EDIT: Actually, i believe i posted this in the wrong forum :S
Hey guys. I am using the maplink script by Wachunga, and I have been trying to make it so the maplink won't allow the player to move to the designated map until a switch or variable (whichever I use) has been set.
I have tried making it so the event only appears when a certain switch has been turned on, but that only gives me a syntax error in the maplink script.
I have also tried using conditional branches, however the maplink script doesn't see the conditional branch and still allows the player to go through.
Do you guys know of any way to help me with my problem?
I appreciate anyone's help =)

# This is the script for Maplinks.
#==============================================================================
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">=begin
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">============
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">Maplinks - version 0.95 (2005-11-10)
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">============
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">by Wachunga
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">This script simplifies linking maps together: a single event sets up an
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">entire edge of the map as a teleport to another map. Players trying to
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">leave that edge of the current map are automatically teleported.
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">(This can also be achieved with many copies of teleport events along the edges
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">of a map or with a parallel-process event that sets variables and uses them to
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">teleport, but these methods are not optimal -- causing lag and/or inconvenience
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">for the mapper.)
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">To link a map with another on a specific edge (north, east, south or west),
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">create an event with <maplink> included in its name on the appropriate edge of
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">the map. (To avoid confusion, maplink events on corners of the map are
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">not valid.) Then, add a teleport ("Transfer Player") command to the event
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">to specify the destination map and other details (e.g. player direction,
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">fading on/off). If the destination is an east or west edge, then the Y
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">coordinate is calculated based on the player's Y coordinate when
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">teleporting; likewise, the X coordinate is calculated automatically when
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">the destination is a north or south edge.
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">Note: unlike normal teleport events, maplinks are activated when the player
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">tries to leave the screen instead of when stepping on the last tile. This
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">behaviour could be changed, but I feel that it's more natural this way:
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">it leaves the whole map open for actual exploration, instead of "wasting"
<span style="color:#000080; font-style:italic;">the outer tiles of a map.
