Have you tried to find a similar set up in the example levels? Also it is hard to help you when you don't give more specific information about what you are trying to accomplish. I know it is frustrating when things don't work.....to make a door open with a key you have to set the door trigger as a key (in the set trigger type window)...make sure you set the trigger for the door, then designate it as a key trigger. If it still doesn't work, please tell me which WAD you are using and the name of the object, then how you set up your triggers and I will try to find out what is going wrong!

Okay, I know that I'm supposed to make it a key trigger, and I did, and it still didn't work. I'm using the Coastal Ruins wads, and the object's are as follows:

Door: Door_type3 (I think that's how you spell it, if it's not, it's the gate with the head on it with the lock on it.)

Key: Key_Item10

Key hole: Key_Hole10

Load up coastal.prj and go to room 129. Is your key_hole set up like this one? (In other words, is key_hole10 'dummy' object placed in front of the door?) If you click on the triggers (from the Plan View Grid) you will notice that the door has a normal trigger in this case, but the key_hole10 trigger is the one set to 'key'. If you set the door trigger as a key, which is normally what you would do, this would explain why your door wouldn't open when Lara used the key. If this wasn't the problem, make sure you have set a trigger for both the door and the key_hole10. Since the key_hole is a special trigger, the door trigger doesn't activate until Lara uses the 'key' but the door still has to have its own trigger.
