What is "Protected, no skills to intersect"? I can't connect the Remote Door Control Receiver since I always get that when I try.

And what is the difference between the “Remote Door Control Receiver” and the “Simple Remote Door Control Receiver”?
SilverWolf Jun 1 @ 10:29am 
In my base, I have a crate placed between two garage doors (Gate 1 and Gate 2). Inside the crate is a remote control device that's currently only configured to operate one of the gates. My goal is to use this single device to open both gates — ideally from the same crate or centralized location.

Is it possible to configure a single remote control to operate both garage doors? If not, are there any workarounds or setup tricks that would let me open both gates remotely, using a device stored in the crate between them?

@Zeliska feel sad for all who used our mods before, will bring them back one day.. thank you.

@Alpha Gamer we are usually focusing at multiplayer and as far as it's not yet available in b42 - we are are kinda abandoned a game for a while. that's why currently we are not pushing any updates. I believe that we will return and will bring all our mods back to the pz as soon as multiplayer will arrive.

Alpha Gamer Jan 12 @ 7:07am

@The Z, Okay cool! I understand now. My only suggestion is to make it possible to rename individual remotes and activate/deactivate whole remotes. That way we can keep track of lost ones and disable them. Thanks for the great mod!
The Z  [author] Jul 14, 2024 @ 9:58am 
@BagelShoes you get it all right. Share remote data makes this receiver open to be controlled for any Master Remote. You don't need more than one Master Remote because they are all the same, Master Remote doesn't have any remote id or any unique identifier that is why this item is just an item without any need of having more than one of it. If you want to make these remotes function only within you base, just don't use Share data for your other bases. If you want to control a specific bases with your different remotes - Master Remote is not a right choice, use normal linked remotes instead. Thanks for using our mod, Have fun ;)
BagelShoes Jul 14, 2024 @ 5:46am 
This mod is pretty cool but like most people here I have some questions. Does a master remote work on any receiver? What exactly does the "Share Remote Data" function do? Does this make the receiver controllable by any master remote? If so, how would I go about getting two remotes that only function within my base? I would love a more in depth manual or explanation of the functions going on in this mod.

Why can't I get the item I need through the admin list of items? We use the mod in multiplayer, but we can’t test it

Loh, have a screwdriver in your inventory or hand.

This has got to be one of the most frustrating mods to deal with. It is fragile as all hell. I followed the instructions correctly, then showed it to my friends, then made a second remote, and linked it to the original reciever, you know to give my friend a remote to this door also.

Now nothing works, and the bug of "Protected, no skills to intersect" appears on the container.

The creator of this mod has ignored everyone mentioning this in the comments, and chooses instead to reply to a guy who can't drag stuff on his UI, this leads me to believe he is aware of the issue and hasn't a goddamn clue how to approach it, or the people complaining about it.

Do yourself a favour, stay the fuck away from this mod.

Hi I just wanted to say, if by any chance you lose the remote and you're not able to find it, in order to recover the control, you need to hijack the container, you need a screwdriver for that, be sure to use the vanilla one, modded ones will not work. :sans:
Youma Feb 25, 2024 @ 2:22pm 
There should be a warning not to mess with anything once you got it working, this mod breaks easier than a katana.
⚡Judge Zed⚡ Jan 28, 2024 @ 11:45am 
To anyone getting the "Protected - No Skills to Interact" you need to have read a magazine, and have a screwdriver(and maybe also a remote) in your current inventory (NOT a bag)
Cutflood Jan 23, 2024 @ 11:34pm 
I'm getting the "Protected - No Skills to Intersect" error too. Doing some testing now to see what I can do to fix it, so far nothing's worked. Destroying everything, rebuilding, re-linking remotes, nothing.

