Help with magnetic keys

Archive: 8 posts


I want to create a 3-piece item that you piece together like a jigsaw using the jetpack (similar to the ice cream in Uncle Fritz's Funhouse level by thekillermiller). When all 3 pieces are in place, I want a door to open, but also the camera to zoom in on the item and to trigger a mouth. How is this done? (can it be done?)

I can figure out how to get them to open a door (using magnetic keys), but can't figure how to activate the mouth when all 3 pieces are in place. Any assistance you can offer this new level creator would be most appreciated.

Well if you made an AND construction (meaning the door only opens when all keys ar in place) than you would wire the wire going to the door simply to the magic mouth. Make sure to set the cut-scene camera on.

If you don't know what I'm talking about please post a description on how you trigger the door.

Sorry Wyth, I didn't explain myself very well in the original post. I have a door consisting of 3 pistons, and a magnetic key on each part of the assembled item which activate a piston each, therefore the door opens in 3 stages rather than all at once. However, I am very interested in learning how to construct an AND switch, are there any resources/tutorials available on the subject? Many thanks.

EDIT: Cancel that, I think I found what I was looking for here:

I have something that is exactly like this in my level. PSN search:@dkjestrup

The level is: The forgotten relics of the sack...

Don't mean to give a shameless plug, but it has a three piece puzzle, and an awesome hint system!

For my jugsaw puzzle on Temple of elements I used an AND gate... you could probably do a hidden (out of View) material with a camera zone and Magic Mouth attached, and have it be emmited when the and switch is complete.. may need to have the and switch trigger another switch or two to get the door open (directional I assume) and the emmiter working (on./off probably)

you can check my level out if you want (do part 1, its alot easier) umm hope it helps. If you got any questions PM me.

For an and switch, have a square of dark matter in the sky, and cut out the middle.

Put three pistons in it, each on with a magnetic key. On the top of the square, have a magnetic switch, and make sure all three keys are in range when the pistons are fully extended. Just make each piece of the puzzle trigger a piston, so when the are all retracted, the magnetic switch activates the door and mouth.
