thievery level 3

   Property	Value
   Key	key_owner
   LockLevel	3
