Rental Door Unlocking at random
« on: September 20, 2024, 05:03:53 PM »
It seems that there may be a bug with the thieves highway rental unlocking randomly and after resets. I've heard this reported from multiple people now, and its slightly frustrating since it has lead to roleplay that otherwise shouldnt have happened, and people learning things that they would otherwise be unable to.


If it could be looked into, that would be great. Thanks.

If you log in or out within a rental near the door, it automatically unlocks to prevent people from becoming stuck in an area. You can probably avoid this issue by positioning your characters far from the door since it does have a radius for the check.

The Drain rooms used to have this problem as well, regardless of the location of your login. It seems to have since been fixed, but I have only not noticed it happen in Room #3, it might still be occuring in Room #1 for all I know since my character last held a key. It occured when entering the Room, and walking through the door, closing it and locking it. Afterwards walking further into the room, the door would unlock itself.

This still continues to happen in the drain as well from time to time. Doors can randomly unlock or lock themselves if you leave them unlocked. I've had some issues with it also

Common problem, Im thinking the doors are open when no key-holder has even logged in at this point.

pausing potential rp on this since its poison fruit trees.

The reason I think this happens is more due to people logging in outside the rental but due to the fact that the rentals are in the same area and not transitionable ones it triggers the script to open the door. Similar to how sometimes you will get teleported around by the game cause locations are hard.
