Alright heres the deal:

I'm using the Catacombs wad.

I've got a door, a puzzle hole, and a puzzle piece.
I can get the puzzle piece to fit in the slot, but how can I get the puzzle piece once inserted in the puzzle hole to open the door?
Also, once the puzzle piece has been inserted how can I trigger an audio to play.

Plus! how can I trigger a fixed camera to show the door opening?

I know you must think I'm stupid for asking so many questions! but...
I can trigger doors to open with a switch, but this is different!

Help!

you just simply set the audio on the same square as the puzzle hole and for the fixed camera you do the same.so when you insert the puzzle piece the audio wil play and the camera will go on hope it works

Make sure you make the trigger a "Puzzel" trigger.

Place the trigger for the door, camera, camera target and the sound FX on the same trigger square as the puzzel trigger.

Use a regular camera. Make sure you make the trigger for the camera target is a "target" trigger.

When Lara places the puzzel piece in the hole, everything gets triggered.

All of your triggers should be placed on the square directly in front of the puzzle hole.
And be sure the trigger for the puzzle hole is a KEY type trigger.

OK heres how I do it
first after you place the puzzle hole select it then click on the square on the floor under the puzzle hole and press the pink trigger button after that click in the trigger box and drop down the trigger type window and select key and click okay then drop down the object window and select cd and click okay and type a number for the audio track to be played from the audio folder in the trle folder on your hard drive
make sure you hit return after you type the number then click okay to close the trigger window as for the camera place the camera in front of the door about 7 or 8 clicks from the ceiling make sure the camera is selected and set the trigger on the same square as the puzzle hole then place the camera target
on the square in front of the door select the camera target then select the square in front of the puzzle hole and click the trigger button then open the trigger window again and drop down the object window and select target click okay then okay again and you should be all set I hope that helps
