Playing an animation for opening a door

Hmm sounds like a case for states

Or good ole Select Case of state in this case. hehe, err sorry.

Simply have a state variable that gets set for each step then feed that into a select case, in this instance 2 steps with the first state set by entering the hotspot.

Global doorstate = 0  ; not waiting for a door to open

If ((playerx=-287) And (playery=5) And (playerz > 229) And (playerz<250)) Then
   doorstate = 1
End If
doortest()

Function doortest()
    If doorstate = 0 Then
       Return
    Else
       Select doorstate
            Case 1:  ;start player animation at door
                 Animate player_hero,3,10,7
                 doorstate = 2
                 Return
            Case 2:  ; ok see if still animating
                 If Not Animating(player)Then
                     ; if not start opening door
                      doorstate = 0
                       For door1_number#=1 To 90 Step 0.1                  
                         RotateEntity door1,0,door1_number#,0
                       Next

                 EndIf
                 Return
			Default
     End Select
   End If
End Function

Well not sure if this will run, But I think it will give the idea.

Oh yea and if doorstate is not 0 then dont allow player controls.
