Locking and unlocking doors via AI, a few tips.

Create a package or select an existing package as shown in the screenshot.

In this case the door will be locked when the package starts (sleeping) and unlocked when the package ends.

Three important conditions.

1 Set ownership for the door to the NPC with the package.

2 If you lock the door, lock the door from the inside of the interior (don't lock the exterior door).

3 Link the door from the inside of the interior to the exterior (some of our models require that).

4 Make sure the NPC is inside the interior when locking/unlocking the door.

Otherwise the package (locking/ unlocking) will not work!


If you select "Needs a key" for the level, the lock can't be picked, if you select "hard" it will possible to pick the lock (even when you assigned a key to the door).
