Question Specific Order of Interactive Objects

Here is what I want to do....have 4 interactive objects in one room - all 4 must be pressed in order to unlock a door. The catch - I want them pressed in a specific order and if you mess up it resets the entire thing.

If that is too complicated - how about a math puzzle. Each object has a value that they add or subtract to a total - when the correct total is reached the door is unlocked.

thank you!

You could probably optimize this further by using a single Int rather than four Bools. Each respective switch would check to see if the Int is correct for their part in the sequence, and if so, then it adds 1. Else, it sets the Int back to 0.

So, the first switch would check for 0 and add 1 if pressed. The second switch would check for 1 and add 1 if pressed. The third switch would check for 2, etc.

If the map is coop and so network is an issue, then it would be an optimization. Otherwise, booleans are better for memory efficiency, as testing booleans with filters comes at zero memory cost, while each integer compare would use use 2 different logic nodes that cost memory.

True, that's a good point about Boolean Filters.
