[Tutorial] Keypad Code

[Zeph]

Often people want a code to be entered on a keypad to open a door.
Most keypad 'logic' out there isn't quite that good.
I've worked out a decent way to create the keypad, and will share it with you.

This example will use the 4-digit code "5623".
Please note the attached example map does not use this code, it has it's own. See if you can work it out
Tip:
[1] [2] [3]
[4] [5] [6]
[7] [8] [9]

Func_Button (9 or 10 of these)
KeyValues:
Move Direction: (Into the keypad, angle set by top-down view)
Speed: "20"
Lip: "1"
Delay Before Reset: "0.25"
Outputs:
OnPressed -> "Keypad_Input" -> InValue -> "(Button Number)"

Logic_Case "Keypad_Input"
KeyValues:
Case01: "1"
Case02: "2" (Etc, one for each button)
Outputs:
OnCase01 -> "Keypad_Compare" -> SetValueCompare -> "1" (Automatically compares after setting 'Value')
OnCase02 -> "Keypad_Compare" -> SetValueCompare -> "2" (Etc, one for each button)

Logic_Compare "Keypad_Compare"
KeyValues:
CompareValue: "5" (The first digit of your code)
Outputs:
OnEqualTo -> "Keypad_Correct" -> Trigger
OnNotEqualTo -> "Keypad_Wrong" -> Trigger

Logic_Relay "Keypad_Correct"
Outputs:
OnTrigger -> "Keypad_CurrentDidgit" -> Add -> "1" (Loads next code digit)
(Plus any additional outputs to perform when a correct number is entered)

Logic_Relay "Keypad_Wrong"
Outputs:
OnTrigger -> "Keypad_CurrentDigit" -> Set -> "1" (Resets to first code digit)
(Plus any additional outputs to perform when a wrong number is entered, EG: flash red light)

Math_Counter "Keypad_CurrentDigit"
KeyValues:
StartValue: "1"
Outputs:
OutValue -> "Keypad_Code" -> InValue (Automatically fired every time the 'Value' changes)

Logic_Case "Keypad_Code"
KeyValues:
Case01: "1"
Case02: "2"
Case03: "3"
Case04: "4"
Case05: "5" (Number of digits in code + 1)
Outputs:
OnCase01 -> "Keypad_Compare" -> SetCompareValue -> "5"
OnCase02 -> "Keypad_Compare" -> SetCompareValue -> "6"
OnCase03 -> "Keypad_Compare" -> SetCompareValue -> "2"
OnCase04 -> "Keypad_Compare" -> SetCompareValue -> "3"
OnCase05 -> "Keypad_CodeEntered" -> Trigger (End clause)

Logic_Relay "Keypad_CodeEntered"
Outputs:
OnTrigger -> "Keypad_Correct" -> Disable
OnTrigger -> "Keypad_Wrong" -> Disable (These stop the keypad from working further)
(Plus any additional outputs to perform when the full code has been entered,
EG: open a door, start an elevator, play a sound, turn on a green light, etc)

zeph is there anything you DONT know ?

[Zeph]

What i don't know i google, which then after a bit of reading removes it from the list.

It took me a bit of thumb twiddling and face scrunching to come up with this method, but i think it works well I do enjoy logic challenges. Reminds me of my baby doll with lazer eyes creating a hole in a wall...

[erik]

hehe well if i ever need a keypad il remember to use your method cuze thay seem to work

[khallal]

Wonder if 3kliksphilip have time to make a video tutorial of this.

[erik]

you dont realy need a video for these its quite easy to make when u understand, videos are for those who dont know thayr way whit hammer and it helps them to locate specific buttons.

[Zeph]

I have thought of a simplistic (but different) method, maybe i'll write it up tomorrow.

[Zeph]

It wasn't much simpler! Still uses 7 entities.

However, the major difference is, you type in FOUR digits, and THEN it checks if the code is correct. (NOTE: same code as the previous map )

The first map above checks every number as they are entered, and therefore with a error signal (eg red light) it is possible to guess the code. This one, however, it's very hard to guess as it checks once the whole code is entered.

