when you walk up to them the  door's will move event  this event move left wait move left wait
move event  this event move right wait move right wait at the same time
so they look like they been opened
then they stop then when you walk out of the door the
move event left door this event move right wait move right wait
then move right door event  this event move left wait move left wait at the same time
so they look like they are not opened
but i for got how to do this

I need to think a bit more on this. I ended up with doors that decided to move away across the walls.

[lonewolf]

you need 4 event's to make it all work
1st event is for left door to move
2nd event is to stop left moving all the way across the wall
3rd is to move the right door
4th is to stop right door moving all the way across the wall
the left door is working ok know
but thre right door goe's a way on the map when you open it ?

are you doing this in rm2k3 or XP? if you're in rm2k3, you can do this really easily like this:



using this charset, create 6 events: door_left1, door_left2, door_mid1, door_mid2, door_right1, and door_right2.

set all of their animation types to Fixed graphic.

door_left1 should have the first character, left walking position, facing up
door_left2 should have the first character, left walking position, facing right
door_mid1 should have the first character, middle walking position, facing up
door_mid2 should have the first character, middle walking position, facing right
door_right1 should have the first character, right walking position, facing up
door_right2 should have the first character, right walking position, facing right

like this:



now make door_mid2 activate upon being touched by the hero

make a move event that causes door_left1 to face down, change graphic to the fifth character, face up, then face down, like this: (your call on frequency, 6 or 7 seemed best to me)



now copy the move event and paste it twice, and change the events acted upon to door_mid1 and door_right1

then, make another move event that acts upon door_left2. make it the same frequency as the other move events

it should face left, change graphic to character 5, face right, then face left.

now copy and paste it twice, changing the events acted upon to door_mid2 and door_right2

add a wait command for 3 or 4 tenths of a second, so you can't run into the door while it's opening

now add a switch operation to turn on some switch, say, door1_switch.

add a new page to all six events, where the switch condition is door1_switch, and they are below hero.

So your door_mid2 event commands should say:

<>Move Event: door_left1, Face Down, Change Graphic, Face Up, Face Down
<>Move Event: door_mid1, Face Down, Change Graphic, Face Up, Face Down
<>Move Event: door_right1, Face Down, Change Graphic, Face Up, Face Down
<>Move Event: door_left2, Face Left, Change Graphic, Face Right, Face Left
<>Move Event: door_mid2, Face Left, Change Graphic, Face Right, Face Left
<>Move Event: door_right2, Face Left, Change Graphic, Face Right, Face Left
<>Wait 0.4 Sec
<>Switch Operation: [0001: door1_switch]  ON

now, when you walk up to the door, the two sides will move apart, and you can walk through.

However, you will need a beam or something in your second layer to put over the top of the door, to maintain the right perspective, as shown here:



hopefully this helped, but if you're using XP, i'm sure there's an alternative.

[lonewolf]

you made it the way i needed it
thank's for your help and yes it is for rm2k
as thats the only one i like
funny thing is i made the door way you made it lol

[Prpl_Mage]

Yepp, that's the alternative I was thinking about as well.
But maybe try to remove that brown part in the middle so the ground tiles can be seen behind it.

[lonewolf]

the way i need is like this


but the 2nd door when you go to open it goes missing ?
so i need a way they can move at the same
time when you walk up to the doors
they open at the same time ?
is there a way to do this

[Rayonius]

Sorry for a bit of a late response there lonewolf, but i hope this works.

make two events for each door; door1a and door1b on the left, door2a and door2b on the right. 

door1a should be to the left of door1b, and the same for door2a and door2b.

make all events activate upon collision with hero (or maybe touched by hero, whichever works better).
Now add two switches, door1_switch and door2_switch. when door1a is activated, make two move events:
<>Move Event: This event, move left     and
<>Move Event: door1b, move right, door1_switch ON

Do the same for door1b, except 
<>Move Event: This event, move right    and
<>Move Event: door1a, move left, door1_switch ON

Do the same for door2a and door2b. 
Now make a new page on door1a and door1b with condition door1_switch = on, and for door2a & door2b with condition door2_switch = on.

Also be sure that the events are set to locked facing.

i'm digging that chipset btw.
