Resetting doors in the Elite Four rooms

[mde2001]

I am trying to program the elite four and it is working mostly. I can make it so that the elite four are battled again if the trainer lost by using the temporary switch but the doors don't reset (eg. the entrance stays closed and the door to the next room remains opened).

I was wondering how I get the self switches to turn off for the doors when the player blacks out.

Thanks for any help.

I would have it turn off all the door switches when you walk back into the room, that should work.

I have an idea:

For doors walking into a room, you could make a variable (let's say A). Starting at zero with all doors open, you step into the room and an event pulls you forward and increases that variable by one. So you set the door close event to turn on when variable A=1 for the first room, 2 for the second etc.

Similar thing for opening the door to the next room, but have that variable (variable B let's say) increase by one after the Elite four member of that room is defeated.

Then, in the conditional branch of each of the elite four battle, have a consequence of if they lose the battle be that each of these variables is reset back to zero.

I haven't tried this but seems logical?

Or just use temp switches for the doors rather than self switches, just like the NPC does. I've fixed the example map in Essentials to do exactly this and it works just fine.
