sol.timer.start(map, 500, function()
  if not map:has_entities([enemy_name]) then
    [door_name]:open()
    [chest_name]:set_enabled()
  end
return true
end)


remember to name the entities in the actual map, not just the breed
should be smth like this: enemy_1, enemy_2, etc.

also chest should be set as not enabled whether through script or declared in map file

You can also define the function that's called when enemies are killed. Assuming the enemies are named "chest_enemy_1", "chest_enemy_2", etc, then

Code: [Select]
function chest_enemy_1:on_killed()
  if not map:has_entities("chest_enemy") then
    chest:set_enabled(true)
  end
end


You'll have to define that for all the chest enemies since you don't know which will be killed first. You can copy the code, or use a for loop, if you know those. Like

Code: [Select]
for x in map:get_entities("chest_enemy") do
  function x:on_killed()
    --check if other enemies exist
  end
end



I don't remember offhand if the function should be on_killed or on_dead, so check the API docs

Its enemy:on_dead(), not enemy:on_killed().

Also, a for loop would be most effective actually.
