Hi guys.
I bump this old thread because I have exactly the same problem whilst building Black Crypt doors: the buttons should have alternate states when you click on them, but doing it with cloned doorbuttons brings these strange problems described by Gambit.
I actually just found a solution (working for Black Crypt-like buttons), but it makes editing harder and generates warnings when compiling the dungeon...
- I cloned a doorbutton and gave it the normal state Black Crypt gfx (state 1). It converts on click into the "doorbutton state 2" and activates a relay.
- Since in BC the alternate gfx of the doorbutton (state 2) only stays for 1 second, this relay swaps the doorbuttons state 2 into doorbuttons state 1 after this delay.
- For the doorbutton state 2, I did not cloned a doorbutton but a basic flooritem: a "crack".
Doing this, you avoid the problem described by Gambit. But...
-
Doorframes hide basic flooritems: you won't see the doorbutton state 2.
So I cloned a crack again to make a "fake" doorframe. You actually need 2 fake doorframes: one for North-South oriented doors, one for West-East oriented. For the N-S one, the gfx "front0" only appears if facing North or South, and NULL appears if facing West or East. Since these are not "true" doorframes, you get a warning: "no doorframe for this door".

This actually won't work for the problem described by Gambit: his alternate state should also be a doorbutton... A solution would be to build it as I did and to use it as a lever "toggling" the choosen door... Makes editing even harder than for me... But saying that, it could be a manner to build some riddles
So... did anybody found another solution to this problem?
