Hello there,

I’ve created the following code that opens and closes ‘doors’. The problem I’m having now is how to repeat this code for each set of doors there are 8 of them). I presume I could use a for loop to do this however I am confused how I achieve this.

screen\_1 is the button used to open and close the doors (door\_left\_1 and door\_right\_1) using onPress and onRollout. I need this script to repeat this for each set of doors.

The only solution I’ve come up with so far is repeating the below 8 times, sure there is a more efficient way to do it!

Cheers

```
