Help with programming this please!
So I'm making a game, not going into detail, but the point is is that you're underwater and i have a fish swim back and forth on the screen, in this water room, there are 3 doors, you enter them by pressing 1, 2, or 3, you don't have to touch the doors, which is what i want. anyways, when i leave the water room, the fish won't disappear. I've tried lots of stuff to get it to disappear when i press 1, 2, or 3. One time i actually got the fish to disappear when i left the room, but sadly, it wouldn't come back when i pressed 4 to return to the water room. Here is how i had the coding before i deleted the fish, i really want to bring the fish back:
<when I receive[ Lvl 8
<repeat until> <( <{ Lvl }> <=> 9 )>
<if> << <not> <( <{ Room }> <=> << 4 )> >>
<show>
<repeat until> <( <{ Room }> <=> 4 )>
<glide( 5 )secs to x 
? )y ?
<switch to costume[ 2
<glide( 5 )secs to x blah )y blah
<switch to costume[ 1
<else>
<hide>
<end>

Re: Help with programming this please!
I still don't get what exactly you want...do you want to make it so you have to choose the correct door or something? But then, what's the point of the fish?
I'll help if you give me a little more detail about what you want the game to be like.

Re: Help with programming this please!
ok, so there are four rooms, you start in room 1 with 3 doors, these doors lead to 2, 3, and 4. in roon 4, it is flooded and i want to show it by having a fish in it that moves. When i go to room 4, it appears like i want it to, but when i leave back to any of the other rooms, it's still swimming across the screen...

Re: Help with programming this please!
This should work, assuming you want it to show and move while the room is 4. The only problem is that it won't hide immediately once the room switches; it will finish moving, then hide. I can fix that if you want, but it will involve a slightly more complex script.
Does that work? Tell me if it does!

Oh, okay! I guess I didn't understand your problem at first. I was confused, actually, because I didn't really change anything... I'll post the script in a minute. Just let me get it working...

Re: Help with programming this please!
Oh, one question, do you want the sprite to point at the destination, or just slide? (I can get it working either way. I just way to know your preference, because it needs to work differently depending on what you want.)

whenever i make it point in to the left the fish is upsidedown facing that way, so i just made a second costume of him facing that way instead of using directions
