Lock & Key

A Foundry VTT module to handle locking and unlocking of doors and tokens

Basic use:

A GM can shift+right-click doors and loot containers (PF2e or Item Piles) to create a new key for them in the item sections. Every player that has a key in their inventory can lock or unlock matching doors and tokens with a right-click. If a lock has a password, an appropriate prompt to enter said password can be triggered by right-clicking the lock. Locked tokens can not be looted. Players can attempt to pick a lock by shift+right-clicking a lock and try to break a lock by alt+right-clicking it.

A tutorial for some of the features can be found here.

Since v2.0.0 Lock & Key can also handle Pickpocketing!

GM controls

A GM can alt+right-click lockable tokens to lock or unlock them.

The key IDs of doors, tokens and keys can be copied and pasted into one another to connect them. To copy or paste a keys IDs right click it in the item section and choose one of the options from the context menu. To copy a tokens or doors IDs ctrl+right-click them and to paste them ctrl+left-click them.

All of these controlls can also be achieved through the included macros.

Examples:

• I. Copy Door A's key IDs and paste them into Loot Token B (or vice versa). All keys that can unlock/lock Door A can now also unlock/lock Loot Token B (or vice versa).
• II. Copy Door A's key IDs and paste them into Key B (or vice versa). Key B can now unlock/lock Door A.
• III. Copy Key A's key IDs and paste them into Key B. All doors that can be opened by Key A can now also be opened by Key B (but not the other way around).

All player and GM controls also have corresponding key binds.

Compatibility:

The module should be compatible with most game systems on Foundry v10 and v11, though a few features are only available for the Pf2e system or in combination with other modules. If you encounter any bugs please let me know. I am also happy to add further game systems. (Issues can give you additional informations)
