Lock System for RPG Maker

Add interactive lockpicking and keypad challenges to your RPG Maker game. Set up different locks, choose how tough they are, and let players crack a PIN to unlock doors, chests, and other events.

What you can build

• Lockpicking challenges with configurable difficulty, torque, and lockpick durability
• Different lockpick items with their own images, quality, and break chance
• Keypad challenges with custom PINs, attempt limits, and keypad layouts
• Event outcomes that use switches and self switches for success or failure
• Custom lock and keypad graphics, plus lockpicking sound effects

Lockpicking Minigame

Add Skyrim-style lockpicking to your game. Players need to find the right position for the lockpick and apply torque to turn the lock.

You can adjust the difficulty, lockpick durability, and other settings to make locks easier or harder to pick. Different lockpick items can also have their own quality, graphics, and chance of breaking.

Keypad Minigame

Add keypads to doors, chests, terminals, or anything else you want to lock behind a PIN code.

PIN codes aren't limited to numbers. You can also use letters and symbols, or a combination of all three, as long as you have the graphics for them.

Set your own PIN, limit how many attempts the player gets, and customize the keypad layout and graphics.

You can also use RPG Maker events to create puzzles where players need to find a code somewhere in the game before they can unlock something.

Event Integration

Both minigames work with RPG Maker's event system, so you can decide what happens when a player succeeds or fails.

Use switches and self switches to unlock doors, open chests, trigger events, or handle failed attempts however you want.

The included example game also shows how to set everything up, so you can use it as a reference when adding locks and keypads to your own project.
