The easiest way is to download and install the Secret Doors extension from inform7.com/extensions/Andrew%20 … doc_0.html and reveal the door when needed (see chapter 2.10 on installing extensions.) For example:

[code]Include Secret Doors by Andrew Owen.

The library is a room. The magical door is a secret door. The magical door is west of the library and east of the wizard’s laboratory. The wizard is a man in the library.

Instead of asking the wizard about “door” for the first time:
say “‘Oh yeah, the door. It’s here,’ he says and pulls the door from his sleeve.”;
now the magical door is revealed.[/code]

you can do that also by placing a door a the start of the game in a unreachable place and then moving it to the desired place!

[code]Magical door is a door west of the unreachable room.

Instead of asking the wizard about “door” for the first time:
say “‘Oh yeah, the door. It’s here,’ he says and pulls the door from his sleeve.”;
now the magical door is mapped east of the room1 and west of the room2[/code][/size]
wasn’t it better when the texts in the code box were a little bit bigger?
