Problem with a door and a lever.

LGS also did this using the (http://thiefmissions.com/telliamed/scripts2.html#doortranslator) DoorTranslator and (http://thiefmissions.com/telliamed/scripts2.html#trapdoorlock) TrapDoorLock scripts from miss7.osm, which I used in DP2 as I recall.

The lever should only open/close the door, not unlock it, according to the documentation. But it does seem that you have it handled to your satisfaction.

Larry, of course you were right. :o I wrote 'unlocked', but I meant 'open'. In fact the door remains locked, even if I can open it with the lever.
I was a little confused because of finally having the thing working. :)

I've read abput that script, but for some reason I had the impression that using tha OM scripts was somewhat 'dangerous', I don't know why. They are not so much used in FMs. Am I wrong?

There's nothing dangerous about them, it's just that the mission-specific scripts don't tend to be as useful as those in gen.osm or our custom modules like NVScript and tnhScript, since they were designed by LGS to serve quite specific purposes and sometimes have hardcoded values and such.
