Programming Problem

I need something invisible to the player to be changed to a color-coordinated invisible something on a dark blue background.
Don't catch my drift? Neither do I. Let me explain.
I have a full dark blue solid background. Is there any way to change a block of it into a white invisible, or something that still appears dark blue-on-blue but is different than the other ones placed in the same way?
I've tried using #put s <color> invisible on dark-blue-on-blue fakes, but to no avail.
Can someone help?

You mean a white invisible on a blue background? Maybe.... Let me see.

Or something that is still invisible to the player.

If the fake wall is color hex 11h (dark blu on dark blu) it shud put a invisible wall that look the same. Anuther way to make sumthing look invisible on that background is a objects dark blu on dark blu chr 32 will work.

Well it doesn't. And I need a terrain of some kind because I'm having another object to see if it is present.

I need a blue background so it will go with the menu screen. No other color really works. Even if I used dark red, the same problem would remain.

Well then
You can not place invisible walls which are dark-blue. they will only get this colour when you walk into it
Instead try revising it with either using objects or solid walls

#put a blue door, then put an invisible over it without specifying a colour. That should give you a white invisible on a blue background, but keep in mind that the blue background will also still be visible.

Well in my case, it's good for the blue background to be visible.
Also, putting an object will not work.

No wait that doesn't work at all.
Okay, if I get down to the root problem...
How can you get several objects to zap a command for another object?
ie, each object checks if a corresponding flag is set then tells the main object to zap one of its commands.
I mean, yes, you can't just do #<objectname>:zap <command>. But whenever I try to get an object to send the main object another command that zaps the command, it doesn't work correctly.
Any help?

#zap object:tag works.

Maybe you should put up a screenshot so we have a better idea of what this is supposed to look like.
