Hmm eyes hurt from searching so imma just post this one.

Ok I just made a new map and it has some tiles I have placed in certain places to keep people out or let in when I type *objon and off. I wrote down all the x and y coords for each tile and the index for them too... I was reading the lvz ini file but it just messed me all up... what I want to know is how to make it so that I can control these doors. I want object 1 to control 2 diff doors for letting piolets in and out and object 2 to allow and dissallow piolets from going into my safety areas. This is prob a easy thing but I dont understand it.... music and images are a snap lol

You use the

?set door:doormode=some_number

where some_number is from 0 to 255. Each door tile represents 1 bit. You will almost certainly need a bot to do what you want, unless you happen to run ASSS.

Im not sure if the bot works, i didnt really play with it too much.
This is the formula in c++ for doors
if((doorState & 255) | (1 << i))
where doorstate is the current # that the door is and i is the number of the door you wish to turn on

and a nice function

void botInfo::setDoorMode(Uint8 mode)
{
_linkedlist <String> settings;
settings.append(new String("Door:DoorMode:" + String(mode)));
tell(makeChangeSettings(&settings));

doorState = mode;
}

there's a built-in 'calculator' in FACTS for people that don't like to think

I think to turn off a bit you XOR the number (might be wise to | first just to make sure it was switched on in the first place as ^ toggles the bits).