Func_Button (9 or 10 of these)
KeyValues:
Move Direction: (Into the keypad, angle set by top-down view)
Speed: "20"
Lip: "1"
Delay Before Reset: "0.25"
Outputs:
OnPressed -> "Keypad_Input" -> InValue -> "(Button Number)"

Logic_Case "Keypad_Input"
KeyValues:
Case01: "1"
Case02: "2" (Etc, one for each button)
Outputs:
OnCase01 -> "Keypad_NumDigits" -> Add -> "1"
OnCase01 -> "Keypad_Entered" -> Multiply-> "10"
OnCase01 -> "Keypad_Entered" -> Add -> "(Button Number)" -> Delay -> "0.01"
(Etc, for each Case input)

Math_Counter "Keypad_NumDigits"
Outputs:
OutValue -> "Keypad_NumDigits_Compare" -> SetValueCompare (Automatically compares after setting 'Value')

Logic_Compare "Keypad_NumDigits_Compare"
KeyValues:
Compare Value: "4" (Number of digits in your code)
Outputs:
OnEqualTo -> "Keypad_Code_Compare" -> Compare -> Delay -> "0.10"
OnGreaterThan -> "Keypad_Code_Compare" -> Compare -> Delay -> "0.10" (Security measure)
(Note: Delay is to allow completion of Multiplication and Addition)

Math_Counter "Keypad_Entered"
Outputs:
OutValue -> "Keypad_Code_Compare" -> SetValue (Without comparing)

Logic_Compare "Keypad_Code_Compare"
KeyValues:
Initial Value: "0"
Compare Value: "5623" (Your code)
Outputs:
OnNotEqualTo -> "Keypad_Wrong" -> Trigger
OnEqualTo -> "Keypad_Correct" -> Trigger

Logic_Relay "Keypad_Wrong"
Outputs:
OnTrigger -> "Keypad_Entered" -> Set -> "0" -> Delay -> "0.10"
OnTrigger -> "Keypad_NumDigits" -> Set -> "0" -> Delay -> "0.10"
(Plus any additional outputs to perform when a wrong number is entered, EG: flash red light)

Logic_Relay "Keypad_Correct"
Outputs:
OnTrigger -> "Keypad_Correct" -> Disable
OnTrigger -> "Keypad_Wrong" -> Disable (These stop the keypad from working further)
(Plus any additional outputs to perform when the full code has been entered,
EG: open a door, start an elevator, play a sound, turn on a green light, etc)

help me

i want to know what the code is and
how can i change this code?

[Zeph]

for the first one, the Logic_Case called "Keypad_Code" stores the code.
For the second one, the Logic_Compare called "Keypad_Code_Compare" stores the code.
For the written examples, the code is 5623. Find these and change them.
For in game, the code is my secret . You can work it out quite easily on the FIRST keypad map, since as soon as you put in a wrong number, if flashes red and resets.

One recommends remaking the logic using the above written guides, rather than decompiling and just copying. You learn more this way.

[qinu]

but this maps doesn't have logic compare, fully logic relay.
I dont know how to get this code and change it...

[Zeph]

Why are you asking me what someone else's code is? I won't decompile someone else's map without permission to look into their logic for a keypad code that i have already supplied you with two alternatives, with guides! Contact the map creator.

[qinu]

So, I guess no one knows the answer . At least i need to know what the code is...
Please Zeph I feel like I am going crazy with this...

[Zeph]

So you can ...
make your own? use my guides.
or get into the secret room in the map? just sv_cheats 1 noclip.

I can't do anything without the vmf, and i refuse to decompile.

[qinu]

hope you can use this tool www.fpsbanana.com/mirrors/startdl/1592?path=http://www.lotechdesigns.com/fpsb/tools/44/entspy-08§ionid=107746&ext=zip
some screen shot
i need some help from you to reveal this code..


and explanations how it works..
