Most chests have a frob-blocker attached, that shuts down frobbing when the lid is closed so players can't take objects through the chest walls. Maybe your box lid is triggering the frob-block on the wardrobe.

 

Turn your clip-filter off if you have one so you can see the frob-blocker entity.

Yes that's the cause. Removing the jewellery box frob-blocker entity causes the wardrobe to keep functioning. However that means i can frob the jewellery box before picking it. I tried separating the wardrobe frob-blocker into two parts to see if it was the touching that was causing it but that didnt help.

 

The box has a target on it for the control but the wardrobe doesn't. I'm afraid i'm not sure what to try next.

 

BTW I'd like to thank you Springheel for your video tutorials. After giving up mapping a few years ago because i just didn't have time to read and learn, I've restarted with renewed vigor due to yourself and some others within the Darkmod community. Video tuts are so easy to watch and learn - i'd like to share some screenshots for you but not sure how to attach to this post.

I think you can put a thin frob-blocking brush just inside the door, so it blocks the player being able to frob the box, but doesn't actually touch the box.

Glad they're helpful!

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
