Unlock Shop Doors

Vaskulis · January 29, 2017

Hello there,

I have a problem with the doors of shops being closed when I spawn my callout stuff in there. When there's been a robbery, or what the game thinks is a robbery, the doors get locked for a while once you leave the area and that means no callout stuff can come through those doors. It follows that I can't spawn the same callout twice at the same location.
What I would love to know is how to make sure the doors are unlocked when I need them to be. Much like they are in @Albo1125's robbery callout.

Any ideas are appreciated!

I assume that you said, your own callouts -- so you create your own callouts. You have the ability to make those doors stay open! Code it in. Find scripts here or on GTA5-mods.com and yeah!

No offense, but you are not very helpful. If I knew how to "code it in", I wouldn't need to ask here...

Back to topic: I found and played around with the native SET_STATE_OF_CLOSEST_DOOR_OF_TYPE but it seems to be very unreliable, only doing what it's supposed to in about 20% of cases, or am I just using it wrong and don't see the pattern? Anyone have experience with it?

Haha, I know! I wasn't really trying to be helpful until you came up with an answer!

On the other side, I wouldn't use SET_STATE_OF_CLOSEST_DOOR_OF_TYPE

I would use it as a function

I.e. Function.IsPedArrested(ped);

I couldn't pull up exactly what you wanted since my Visual Studios is running with other things right now.

Here is great documentation and you should be able to do what ever you want as long as you have the

using Rage;

as a reference and the actual reference added.

PM for more help. If needed.

I appreciate what you are trying to do, but I believe you misunderstand me. I'm a little more advanced than you think (and of course I know how to read and search the RPH doc and NativeDB). I just need help with one very particular problem, which I know has been solved before, so I'm asking on this forum.

Okay, so just in case anyone is interested:

SET_STATE_OF_CLOSEST_DOOR_OF_TYPE has a very low margin of error for the positions. You need to use coordinates that are basically at the exact position of the door's loose end when it's closed. So, of course when I called it with the LPC's position, it only worked when I was standing right in the doorway.

Also: You can use the door model's hash for the doorType parameter, which is nice.

I have a vague memory of there also being something like GET_CLOSEST_DOOR_OF_TYPE or something similar that you could use to get the coord of the nearest door, then set its state. Worth doing some searching over on gtaforums.com as I know I've seen stuff there about it a while ago.

There is, but it also needs coordinates so I reckon it's a bit pointless. Maybe it allows for the coordinates to be a bit farther away, but my method is working now. Just requires me to collect another set of coordinates per callout location.
And the NativeDB comments on SET_CLOSEST_DOOR_OF_TYPE make you think that the doorType was some special kind of hash hidden in some file somewhere, but it also works with the model hashes.

Maybe you could use World.GetAllObjects, and iterate to find the nearest that's a door, then pass that to the appropriate native.

Huh, I guess that could work. I could even pass a list of all the doors that any shop could have and make it open the closest two it finds, so I wouldn't even need to know which exact model of door(s) each shop has.
