Basically, I'd say to read them all and take what you learned to make your own. Or just follow the instructions directly and edit it to fit your game.. whichever is easiest for you.

Oh... Sry i meant 1 that would help me sort out using keys doors things like on a Zelda game...

Keys and doors? If you're using a variable or items for the keys themselves (just like the generic "keys" of Zelda) then you would just have an event for the door.

--------

Page 1 - Closed Door
No preconditions
Trigger Condition: Touched By Hero
Event Layer: Same as Hero

Pseudocode:

<> Conditional branch: Keys > 0
___<>Take away 1 key
___<> Set switch "xxxx:Open Door 001" ON
___<> Play some sort of sound effect
___<>
:End
<>

--------

Page 2 - Open Door
Precondition: "xxxx:Open Door 001" is ON
Trigger Condition: Touched By Hero
Event Layer: Below Hero

Pseudocode:

<> Teleport to next area
<>

This will help thanx. But could u help with switches (not switches that stop things) that u push to open doors and pushing a blok onto a pad to open a door plz.

[BlueCube]

...Switches to open doors? That's basically the same as using a key. You just make the opening-door-switch in one event, (On Key Press, <>Turn switch xxxx:OPEN 001 ON) and the door in another, with 2 pages (one closed, on open with the precondition OPEN 001 is ON)

-------------

As to pushing a block onto a pad, that's actually pretty simple. The block itself would have this line for moving:

<> Move Event - This Event, Face Away From Hero, Move Forward

Then you'd just have it store its X/Y location in two variables (BlockX/BlockY):

<> Variable Oper: [0001:BlockX] Set, This Event X Coord
<> Variable Oper: [0001:BlockY] Set, This Event Y Coord

...which are then compared to wherever you want the block to end up, using a simple nested branch. If they're the same, you set a switch which opens a door event.
