The Door Knows What You're Wearing

What this demonstrates

• player_equipped
• object_type, faction_owner_id, and locked
• lock_level, key, and trap
• Persistent instance changes

Why it works

An imperial-owned door that is still locked checks the player's currently equipped cuirass. When the condition passes, the fixed action order unlocks the door and clears its key and trap requirements. No Lua event bus, disguise registry, or door-specific script is required.

The same pattern can be duplicated for other factions and uniforms. The primitives are individually plain; together they are an access system.

The catch

• This is checked only when the door becomes active. Equipping the uniform while the door is already active does not cause SSS to revisit it.
• Removing the uniform does not re-lock the door. The action is a persistent world mutation, not a live access predicate.
• activate_by_player is intentionally absent. The player still has to interact with the door normally.
• key: false and trap: false are destructive for matching doors; narrow the faction and uniform conditions before using this beyond an experiment.
