I feel like an idiot, but I was having trouble making a safe with a password for the player to type in (I could have used a piece of paper with the code as a "key" using the basic container function, but didn't want to resort to that). I thought I'd check the forums and found nothing, so since I've solved the issue, I thought I'd create this post for anyone else struggling.

First, you need two objects: The safe (complete with whatever item/s you wish to hide in it) and a keypad.

Step 1: Go to the features tab of the safe, then select container.

Step 2: Go to the container tab, select closed container, then set it as lockable, with no keys.

Step 3: Go to the keypad object, go to features and set it as use/give.

Step 4: Go to the use/give tab and set it to run a script when used on its own.

Step 5: Print the message "Please enter the password:", or something to that effect.

Step 6: Run the script "Get input".

Step 7: Add an "If" script to that and select expression.

Step 8: If your password is 1111, the expression will look like this: result="1111"
If your password is password, the expression should be: result="password"

Step 9: Print a message. Something like "correct. The safe unlocks", or something like that.

Step 10: This is the bit I missed and made me feel like an idiot. I chose "open object". You don't want to do this. It will open the object, but it won't let you take the items or open/close the safe. Instead, run the script "set variable". The variable is safe.locked (if your safe is named "safe", anyway.)

Step 11: Expression should already be selected from the dropdown box, but if not, select that. In the final box, type "false".

Step 12: For the else, just print a message like "It doesn't open".

The safe should now work. That's how I made mine :)
