Door opening animation?

[babytiny5]

I'd like to make my door switch to another sprite (from closed to open) when entering it, but nothing seems to be working anymore. I used to do this on the free version of 2k3 but that doesn't want work on this version.

It used to involve 2 pages, one with the closed door sprite and a second with the open sprite. The second page would have a switch requirement, which the first page would turn on, then transfer the player and switch it off again. No luck this time.

Any tips? It's such a simple mechanism but nothing seems to work now. I've tried setting the door's movement route so that it 'faces' the direction that the open sprite is on, but no luck there either.

Help appreciated.

You can do the door animation without even using a script.
on the "set move route" command, you can change the appearance of "this event" (in this case, the dcoor itself" so it can change its charset, and then turn to get through some animation.

And once you're changed map, the door will revert to its original appearance, which is closed.

Thanks, going to use that method.

Turns out I also needed to add a wait timer of 0.1 in order for the graphic to change before the transition.
