Even if it was possible to move to the wrong map, you can always add some code to the area that says to move the party to the other map each time they enter. If I remember right, the Shadow Lord has this in the area script so that you move from AR1400 to AR1403 (night time map to day time map).

Nope - I haven't got that far yet! I think a good illustration may be this; put a book on the table and tap it with your finger. Pretend the book is AR1300 and your finger is the mouse-click. Now put another book on top of the first and call it ar1304... tap that. You can only click on the top book - there is no follow-through to the bottom one. The same applies to the two areas - if ar1304 is on top of ar1300, then ar1300 will not be activated by clicking on ar1304. You cannot click-through two objects; only the top one will ever receive the mouse action.But isn't that the problem you originally had? I don't see the difference... How would you code this activation/deactivation then?
Now, if anyone says you can click-through Windows tooltips - you can't and you don't. If a tooltip is active and Windows picks up a mouseclick on that tooltip, it translates the click co-ordinates to the object directly below the clicked area of the tooltip. Sh!te way of working.

Or are we talking about placing the second area on top after the quest is finished?
Anyone seeing my problem in understanding?

As Sim already mentioned, there is also a "HideAreaOnMap()".

Goddammit!!! Did you enjoy writing that Sim? (I would have )And all this having been said, are you all SURE there isn't a HideAreaOnMap action hidden somewhere?
I've been quietly working away since last October on an on-and-off basis on my own. There's one new main area and a whole load of new smaller ones - stitched together out of existing IE areas and modified with PhotoShop of course (I'm not that clever!). You'll have seen bits of it in the DLTCEP tutorials; the need to learn DLTCEP to create the mod in turn led to the tutorials. I don't expect a release date anytime soon at all: talking to Hlid I guessed at about a year.As a side question. What mod are you working on Yovaneth

Well, revealing the second area after the quest is finished... and hiding the first one! Although what I said holds true for Windows, it seems that the Infinity Engine has a better way of doing it. I prefer hide'n'reveal to translating co-ordinates.Or are we talking about placing the second area on top after the quest is finished?
<mutters loudly about self: Damn!! Stupid Yovaneth!! Must read the action.ids file more closely next time >

And phew am I glad it is *not* my first idea - way too much work.

State 165 leads to this action block:
SetGlobal("PCKeepOwner","GLOBAL",1)
SetGlobal("PlayerHasStronghold","GLOBAL",1)
RevealAreaOnMap("AR1304")
HideAreaOnMap("AR1300")
StartCutSceneMode()
StartCutScene("Cut32a")
