Combo lock question

Lord0fHam · 2014-02-20 19:32:05

Every once in a while, I see someone who has a really cool combo lock. The two that I remember are ones with a specific order and ones that have a bunch of powered doors at the top with dogs behind that are released if it is done wrong. I was hoping someone could show me how to make these.

Does ANYONE know how to make the dog one?

Something like this would work for the dog one:

If you press 1, 3, or 7, the dog doors lose power and they come swarming in. The correct combo is 2,5,6. If you press 4, the combo is broken but the dog's aren't released, which might trick people into thinking 4 is a right button to press.

I didn't see this one yet. Good one :-)

You should also probably make the incorrect buttons break the combo lock:

So that people can't just press most buttons then use drugged meat to get through.

Ah it's so obvious! Not that I put a lot of thought into this but still I'm embarrassed I didn't figure it out now x_x
Thanks Iceman

Also isnt the door initially unpowered?

Good catch! If you added an power triggered inverted switch, like I had for the top doors, it would work.

Well I don't know what you're looking for in unusual combo lock designs but here are a couple of novelty ones: http://castledraft.com/editor/LffgsC
Linking a magic dance to a combo lock is more about adding a penalty for cutting the power...I tried putting powered pits throughout a magic dance but really they just show that that small part is a walk of faith.

i'm using a more compact version of the lock

it has the same liability of others combolocks (bring a ladder and you're done), but at least it won't take half a map to have an 8 bit lock and since buttons and pit share the same powersource if you saw something you have to force it
