And I'm getting out of my depth.

I download this keypad prefab and I'm using it in my map no problem.
http://www.fpsbanana.com/prefabs/416

The problem started when I got all ambitious,...

Basically I wrote a mappadd in the hope that you can configure the keypad's 4 digit code to whatever configuration you want.
And also have the door the keypad relates to be openable or start locked requiring interaction with the keypad.

Now I managed to get this working, but as Deathy and TheMoon discovered not all 4 digit combinations of numbers 0-9 are possible?

The system is quite complex and a little beyond me, I get a bit lost when trying to figure it out. Or maybe the mappadd causes a bug I don't know?

The first and the one TheDeathy and TheMoon tested read like this:

        {

            "OnCase04" "keypad_%i_compare,SetCompareValue,9,0,-1" // Value,9 is the fourth number of the keycode change to any value from 0-9
            "OnCase05" "keypad_%i_accept,PlaySound,,0,-1"

            "OnCase05" "keypad_%i_case,InValue,0,0,-1"
            "OnCase05" "keypad_%i_correctcounter,SetValueNoFire,0,0,-1"
            "origin" "174 495 -256"
        }
    }
    Modify
    {
         ClassName
        {
            "worldspawn"
            {
                "mapversion" "519"
            }
        }
        TargetName
        {
            "keypad_%i_door"
            {
                "spawnflags" "5136" //To toggle the door openable by players add the value 5136, to lock the door simply remove the value 5136
            }
        }

Now I realised that that logic auto sends inputs to the logic_compare and was wondering if the inputs are lost in using the mapadd.
So I tried adding the logic compare.

        {
            "npc_ichthyosaur" {}

        }
        TargetName
        {
            "maker1" {}
            "maker2" {}
            "keypad_%i_case" {}
            }
    }
	
    Add
    {
        "logic_case"
        {
            "targetname" "keypad_%i_case"
            "Case01" "0"
            "Case02" "1"
            "Case03" "2"
            "Case04" "3"
            "Case05" "4"
            "OnCase01" "keypad_%i_compare,SetCompareValue,2,0,-1" // Value,2 is the first number of the keycode change to any value from 0-9
            "OnCase02" "keypad_%i_compare,SetCompareValue,4,0,-1" // Value,3 is the second number of the keycode change to any value from 0-9
            "OnCase03" "keypad_%i_compare,SetCompareValue,1,0,-1" // Value,0 is the third number of the keycode change to any value from 0-9
            "OnCase04" "keypad_%i_compare,SetCompareValue,2,0,-1" // Value,9 is the fourth number of the keycode change to any value from 0-9
            "OnCase05" "keypad_%i_accept,PlaySound,,0,-1"
            "OnCase05" "keypad_%i_door,Open,,0,-1"
            "OnCase05" "keypad_%i_case,InValue,0,0,-1"
            "OnCase05" "keypad_%i_correctcounter,SetValueNoFire,0,0,-1"
            "origin" "174 495 -256"
        }
        "logic_compare"
        {
            "targetname" "keypad_%i_compare"
            "InitialValue" "0"
            "CompareValue" "0"
            "OnEqualTo" "keypad_%i_correctcounter,Add,1,0,-1"
            "OnNotEqualTo" "keypad_%i_branch,SetValue,1,0,-1"
            "origin" "126 495 -256"
        }
    }

Now to get the logic_compare in I used to generated scripts 1 to remove it the 1 to add it then I added to the mappadd I'm using for the map.

Basically, I can't see that the prefab maker hasn't ruled out any possibles, And I'm not sure if I the mappadd dosen't like something like removing the ichy's template_makers. And the weirdest part is it all works ok for changing to somenumbers even with the first peice of code I used without the logic_compare...

Two numbers we know don't work are 0592,2412.
Infact Im gonna compile the map without mapadds using those numbers as the defualt code and see if it's the prefab setup...

Well it would seem the good news is it's not the mappadd. Its in the string of entities somewhere, the prefab dosen't allow some number configurations. All I gotta do Is try work it all out

How do I know well I did what I said and tested the bad numbers by actually editing the enities in hammer rather than using any mapadd.

Next question totally unrelated:
A func_areaport or portal window can pass through func_details?

EDIT: Problem solved!!!
