And HOW to use them and how to set them up (IF THEY WORK)
Found under MODIFIERS: I don't know how to set these up but would like to know how it's done.

Modifying Rotating Mover Event (alters speed of spin, fast or slow)
Reverse Mover Event

I know how to turn particle emitters on or off using particle_state event, but you should be able to turn push regions on or off as well because there is a push region state event in red.

If I wanted to create a map where I had to hunt around to search guards to find a certain access keycard to open the door with, how would I set this up so the door would only open when I have got the keycard on me as an item?

What was that key again to align a rotating keyframe with the grid?, (the keyframe with the little green arrow to show direction of spin) is it ctrl-t or was it some other key to align it properly, cause I've forgotten !.. (like trying to make a pair of rollers spin around nice and smooth without showing any horrible little wobbles in it...)

They work if you link them to the main keyframe of a mover.
It can generate server side bugs in MP 'some players don't see the mover where you see it)

It's possible indeed and work the same way.Example: here.

I sincerely don't know. maybe with a pick item state event.

I'm doing sp maps... Oh, well when
Red wouldn't let me attach the keyframe
to the (e) and said it didn't support
such linking of objects, I thought you
had to attach the (e) instead to the
keyframe's trigger.

Opening a door with a keycard item: "I sincerely don't know. maybe with a pick item state event."

I think I have to play around a bit more. I may have to enter in the keycard's UID into the Door Trigger's properties to get the trigger to activiate and open the door only when I have got the keycard item.

Trigger

Here is some stuff on Key Cards and Setting Goal Events

If I ever get to where I am going, will I know when I am there?
