This suffices in most of the situations. But sometimes you might want to make sure that specific doors closes and locks automatically. For example if you have rogue-only doors that acts as a shortcut or the door requires a key that needs to be obtained from named monster first. text/html 2025-11-17T00:16:05+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://arkhalia.pw/wiki/doku.php/en:modulebuilding:encounters?rev=1763338565&do=diff Encounter Trigger Painting and Spawn Points Placement Never pinpoint paint the rectangles on the floor to copy the walkable terrain.

Start with adding script sh_trackprogress to every encounter that you want to be counted towards progress. Not all encounters should grant progress. I typically only do this for those in the direct route from beginning to the end, so if there are any blind routes the encounters inside them don't grant progress.
