Barriers, Buttons, and Flags OH MY!

What I want to accomplish:

The Rock Barrier is open at the start of the level.
On entering a certain spot (flag), the barrier shall close.
To get the barrier open, Ferazel pushes a button.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this? Thankx

I suppose that I could put a button outside of the barrier, barrier opens, button is released, barrier closes, but that seems redundent somehow.

Okay let's break this down to 3 seperate problems:

(list=1)
()Making the Rock Barrier open at the start of the level.
(
)Using a Flag to close the rock barrier. Can a Flag open a rock barrier?
(*)Button is pressed to open the barrier. < - I can do this one.
(/list=a)
Any ideas on 1 & 2?

Yes you can have a rock barrier open in the start of a level. Simply put a moveable rock on top of the switch to open it. No, to my knowledge, flags cannot effect rock barriers. You can however use a conversation to open a rock barrier but bear in mind that this will open all rock barriers in the level that have 0 has their first info field. This is purposful for instance if you are forcing a player to visit every realm before entering the last even though its enterance is available thoughtout the game (a make em return to the beginning approach). You simply make the conversation check for the flags found perhaps at the end of each boss level and if all are set, open the door. A conversation may open a rock barrier by making the action ID #6 the first info field 0 and the second info field 3. Does that make any sense?

Yes it does. I'll store that in the memory banks, but for what I'm doing now, I guess the ol' releasing button before the barrier trick will work. It's too bad 2 buttons can't control 1 barrier. Oh well, the joys of running up against the game engine. 😄
