Okay thankyou very much D'L, I will give this a try over the next few days if possible. Really appreciate your help.

Animation interplay
Re: Animation interplay
Okay, I've tried adding the necessary code for my first animation as a test but it doesn't seem to cope with saving colour states. Truth is I am out of my depth so think I will resort to making a plea for coding help on the Python forum page....

You are missing the xAgeSDLBoolRespond pythonfilemod. You are toggling the sdl state but there is nothing to respond to it. In effect this is still the old situation.
Your modifier actions should only contain pythonfilemods. Remove the responder from the actions and add it to the xAgeSDLBoolRespond pythonfilemod.
The global python file xAgeSDLBoolRespond requires 2 responders btw.
For a one way toggle you can use xAgeSDLBoolSet instead of xAgeSDLBoolToggle. The parameters for xAgeSDLBoolSet are:
This will always set the sdl value to 1 and not toggle it.
You will still need a second responder for xAgeSDLBoolRespond though. You must make a responder with a full reversed animation since this is the key for saving the state. This reversed responder is run in fast forward mode at link in!

Re: Animation interplay
Okay, I feel like I am making some headway with the code updates for the first simple push-button triggered animation, and yet I cannot get even the doorbuttontouch animation to work despite the cursur being poised ready to click. I have followed the code given and looked at the code on http://www.guildofwriters.com/wiki/Savi ... %27_States, but still no success. Please tell me where it is going wrong: 
(I haven't included all the animation code for each object). One line is commented out because it differs between versions of the code but I tried with and without.
Also D'L, for the BoolSet alternative where is the responder triggered? There are 2 for xAgeSDLBoolRespond but seemingly none for xAgeSDLBoolSet so how does it know whihc animations to trigger?
THANKS

THANKS
I only have a few minutes so I cannot look at your full alcscript but I can answer this.
Neither xAgeSDLBoolSet nor xAgeSDLBoolToggle are triggering any responders. They only change sdl states. That is why you also need xAgeSDLBoolRespond in order to run responders when the sdl changes.

Re: Animation interplay
There is a fatal indentation error around where your - cmds: come in.

Re: Animation interplay
I think the indentation error is only in the pasted code (seems I cannot get it to paste correctly even on a second attempt).
Any other thoughts about where the problem might lie?
Thanks!!
