unlock with key

[troglodyte111]

If player has the key to a locked object, simply "unlock object" works fine. But "unlock object with key" results in "That doesn't work." Isn't this unfortunate? The "unlock" pattern is

^unlock (?<object>.*?)( (with|using) (?<object2>.*))?$

which hints that supplying a second object should be possible. Am I missing something?

I tried to modify the unlock internal function as well, but it breaks its coding logic as it is chained to other internal functions.
So my walkaround solution is to add a second unlock command on top of the original unlock internal function.

I know this method requires you to write out each code for each new unlocking pair of items, but let's see why modifying internal functions doesn't work.

Let's go to internal functions: (Bottom left, click filter, show library elements.)
Search for "unlock" and copy over, it showed pattern: unlock #object#.
When you hide the library elements, you will see that this unlock is actually a verb not a command parser, which is a problem, from my knowledge, verbs can only handle 1 object at a time.

Now if you are clever, you will find that in your container: the wardrobe have "Automatically unlock if player has the key(s)", and no, this doesn't works as well, I also have no idea what this does apparently, lol.

Then you are going to find in the attributes of the container: the wardrobe, there is actually a hidden unlock attribute.
This is the reason why I stopped trying to modify the internal function unlock, because you see this container's unlock is chained to another internal function named: AllKeysAvailable

So when we show library elements again and search for "AllKeysAvailable", you can see that it doesn't just check for 1 key, it checks for all required keys, and this is a hard code to modify with,
imagine coding
unlock #object# with #object1#
unlock #object# with #object1# and #object2#
unlock #object# with #object1# and #object2# and #object3#
and so on...

Whoever coded this, managed to squeeze multiple keys required up to infinite into one short script.
So if I were you, I would stop trying at here, and just make a new unlock command on top of this unlock internal function.
