I want the player to bring a key and put it in a certain spot, which triggers an event. I don't want to end the level or change section, just trigger an event. I could put a zelda 2 key door in the floor, so that you can put the key on top of it, deleting it and allowing a koopa to kick a shell at a block which triggers an event...but this leaves a hole in the floor, i have to change the door sprite so i can hide the koopa far below, and you'd hear the shell kicking sound constantly until the key is used. I can't really get around this via level design because what I'm doing with that room is set in stone. I thought the keyhole would be able to trigger events, but it's just a level exit, right? Is there a way to do this using Luna or something?
I'm using PGE/Horikawa's smbx 2.0.

I'm respriting it anyway, so it doesn't have to be a key- it could be a friendly, nonmoving shyguy or a mushroom block or something.

You can make the key with the event "death" on it and then it can trigger it as soon as you enter the locked warp position in a level. If that's what you mean.

I don't understand why you would need a Koopa. You can just set an event to happen when the Zelda lock dies. Every NPC can trigger an event upon death and the Zelda lock is no exception.
