Help with exit/event

Hello. Is there a way to make it that if the player enters a room a second time, an event can happen?

like, if the player enters a room for the first time, a door is open.

But if the player enters the room a second time, the door is closed and remains to be closed upon other entries.

When the game starts, have a variable set to 0. Then just call a function that sets it to 1 in whatever your "event" code is that needs it to change. Then just do if statements to check if it's zero or 1 and set the tiles accordingly. If you want it to trigger when the player sets foot in a certain room you can do a simple room name check by using event.room "name" then nest the if statements.

Then in you could use the draw function or similar to swap tiles based on that room name check.

on load do
EnterRoom=0
end

on SomeFunction do
if event.room=="RoomName" then
      if EnterRoom==0 then
            tell "door" to
           call "FunctionThatDoesASwapInDoorItem"
            end
      elseif EnterRoom==1 then
      //do something else
      end
   end
end
end

I think that's what you were asking?

You can't do "swap" if the tile is not on screen, otherwise it displays in the current room not in the correct one, so swaps have to be done when the room is loaded using that kind of room check.

I think what you’d want to do is just add an enter event handler to this room’s script. Something like:

on enter do
    if visits>0 then
        tell door_x,door_y to // door_x and door_y are the coordinates of the door you want to close
            swap “closed door” // “closed door” is the name of your closed door tile, a solid Sprite or World tile
        end
    end
    visits += 1
end
