switches in zdoom

Hello
I'd like to make a switch that executes a script if you have a yellow keycard, and print "you need a key" if you don't. So far, so good, but i don't want this switch to "activate" if you don't have the card, just print the message. Can this be done?

OK, here's an example for you.

We'll have this in your behaviour behavior lump (bloody American spelin):

#include "zcommon.acs"

bool gotkey = false

script 1 (void)
{
gotkey = true
}

script 2 (void)
{
if(gotkey)
{
// Open your door here.
} else {
print(s:"You need a key!");
}
}

I think that would work. Next, you have to make the key execute script 1 when picked up (special 80 - second tab in the thing properties if you're using Doom builder) and make the switch execute script 2.

Tell me how it all goes!

I know. That's why I crossed it out.
