Riddle locks? Player textual input?

I want to make a door that opens when the correct word is typed into a prompt after reading a riddle.
Does that functionality already exist within the editor?

I made a script where you can cycle through a list of words. You could maybe break up the answer into several parts.

Hmm. Well that might work for Bioware style riddles. (multiple choice and stuff)

If you can cycle through a list of words, maybe it's possible to cycle through the letters of the alphabet adding letters together to make a word?

I was thinking more like you break up a single word into say, three parts, and throw in a bunch of other random syllables.

Yeah that could work nicely. It also depends on the riddle too, if it's a 3 or 4 letter word having the whole alphabet to choose from might not be so much of a problem for the player. Or maybe just include all the vowels and a number of consonants. Do tell if any of you manage to make this work, I'll be sure to give your dungeon a try. :D
