I have a door, and want to open it by pulling three pulleys in a row. The Manual says first to put a trigger for each pulley, and set mode to Switch. Then to place door triggers on the same squares as the pulley triggers, and set up code bits. I did it exactly that way, but I either got an error message "Cannot overlap special triggers", or when I set up code bits, the same would be highlighted on all the door triggers and no matter what I changed it would stay like that. And that really pi**es me off! Is it just me or the Level Editor is full of bugs? Or might the Manual be wrong?

However, when I use only one pulley to open the door, it works just fine.

you have to set the code bits for the switch triggers and not the door triggers

Also catlantean..... make sure that between the 3 switch triggers ALL 5 code bits are set, that is for example bit 1 on the first switch, bit 2 on the second and 3-5 on the third......

Did you try checking room 147 in the Catacombs project as suggested in the manual? It only takes a second to load a project and most often it is easier to figure something out by looking at an example rather than just reading about it...
