The Configuration window has a Copy Content Link
button you can use to paste in a journal or chat.
Unlocking
When a lock is unlocked, by defaut, if the document is a door type wall, the door will be unlocked. If it's any other type of document, all users will get ownership of the document.
What can be Locked?
Locking a Door
You can lock a door by opening the wall configuration and setting up the puzzle lock. If the door is in a locked state and a user tries to open it, the puzzle will be displayed.
Locking tiles (Monk's Active Tiles support)
You can lock a tile by opening the tile configuration and setting up the puzzle lock. If the tile is an Active Tile, any click action that triggers the tile will display the puzzle instead of executing the action.
Example:
- A tile with a click trigger will display the puzzle when clicked and the action will not be executed. Once the puzzle is solved, the action will be executed the next time the tile is clicked.
Locking Journals, Items, Actors, etc...
You can lock any document by opening the document sheet and setting up the puzzle lock. If a user tries to open the document, the puzzle will be displayed and the document will not be opened unless the puzzle is solved.
