Talk:Point bonusmaps accessor

If I try to use the unlock input with this entity I always get a "failed to set boolean..." error. Someone who knows how to use this entity needs to explain it in better detail. Thelonesoldier 00:12, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Reposting from my Talk page for everyone's benefit: Normal bonus maps should not have the lock set. Bonus map locking and point_bonusmaps_accessor are both used in the singleplayer game. You know how you can't play the Challenge versions of chambers 15-18 until you have completed them normally? That's what that entity is for. Those maps start out as locked, and they unlock as you progress through the singleplayer campaign via that entity.

You could, in theory, use this functionality to have a series of maps and only have them unlocked from the Bonus Maps screen as you complete them in progress, similar to the way the Chapters work for the singleplayer. You would still need the first map to start out unlocked, but the other maps could be locked and only unlock as the player progresses.

But I digress. If you are making a standalone map, it should have lock set to 0 otherwise it will be unaccessable. --Msleeper 04:58, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