Update - Make sure you don't have the remote that is linked to the door inside a container in your inventory. It must be in your main inventory or inside a bag you are wearing. NOT inside a bag that is inside another bag.
Skarrjn Jan 10, 2024 @ 1:37pm 
How do you make shared and private remotes?
Sho Jan 2, 2024 @ 12:11pm 
Getting Protected, no skill to intersect error when trying to activate receiver inside box, help !
Démonuss Darkuss Jan 1, 2024 @ 10:51pm 
Are there any incompatibilities? because in my MP part it disconnects every time since then it works before
Terrorzwoggel[MG] Dec 31, 2023 @ 2:13pm 
i cant find the dumb option in the settings what is this
Terrorzwoggel[MG] Dec 31, 2023 @ 2:06pm 
i dont find the key bind in the settings
Zenethian Dec 28, 2023 @ 11:49pm 
Why does this require a container? Why can't I just place the receiver on the ground?
ScarletSkyFS Dec 5, 2023 @ 11:32pm 
nvm, find how to deal with it, just need better lockpicking xd
ScarletSkyFS Dec 5, 2023 @ 9:36am 
i have problem with (Protected, no skill to intersect). can anyone help me? since i lost my remote and it start like that
Angrysquirrel Nov 6, 2023 @ 6:17pm 
Hey dude, I just tried your suggestion by grabbing the edge of the box and it worked. Thanks! :)
The Z  [author] Nov 5, 2023 @ 1:16pm 
@Angrysquirrel I have no idea which mods are you using that prevents you from dragging these Uis all around. Normally you can just drag it via its outer border.
Angrysquirrel Nov 5, 2023 @ 1:41am 
How do you move that RDC block on my screen off to the left? It's almost in the middle of my screen. Thanks!
The Z  [author] Nov 4, 2023 @ 5:08am 
@Heartbeat RC Explosives mod is an extension to "Remote Door Control System UI" mod. You are required to use them both to be able to use Explosives from the video we shared.
No, we are not able to link vanilla bombs to our system cuz its using totally different way of working. For our bombs we created a totally unique system which is independent of all others systems in the game.
Waffles Nov 4, 2023 @ 1:34am 
Could you make it so you don’t need a remote just for pve servers like maybe some way to add the door to the ui so you don’t have to keep a remote with you ?
Keep Walking Oct 10, 2023 @ 1:57pm 
Seeing you profile I can see that you have a mod called RC Explosives, is that mod required to make the Explosives tab work and if so, can you link the vanilla game bombs?
Keep Walking Oct 10, 2023 @ 1:54pm 
@TheZ Video: https://www.reddit.com/user/WhiteCoronel/comments/174vvx0/z_remote_door_control_bomb_problem/
The first door attempt didn't work because I placed a door in the exact same spot and didn't remove the device correctly. As you can see no matter how I plant the bombs they don't show up in your UI.
Keep Walking Oct 9, 2023 @ 7:33pm 
I think that a tiny video showing how to use the Explosives tab would be very usefull.
Keep Walking Oct 9, 2023 @ 7:23pm 
I know how to link and detonate bombs the normal way. What I aren’t able to do as I mentioned earlier it to access bombs through the UI, I have tried to plant the bombs the same way you connect the doors (linking them first to the remote to then place them in a box (Army crate in my case) and then right click the crate and then hit the “add to remote system”) and placing then like you would place them normally (after to link then to the remote you left click the bomb and hit the option that says Place…). Tomorrow (it’s 11pm in my time zone) I will send you a video (Reddit link) showing you what things I made to try to make the bombs appear in the menu, I have tried all bombs types.
The Z  [author] Oct 9, 2023 @ 1:58pm 
@Aristocrata1945 I know, this is not obvious, but to link your remote you need to link it to any other linkable device in a game, such as C4 for example, or any any other vanilla device such as remote noise maker.
Keep Walking Oct 9, 2023 @ 11:33am 
I love you mod but I don't know how to link bombs, I have the UI installed but it does not give me an option to link any type of bomb in any container. I would like if you could tell me how to link them.
Dosboy Oct 7, 2023 @ 11:09am 
Yeah, no go. Can't drag it from any side or anything. It does pop open another window that appears to be a control window of some sort. that window can be moved or resized but not the little square one that launches it. Oh well. I'll just turn it off and try another time as I'm in the middle of a game.
The Z  [author] Oct 7, 2023 @ 9:55am 
@Dosboy RDC button could be moved by dragging its border, window itself - moved as usual vanilla Uis.
Dosboy Oct 7, 2023 @ 4:55am 
Sorry, I must be an idiot. Just installed the mod and I am unable to move the remote control window around on the screen. Tried expanded or collapsed. Ideas? No right click options or anything. Thx.
CookedNeko- Sep 25, 2023 @ 11:36am 
linked remote multiple remotes with each multiple receivers should do the trick
CookedNeko- Sep 25, 2023 @ 11:35am 
@zello67 you have to add linked stuff into the box it's in I suggest you use a box that's big
zello67 Sep 22, 2023 @ 8:38pm 
hi I don't understand the mode!!! I installed the module! I linked my remote!! I read the book ! but nothing works! I still have the same problem (protected, no skill....) why even after reading the book 30 times in a row it doesn't work!!! it is impossible to share control with a member of the faction or safehouse
CookedNeko- Sep 22, 2023 @ 6:41pm 
my users just left with {Protected, No skills intact} hope there is a way for admin to un register a remote control crate
CookedNeko- Sep 22, 2023 @ 6:18pm 
how do I uninstall a remote if I lost the remote linked to the receivers?
The Z  [author] Sep 19, 2023 @ 6:29am 
@Hønk buttons stays always visible even if you are out of its range only for the main user (the one who mapped his controller Id to the device), if you are using master remote - they only visible in its remote range.
Hønk Sep 16, 2023 @ 8:52am 
I keep losing the garage buttons, i go away from my base, and then it disappears
Blor Aug 5, 2023 @ 10:09am 
Please man, make hacking optional (turn on/off in options), cus something is bugged and i cant activate receiver container anymore.

Do you need to read the magazine if you're playing as an engineer?
