help with switches i believe(in events) (RESOLVED)

so here is my scenario.

i have 2 rooms Outside NS and Registration Tent.

Outside has 2 guards blocking the entrance to Inside NS. They will not let you enter until you have registered (register is just choosing a name and such.)

When you go to the tent, you talk to the Registrar character and it is suppose to send a call to the guards to move out of the way.

how would i call this? i've tried so many ways it's funked up...

Here's what you need to do:

For the registry event:

For the guards event:

Page 2 in both events is simply stating the switches are on (and showing the graphic you want). So in the registry event, it has switch 1 on, and the guard it has switch 2 on. This is so the events remember they have already been run.

Cheers.
 
Thanks I will try that out, what's the 2nd switch for exactly? first one is understandable, will they STAY like that afterwards so i don't have to do this over and over everytime i see these AI?
 
The second switch Nolund has used is for the second event page on the guards, and stops them moving again.
But rather than using a regular switch for that second one, it would be better to use a self switch so your regular switches arent used up.
 
if i sent someone a copy of what i did could u tell me specifically what i did wrong? :) not do the work for me, can do it and show me where i screwed up, but i wanna do the work myself. just wanna have someone take a look at how messy mine is...

You can just post screenshots, and we'll be able to assist you.

@Kuidon:

I literally threw that together just to show what to do. Typically I'd use a Self Switch too, but I wasn't thinking much when I did that, just wanted to get something put together that works.
 
i would throw it up as SS's but i did alot of crap and you'd probably be able to see the issues and description of what i mean more clearly if u dloaded it. possible you'd help?
 
well i just wanted someone to look at what i did BEFORE i got help, and Nolund looked and explained it for me, Thanks for all the quick responses everyone and thanks for the help.
 

Thank you for viewing
