doors with two switches...

Post by Max-Violence »

I remember running into this problem before when I was making DDch5 (and, possibly, other times as well) but I never found a solution.

The situation is this: I've got a spiffy gate that requires use of a switch to open/close. Well, since this spiffy gate is the main gate into the compound, it would make sense to have two switches -- one on either side of the gate.

The problem is this: Whenever one but not both switches are "on," the gate spasms closed then opened then closed then opened over and over and over.

The solutions I've tried are: Adding an additional Condition to the Open triggers to make sure it only opens if the other switch is off; setting the other switch to on when the first switch is on, adding another Condition to check to see if the gate is already open (I really, really thought that would work), and last but not least, adding a variable to the effect of "if its open, set open to true; if its closed, set open to false" and conditions to check if the variable is true or false.

Have the door and both switches all with the same tagname. Set the door to auto open/close. Have one preserved trigger condition always, action lock door.
