Make an area at some point (just befor the door or something) and and put the leveldoor or swingdoor at locked and so when the player touches the area you activate (unlock with swingdoor) the unactive leveldoor that does teleport you to the next map. if you know what I mean. use this script you do have to fill in some names though but I'll highlighted them.
Spoiler below!

OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_1", "haslantern", true, 1);
}
void haslantern(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
if(HasItem("Lantern"))
{
SetEntityActive("THEOPENABLEDOORNAME", true);
SetEntityActive("THENOTWORKINGDOOR", false);
}
}

all you have to do further is to put a message on the not opanable door that says something like"I think I should take the lantern with me" if you have any questions be sure to ask Big Grin

You should have the level door start off as locked, and have the locked message inform the player that the lantern is needed to progress. Then use an interaction callback on the lantern to unlock the door when the player picks up the lantern.

Damn that's way easier. I think I was just thinking to complicated at the moment.
