Right in my game at the moment, its imperative that i can talk to someone behind bars ( Im in a prison ) is it possible to do that?

ONE OTHER THING: I have a closed gate that is locked, and and open gate.

How do i change the one gate to the other?
Is it some visible property?

Many thanks

Hmmm.... this is a tough one to answer. Perhaps use of the MESSAGE BUTTON will help! Also opening a gate is rather easy to, SWITCHES MY FRIEND! Use switches!

Well to solve your prison problem you simply either edit the prison bars in the database so they are on Countertop, (same goes with tables, booths and stuff) or just make an invisible event outside the bars but in front of the guy behind them, set the event to action key, then have your message saying "Hi, why you in prison Blah Blah Blah"

Uh could you make all of that abit step by step?

Gah, its not rocket science, even for newbies!

Step 1: Make an invisible event out side prison cell but infron of prisoner.
Step 2: Set the event to action key!
Step 3: Make a message on the event saying whatever you want it to say.
Step 4: Your done!

And for the gate.

Step 1: Make a gate graphic.
Step 2: Set the event to action key.
Step 3: Make a switch, call it something like gate open.
Step 4: Make a new page.
Step 5: On the new page set the event graphic to an open gate and the switch preconditon "Gate Open" ON
Step 6: Your done!

(My that was hard)

STILL need hlep with this gate thing!

gate thing okies:

1. make a new event where you want the gat with the graphic of your gate closed

2. click new page and make the graphic be of the gate open

3. on the 2nd page set the preconditions that switch: (whatever number you want): gate is ON

now whenever that switch is on the gate will eb open whenever it is off then the gate is closed

Optional:

make a dsiplay message command saying "the gate is closed" or whatever

Make sure you have a switch activating the same switch (the precondition) on the 2nd page, or else nothing will happen. Make sure you followed ahref's instructions exactly, because that's how you do it.
