No. There was not a single capital, and only one question mark at the end. I refuse to read your post until you've learned to type like an adult.

If you're 14, then do your parents know that you're playing an M rated game with subjects like torture?
No, I'm not joking. Typing like that is like talking like you're drunk. It's disrespectful. Somebody else will probably help you, though.

Then they're bad parents who should care more about your upbringing.

Ha ha, don't worry about Cranky Old Man, he occasionally trolls (perhaps too many young in's won't get off his lawn?)

As for your problem, it sounds like you'll need to use a global variable (not something I'm very familiar with). If you are familiar with any type of variables, my limited understanding of globals leads me to believe that you can set them up just like normal (local) variables, except you can call them in other maps.

An alternate solution is you could make a copy of the map you want to change, then make the changes. Keep the door allowing the player to go back to that area locked until the player has triggered the event, then allow them to go back to the area that is now "changed" (which is the copy of the original map+changes).

The pro's of doing it this way is that you can alter static objects and not just entities.

Sorry if that didn't really make sense, but your original question lacked enough detail for me to give you much more than that.

haha thanks for the info fucking cranky man i dont think he has given me one usefull peice of information ever but thanks for the help

Yeah, you can and probably should use global variables. You declare them usually in your first level's .hps file. You can create a bool global variable and set it to false (at declaration). Then, whenever your player does whatever they need to do to get the old map to change, set your global variable to true.

Once this is done, you go to your OnEnter() function and check to see if you are entering with the global variable being "true". You can do this with an if-statement. If it's true, then activate whatever needs activating.

If I'm not mistaken the global variables are declared in a seperate .hps
