So im trying to make something
basicly when u open the pc it asks you if you want to start and closes a iron door
then it starts asking questions and then u awnser them one by one
after u finished it opens a door for 5 seconds
then restarts

Good. Now why don't you tell us the problem, and give us your code. This community is pretty awesome, but we haven't achieved psychic abilities yet.

[CardingiSFun]

Well i dont know where to start im new to cc and i know a little bit thats all

[Fatal_Exception]

Yeah. The purpose of this forum is to help people with their code, not to write entire programs for them with no effort on the OP's part.

That's actually a fairly simple script to write, considering it doesn't sound like you need major security on it. I assume this is for something like an adventure map?
Take a look at some of the password doors in the programs section, as well as the tutorials section in regards to menu options. We're not going to write the code for you, but if you come back with something, we can give you tips and pointers on how to improve it.

Since I am bored I think I could write some code for you on what I think you want... But you will have to edit the code to your specifications beyond that. Also, there is a max/min of 5 questions... Meaning that you can't change that number unless you know how to. /> By the way, the answers to the questions are not related to me in any way... So don't get your hopes up. />

You may change the questions and the answers! Just make sure that question1 goes with answer1, ect. Then make sure to put the answer or question in quotes, if it isn't...

[Luanub]

Should add some comments to the code so he can hopefully learn something from it.

[Kingdaro]

Done.

Though it doesn't make it look any less daunting :/
