Emote Lock Near Doors

Small fix with a big effect. Players were abusing emotes and animations to clip through locked doors, so emotes are blocked near doors, and it's configurable per door so normal roleplay isn't hurt.

Role: Lua, ox_doorlock UI
Server: Skyland
Framework: ESX
Stack: Lua, ox_doorlock, rpemotes2
Status: Live on Skyland

A character at a building's glass front doors, with a red notification at the top right saying animations aren't allowed near a door — An emote cancelled next to a locked door, with the warning notification 1 / 2

The door editor open over the same glass doors, with name and passcode fields, Locked and Double switched on, and Allow emotes switched off — An emote cancelled next to a locked door, with the warning notification 1 / 2

How it works

Start to finish

An emote cancelled next to a locked door, with the warning notification 1 / 2
01 — The watcher

Cancel the emote, say why
- A watcher cancels rpemotes animations when a player stands within 7.5 m of an ox_doorlock door (distance and check rate configurable) and tells them why.
The ox_doorlock settings panel with the added Allow emotes toggle 2 / 2
02 — The toggle

Opt out per door
- A per-door Allow emotes toggle in the ox_doorlock settings UI, saved with the door, so doors that don't need the protection can opt out.
- Docs first: design spec and implementation plan written before the code, then the change landed across both resources.
