What are you trying to do? Do you want a door that can be switched 'on' so that it takes the player to another door instead of the one it usually does?

I have never heard of such a thing, but it's a cool idea.

If the door link was tied to bridge switchable tiles, you could have selectable locations.

That's tricky, real tricky.

If you have a moving platform switch pointing to the door location it will 'switch' it in a tricky way that will let you 'flip' the door between two locations.

If you're not using the moon tile or any of the map stuff it might be possible to patch up some sort of 'hidden checkpoints' that are activated silently whenever the player passes them setting the 'switchable' door to whatever value you put there. In that case the player would be secretly swapping around where they end up without even knowing it. It'd take a bit of patching though.

Given a little time to write up something I can make it so that you have BOTH gem doors AND these switching doors in your mod, this would make levels more interesting. It would use up the Moon-tile; if you had one ABOVE the gem holder it would be a special door, otherwise it would be a normal gem door. Does that sound cool?

Selectable locations would be amazing. I will try and figure out how to do this.
