Can some one tell me about the lockpick chanses, (the numbers at the entity editor for doors and conteiners).
for example how do I do that you have to have aliast 50/ 85/ 20 skill?

If you enter a positive number in the Difficulty field this will count as a penalty to the Lock Pick skill of someone trying to pick the lock.

If you enter a negative number in the Difficulty field this will count as a bonus to the person's skill.

If you leave the difficulty at zero (0), the lock will not be able to be picked.

So all you have to do is figure out what skill level you want to be the cut-off point, then subtract a couple of points from that, and enter that number in the "Difficulty" field.

BTW, when someone tries to pick the lock they have a modified change of <10% the message "Looks Difficult" will diplay over them when they attempt it. So this message doesn't necessarily mean that they are trying to do something impossible.

PS When you ask modding/mapping questions, please post them in this forum, and not the FoT forum.

Same deal goes for the Science skill/science switches and the Traps skill/traps, in case you were wondering :D

If you enter "40" in the field, someone w/a 50 LP skill will have a 10% chance of picking the lock.

Huh? I made one myself, although it isn't very good (read: it blows chunks). PM/email me with what you meant - I've done enough topic hijacking for a while! :D
