I'm making a game where the player can walk around using the arrow keys, and I want them to be able to walk into buildings. So I want the background to change when they step in front of the door to enter the building

This script will also allow the player to exit the building.
For the player:

when  clicked
forever
if touching door ▼
?
if building
=outside
set building ▼
 to inside
if building
=inside
set building ▼
 to outside

For the Stage:

when  clicked
forever
if building
=outside
switch to background outside ▼
if building
=inside
switch to background inside ▼

I hope that's clear.

even more simple big_smile

when it touches the door and the backround changes, be sure to make it go to the correct position.

You guys are missing something: The stage treats the reporter as a number, so even if you name your costume that, it doesn't matter. Fixed. smile

For the purposes of the thread, and for simplicity and clarity in the project, I think mine will cause the least confusion.

It WILL work it it's a word, I just tried it.

but with numbers, it could be even more simple:

when  clicked
set building ▼
 to 0
forever if touching door ▼
?
set building ▼
 to 1
-building
when  clicked
forever
switch to costume building

Costume numbering in scratch begins at 1, so, though your script could be applied, it is counter intuitive, so you should set "building" to 1 originally and replace "1-building" with "(3)-(building)"

The (potential) problem with all the scripts above is that, if you're touching the door for too long. If this is a problem, use this:

when  clicked
set buildiing ▼
 to 1
forever if touching door ▼
?
set building ▼
 to 3
-building
wait until nottouching door ▼
?
when  clicked
forever
switch to costume building

Of course, if there are only two costumes, it is even easier:

when  clicked
forever if touching door ▼
?
broadcast change ▼
wait until nottouching door ▼
?
When I Receive change ▼
next costume

Can you maybe make this and upload it? I don't understand

We've been assuming that you're storing the interior of the building as a costume in the background, and that the door itself is a sprite. Basically, whenever the user touches the door it changes the costume that the background is currently in. A more universal script (just realized you probably have more than one building) would be this:

when  clicked
forever
whatever your current movement script is
iftouching door1 ▼
?
broadcast enter building 1 ▼
 and wait
go to x:starting x position for building 1
 y:starting y position for building 1
iftouching door2 ▼
?
broadcast enter building 2 ▼
 and wait
go to x:starting x position for building 2
 y:starting y position for building 2
etc.

And for the stage:

when I receive enter building 1 ▼
switch to costume building 1 ▼
when I receive enter building 2 ▼
switch to costume building 2 ▼
