Secret Passage help

[Death_Link]

Hi all.
I got a problem here. Im makin' a new house to upload 2 the server and i want it to have this secret room. i wan it 2 be a part of the wall and when u say the password it opens then times out for about 5 seconds then swiches back 2 a normal solid wall again.
Im not a very good scripter yet but i tried what i know and i got nowhere.
Could u guys help me out?

NPC Code:

---

if (playerchats&&strequals(#c,open sesame)) {

  hide;        // here we hide the door if the player says "open sesame"

  dontblock;   // this makes it so the passage doesn't block the player even when it's hiding

  timeout = 5;

}

if (timeout) {

  show;        // this will show the door (secret passage blocker) again

  blockagain;  // this will block the passage again.

}

---

Now, if it's for an NPC Server, it's a whole different story, but you could probably get away with putting //#CLIENTSIDE in front of the whole script.

Yeah.Sorry for bugging you Mr.guy I'll delete that post

Anyway Death_Link I could help you with any scripting questions you have as long as they aren't too big.Just PM me or ask me here I guess. (sorry for being a jerk..I'm just hyped up on coca cola)

And thank you for atleast trying yourself.Most people run to the messageboard and post "What's the script for this?"But you said you tried and it didn't work so atleast you're trying to learn.Best of luck to you.

and...if you want the password to be secret so no one can see it,
put in kyle's code, and after the 1st if-clause put in the command setplayerprop #c,;

or you can just begin simple
first to make the door you will need to press alt+2 when the full wall is made then open it in paint or psp and cut out a section of that wall and make it a .gif or whatever format,
then make an npc with coding like

PHP Code:

if (playerenters) {show;}
if (playerchats&&strequals(#c,open)) {
hide;
dontblock;
sleep1;
show;
} 


thats basicly kyle's script except very simple

1 thing though. Where in my files can i find the picture for a house wall north?

[Merlin]

you need to make it
lay it out on the level and take a snap shot of it using alt+2 then open it in psp or paint and cut the section out and save it as gif or png or what not
