Alright, let me explain. There are 4 switches, and they all need to be activated in a certain order to escape an area. I do know how to program this part, but when I try to program it, it simply goes to the 4th switch I have whenever I enter the room. The only variable I used in the RPG is the naming variable, so I don't know about the variable system very much.

You're all going to bash my noobishness, But any comments would be useful.

You should probably post a few screenshots of your events or atleast explain them a bit more indepth. Like what do you mean that only the 4th one activates, are they all meant to activate when you enter the room and what's the variable being used for? =P Just those kinds of things, then I'm sure people will be able to help you. Right now it's a tad confusing.

Pic 1
This picture shows the whole level. You can probably see the 4 switches upon pedestals. You need to activate all 4 to get out of this chamber. I also edited one of the tiles so you could walk on it. (Remember, I'm not very good with graphics, so bear with me.)

Pic 2
Pic 2 shows the switch event. It is basically the same for the 4 other switches, except the switch for it is different (eg. Second for another switch, third for another switch, ect.)

Pic 3
Pic 3 is the teleport event. As you flick all 4 switches, the last page of the event is a teleportation event, but for some reason, the event goes automatically to page 4. That's the problem.

Edit: As of now, the 1st pic doesn't look like the level. It's just a beta, anyway.

Can you post all four pages in the teleport event? Since it is in that the problem is it is probably easier to start there.

I notice in the 3rd picture that the first page requires the switch "first"...Make a page before that, a page that requires no switches and doesn't do anything. The event shouldn't jump to the last page right away.

Alright sir, I think you need this...
Example pic
Take a look here. You need to make four conditional branch (or forks)
Inside one another. They don't need ELSE statements. In the forth Fork,
Put the action you'd like to happen in it's branch.
Make sure you make the trigger for the event parallel.

If you don't understand the image, I can upload another with
pic with whatever you want in it (If I know how.)

Hope this helps.

I tried 7evenstich's idea, and it worked. Thank you.

Now, since I am a noob with this forum, how do I lock the thread?

Just ask a member of staff- and when you get to revolutionary you will be able to lock your own...
