I've got some doors in my map that check the distance of the player, and when in range if the player presses the E key, it runs some commands. Now... it's running without keyboard input. The first door works fine, waits until you press E. But in the next level the door triggers without the keyboard input.
if(vec_dist(camera.x,my.x) < 40)
{
VECTOR temp; ANGLE temp2;
vec_diff(temp,my.x,camera.x);
vec_to_angle(temp2,temp);
if((ang(temp2.pan-camera.pan) < 45) && (ang(temp2.pan-camera.pan) > -45)) //test visibility so vec_to_screen doesn't display when facing opposite
{
VECTOR* vTextpos = vector(my.x,my.y,my.z);
vec_to_screen(vTextpos,camera); // convert to screen coordinates
if(vTextpos != NULL)
{
if(items >= 2) // item collected?
{
draw_text("Press E to open the door",vTextpos.x,vTextpos.y,vector(0,0,255));
if(key_e)
{
snd_play(door,100,0);
my.skill10 = 1; // terminate loop and run level_load at end of function
}
}
else
{
draw_text("You're missing a required item",vTextpos.x,vTextpos.y,vector(0,0,255));
}
}
}
}

How did you call the function? Like this? If that was the last function called in your first level, it's possible the key press carried over to the start of your next level. Add these lines to the start of your door function (both doors) and see if it helps
while(key_e){wait(1);}
//wait for the key to be released before running the function

That's a function call... You have to assign it linke this: on_e = door_function;

action ...
{
while(1)
{
if(vec_dist(my.x,player.x) < 32)
{
if(key_e)
level_load
...
The thing is (I might be wrong) that all instructions in those brackets (key_e) will run till loop is actually running. You don't want to change your level endlessly, right? You could insert 'break' after 'level_load', but that's not a good idea (probably), but it will work for sure! Greets

If it is an action it will be terminated by the level_load anyways. So no need for break, return or whatever...
Always learn from history, to be sure you make the same mistakes again...

Normalization is always a good idea. Normalize till it hurts, denormalize until it hurts. Put re-usable things in separate functions and then call them from other actions/functions. You could store the name of the next level as a global parameter in each level then pass the name of the next level into your key_e function each time. If my post needs further explanation or some sample code, I'll be glad to oblige.

i see you switching this to 1
my.skill10 = 1;
but in your else clause I do not see you switching
it to =0 .
I did not read the rest , I assumed thats your run
status switch. ..
