I tried to make the key and the door an active object. But the character walks through the door regardless of the key. any suggestions would be kind thank you Nash* quaz

I take you must have collected the key in order to open the door? Then it should be something like: Collision between player and door + key has not been destroyed (or key value is 0 or whatever) ---> stop player (or bounce) Collision between player and door + key has been destroyed (or key value is 1) ----> destroy door (and dont stop or bounce player) ...

For the key I have set it so it activates the key icon. That seems to work. the key is set to destroy. The problem is the character just wipes the door out when it passes through. I'm not sure why this is. quaz

First off, at the start of the level, set the door's alterable value A to 0. Then, when the player has the key, set alterable value A to (any number besides 0, but we'll go with 1). Now for the collision. If the door's alterable value A = 0, and player collides with the door, then the player will bounce. Here's how it works. Basically, you've made the door's Alterable Value A like an on/off switch. When the player picks up the key, it switches alterable Value A to 1, which basically means you can unlock the door now. But if you don't have the key, it stays at 0, which means you can't pass. Also yeah, I like your pixel art. Good stuff. An old and washed up once-kid

I know MMF does Anyway, flags are the real on/off switches of the programming world. Turn Flag 1 on when the player has the key. Turn it off when they lose it. Then if Flag 1 is on when they overlap the door, it opens. It's pretty much the same thing as what werewoof wrote, but it's a bit simpler that tway.

Very usual thing helps with enemy health lol. Your graphics remind me of Dizzy for some strange reason, which is a awesome thing. Edited by Poobical
