All I want is to make it so that when a certain door, hits a certain frame, it changes a certain surface's adjoin and surface flags. For some reason, though, it just isn't working.

SetAdjoinFlags(floor, 0x7);
SetSurfaceFlags(floor,0x1001);

Those are the commands i'm using for the surface flags change. Yes, I have everything defined and stuff in the symbols section. Could someone maybe show me how to get the
frame = GetCurFrame(thing);
command to work for me? I'm not exactly sure how it would work, so I'm pretty sure that's where my prob is.... Thanks!


(Ohh... when I finish learning TrueBasic... and then finish Learning C/C++....then you'll be sorry...or happy, cuz you won't have to answer my questions )

this is the code without the getthingframe or whatever, but i'm late for school right now, so I can't add that in. I'll do it when I get back.

if (getcurframe(door1) != 1)
{

SetAdjoinFlags(floor, 0x7);
SetSurfaceFlags(floor,0x1001);

}

Please tell me if that will work, and if so, where do I put it?

Are you using all 4 doors in your script? Or do you need just one?

if(GetCurFrame(door1) != 1)
{
SetAdjoinFlags(floor, 0x7);
SetSurfaceFlags(floor,0x1001);
}

Yeah that would be right, not sure if it's necessary. Try putting your 2 lines in the end of the activated: message, right after the 2 garbage lines.

Hmm.. that didn't work..

Hahah, oh wait, yes it did!

So now how can I get it to change back? Where would it put it THEN?

To reverse them? Try putting them (with changed paramaters) at the end of close_doors:
