    Is there a way?Started by:Stone, Oct/30/14 08:48 PM
    So I'm programming my place, and I now
    have a question. Is there any way I can
    make a contraption that takes place in
    one room work as a contrivance in
    another? Example: You're in a room.
    You open a dresser and find a key on a
    page within said room. Bec
