Doors are welded shut, apparently...

The doors won't open! It never calls the open() proc...what am I doing wrong?

Player bumps door
    Bump(atom/O) 
        if(istype(O,/turf/door))
            call(/turf/door/proc/open)()



door code
    door
        icon = 'turf.dmi'
        icon_state = "closed"
        density = 1
        opacity = 1
        proc/open()
            density = 0  
            opacity = 0  
            flick("opening",src)  
            icon_state = "open" 
            sleep(40)  
            flick("closing",src)
            icon_state = "closed"
            density = 1  
            opacity = 1

Um..

   Bump(atom/O) 
        if(istype(O,/turf/door))
            O.open()


try that

EDIT: Does it matter if you make it var/atom/O, as well?

Shouldn't, and thanks... I guess that was dumb.


EDIT: error: O.open: undefined proc... why me???

I would tell you to :: cough :: use the : operator :: cough :: because it's already defined, but people would yell at me.

You have to 'type cast' the var, whatever that means.

umm... o...k... sure...

EDIT: even with your (cough cough) suggestions, the doors remain welded shut. grrrrrr.....

Vito, to unconfuse you. I would have said to just simply make it "O:open()" but people would yell at me.

To have 'robust coding' you must 'type cast the var', I don't know how to do that off hand.. let me search for it.

wait... don't bother. I've found a way to get it working... except that, while the flick proc runs the animation, whatever is behind it goes black. when the animation ceases, the background returns. What would cause that?

That has to do with your use of opacity, I believe.

Use opacity = 0 and density = 0 AFTER the flick of the door opening.

Don't think so...

door
        icon = 'turf.dmi'
        icon_state = "closed"
        density = 1
        opacity = 1
        Click() 
             
            flick("opening", src)  
            icon_state = "open"
            density = 0  
            opacity = 0  
            sleep(45)  
            density = 1  
            opacity = 1 
            flick("closing", src)
            icon_state = "closed"


EDIT: whoops....

    Bump(O) 
        if(istype(O,/turf/door))
            var/turf/door/d=O
            d.open()

You also may want to make the doors objs. :|

It has to do with the fact that you don't understand the order these things are going in. You have to do it like this:

 door
        icon = 'turf.dmi'
        icon_state = "closed"
        density = 1
        opacity = 1
        Click() 
             
            flick("opening", src)  
            density = 0  
            opacity = 0
            sleep(20) // how long your animation is exactly     
            icon_state = "open"
            sleep(45)  
            density = 1  
            opacity = 1 
            flick("closing", src)
            sleep(20) // again   
            icon_state = "closed"

I was going to suggest that as well, but didn't get around to it.

Your door is a turf object. It would be more handy if your door was an obj, like Ol' Yeller said.

THIS is confusing me. I thought you tried that already, and it didn't work? :/
