Those reports only describe the problem. None of them has the cause or a fix. This report has both, tested on a live server.

I found the cause and have a working fix.

File: scripts/4_world/classes/codelockvisualmanager.c

Method: GetAnimationPhaseForBackPart, line 452

Constant: BACK_PART_HOUSE, line 47

Problem

Since 1.30.164200 the DigitalCodeLock on a house door cannot be used from inside. There is no prompt at all, neither "Lock" nor "Unlock". From outside it works. Combination locks on the same doors work from both sides. Reproduced on Land_House_2M2, different doors, several players.

Cause

In 1.30.164078 the back part of the lock on a house door was set to 0.60. In 1.30.164200 it was changed to 0.50.

1.30.164078:

if (hierarchyParent.IsInherited(House))

{

if (reversed)

animationPhase = 0.50;

else

animationPhase = 0.60;

}

1.30.164200:

if (hierarchyParent.IsInherited(House))

{

animationPhase = BACK_PART_HOUSE; // 0.50

}

Because of this the back part of the lock is now inside the door. From inside you aim at the lock, but the game hits the door, so no lock action appears. This is the only code lock change between these two builds.

Fix

Set it back to 0.60 for normal (not reversed) house doors:

modded class CodeLockVisualManager

{

override protected float GetAnimationPhaseForBackPart(EntityAI hierarchyParent, bool reversed)

{

if (!reversed && hierarchyParent.IsInherited(House))

return 0.60;

return super.GetAnimationPhaseForBackPart(hierarchyParent, reversed);

}

}

Tested on our community server as a server side mod only. After it, the lock works from inside again on all doors. Clients do not need anything.

1. Vanilla server 1.30.164200.

2. Build a door in a house, for example Land_House_2M2.

3. Put a DigitalCodeLock with a charged 9V battery on it and set a PIN.

4. Go inside and look at the lock: no action.

5. Go outside and look at the lock: actions work.

The lock works from inside: "Lock" when it is unlocked, "Unlock" when it is locked, like in 1.30.164078.
