Doors and Locks

Doors and locks are used to restrict travel between two different rooms.

Requirements

You need to meet several requirements in order to be able to make or upgrade a door. You will need a Tookit equipped to one of your hand slots. You will also need to be one of the following to make or upgrade a door :

• The owner of the entity
• The commander of the entity
• A member of a faction that is the commander of the entity

In addition, if you wish to downgrade a lock, change the password, or unlock the door, you will need to be:

• The owner of the entity
• The commander of the entity
• A member of a faction that is the commander of the entity, with 'Makeover' privs for the entity, 'May Change Door Codes' privs, or have the passcode

Making a Door

In order to make a door you need to meet the above requirements. Once this is done you will need to be in one of the rooms you wish to create a door between. Once you are in position, you can follow the below instructions:

• ::Control::
• Click [Position].
• Click on [Actions] on the central horizontal bar.
• Click on the [Locks] button on the left.
• Click on the [Install] button on the row that corresponds to the direction you wish to install the door.
• Enter a password, and click the [Submit button].

The passcode cannot be more than 10 characters in length, and nor can it be empty.

Success and Failure

Your success at making a door or upgrading one follows the following equation: Chance to Install: (100 - (Lock Level *35 )) + (Theft/Deceit * 15)

Where lock level corresponds to:

Door Type	Lock Level
None	0
Standard	1
Reinforced	2
Blast	3

If you fail the lock process, you will not receive any XP for the process. In addition there is a 50% chance that you will loose 2-10 HP.

Time

Making a door or upgrading a lock takes time, dependant on its difficulty:

Installation Time (hours): Lock Level * 4

Upgrading/Downgrading a Lock

This is very similar to making a door, however there are some subtle differences. You need slightly different access levels (see above) in order to downgrade a lock (upgrading however is fine). Doors must be unlocked when upgrading/downgrading, and cannot be locked again until the upgrading/downgrading procedure is finished. To upgrade/downgrade a lock you need to:

• ::Control::
• Click [Position].
• Click on [Actions] on the central horizontal bar.
• Click on the [Locks] button on the left.
• Click on the [Upgrade] or [Downgrade] button on the row that corresponds to the lock you wish to modify.
• (type in password if you are needed to).

Locking/Unlocking a Door

In order to lock a door you just need to be inside. In order to unlock the door you will need to be:

• The owner of the entity
• The commander of the entity
• A member of a faction that is the commander of the entity, with 'Makeover' privs for the entity, 'May Change Door Codes' privs, or have the passcode

A commander will always be required to enter the passcode to unlock a door. To lock/unlock a door:

• ::Control::
• Click [Position].
• Click on [Actions] on the central horizontal bar.
• Click on the [Locks] button on the left.
• Click on the [Lock] or [Unlock] button on the row that corresponds to the lock you wish to modify.
• (type in password if you are needed to).

Changing a Passcode

Passwords can be changed from the lock screen. Commanders are required to enter the previous password as well as a new password in order to change the password. Owners are only required to enter a new password.

Passing Through a Locked Door

You will need to either have the passcode to the door and enter it each time you pass through, or have a Keycard with the relevant passcode stored in it. Such a Keycard will only work if it is equipped to the Belt or Hand slot, or stored inside an item that is itself equipped to the Belt slot.

Keys

Keycards are used to pass through locked doors. They can store up to 20 different passcodes. The are created with Crafting.

Breaking a Lock

In order to break a lock you will need a Electronic Lock Breaker equipped to one of your hands. If you try to move through a locked door you will be given the option to break the lock. Depending on your ability and the lock level there will be different chances of success:

Chance to Succeed: ((Theft/Deceit+1)/7)*(0.02*Theft/Deceit+1)*((Theft/Deceit+0.1)/5) * (2/(2^Lock Level))*100

If you fail, there is chance your Lockbreak will break:

Chance to Break Lockbreaker: ((6 - Theft/Deceit) * Lock Level)

Once a lock is broken, it will be set to Unlocked. However the door can still be locked again without further upgrading or repair. There is also a 50% chance that the owner of the entity you are in will receive an event about you breaking the lock.
