switches & levers controlling doors

[blackdragonsdg]

The lifts and such in Vergalid mines behave in an erratic manor and I am sorry to say I never found a good fix for them. I did hold onto some of the work I did before.

All the following applies to the very first lift you encounter in the zone. Assuming the door id's haven't changed this should still work.

player.pl

sub EVENT_CLICKDOOR
{
	my $doorstate = quest::isdooropen(38);

	if($doorid == 41 && !$doorstate)
	{
		quest::forcedooropen(38);
		quest::forcedooropen(39);
		quest::forcedooropen(40);
	}
	if($doorid == 41 && $doorstate)
	{
		quest::forcedoorclose(38);
		quest::forcedoorclose(39);
		quest::forcedoorclose(40);
	}
	if($doorid == 42 && !$doorstate)
	{
		quest::forcedooropen(38);
		quest::forcedooropen(39);
		quest::forcedooropen(40);
	}
	if($doorid == 42 && $doorstate)
	{
		quest::forcedoorclose(38);
		quest::forcedoorclose(39);
		quest::forcedoorclose(40);
	}
}

required changes for player.pl to work

update doors set triggerdoor = 0 where doorid = 38 and name = 'OBJ_ELEVPLAT';
update doors set triggerdoor = 0 where doorid = 39 and name = 'OBJ_ELEVROPE';
update doors set triggerdoor = 0, opentype = 58 where doorid = 41 and name = 'OBJ_ELEVSWLEVER';
update doors set triggerdoor = 0, opentype = 58 where doorid = 42 and name = 'OBJ_ELEVSWLEVER';

The above changes should cause the lift, ropes and levers to work with each other.
If I remember correctly it was also possible to control the lifts, ropes and levers without the need for a script which is what I believe the following changes will do.

update doors set triggerdoor = 39 where doorid = 38 and name = 'OBJ_ELEVPLAT';
update doors set triggerdoor = 40 where doorid = 39 and name = 'OBJ_ELEVROPE';
update doors set triggerdoor = 38 where doorid = 41 and name = 'OBJ_ELEVSWLEVER';
update doors set triggerdoor = 0 where doorid = 42 and name = 'OBJ_ELEVSWLEVER';

The suggested change to Doors::ForceClose() is probably correct and it did improve function a bit but I think some of the lifts and such may require additional code support to make them function correctly.

The bounce effect as you put it is the same erratic behavior I saw when messing with the lifts. If that bounce effect can be removed then the rest should be pretty easy to figure out.
