Tired of picking another lock or hunting for that missing key?

Imagine The City is itself an elaborate lock, and you are the key.

Embrace progression through careful exploration and navigation of the environment.

Embrace the latch pill:

Included is a new entity type and scripting for a door mounted toggle lock, or "latch", as well as new CC0 assets and prefabs.

Latch Lock Features

• Supports single and double doors across all cardinal directions, as well as trap doors
• Uses the location system to handle context sensitive frob highlighting of the latch and the doors
• Automatically determines the correct latch state on map start based on the targeted door's "locked" spawnarg
• Options for rotate, translate, or both with unique sound slots for each
• Supports any model or func_static

To get started head over and grab the latest release (available with or without demo content) and read the getting started guide.

This is a beta release - so your feedback is appreciated!

Especially when the assets look so damn cool!

But soon you will want to change all the pipes in your mission...

A great addition...

Spoiler

(Totally not because T.B.P. had them?)

...while those all seem to fit great for utilitarian/industrial/fortress settings - what about quaint manor homes and/or stone-castles, as well as rustic scenes? (examples included)

The latch is just like any any other entity - you can use any model or func_static you like as long as the mechanism translates or rotates (or both).
