just use a second walkable area beyond the fence and disable that walkable area until the task is complete then restore it.

[matty]

[Quintaros]

RemoveWalkableArea
RestoreWalkableArea

that pic thing u can have beside your name thats
rad how doooooooou u do that

[Quintaros]

define some variable in your global script to represent whether or not the required task to remove the fence is complete:

int task;
task=0;

at the end of your global script export the variable:

export task;

in your script header import the variable so your script for the room with the fence can see the task variable, as well as whatever room the actions to complete the task are in:

import task int;

when the tasks are complete set the task equal to 1 (I'm not sure which script would be the appropriate place for this):

task=1;

now in your room with fence script create an if statement to look at the task variable and determine if the walkable area should be on or off:

if(task==0){
RemoveWalkableArea(2);
}else{
RestoreWalkableArea(2);
}

where the 2nd walkable area is the one beyond the fence.

I think that should work perhaps with a little tweaking.

im new here but; how about giving the player an inventory item when he completes all the tasks he needs to have done to remove the wall, and making the walkable area conditional on have-ing this inventory item....or failing that place a region at the fence that transfers the player to another room when he has that item, and have that room on the other side of the fence..or somthing along those lines.?
