Thanks for the great response! First of all, when breaking into a closed shop, there will be a "warning" message, like "As the door swing open, you realise that what you do from here is illegal". Any comment/suggestions on that? I'm running a check on sneaking. Without sneaking, ...

The door could be set to not open until morning, but then there would be nothing for the thieves to do.. :)

I agree on the formatting part, to read a script without any formatting is really a pain... But, in these cases this might not be a problem: This forum seems to erase all tabs and spaces in the beginning of rows in messages. This does not apply to sections withing the "CODE" BB Code (#), t...
