I had tried to do just that, but I am doing something wrong when I try to make subroutines... I think it has to do with where I am declaring my variables

Not sure if it's exactly what you wanted, but it doesn't have same code repeated twice anyway. Probably not the best way to do it, but it should work. I think.

void main()
{
   object oPC=GetFirstPC();
   object oCustom=GetObjectByTag("p_avix");
   object oParty=GetNextPC();
   object oParty2=GetNextPC();
   object oDoor=GetObjectByTag("man26ad_door02");

   // Define oProper object, which we'll use instead of oParty/oParty2 later.
   object oProper;

   if(oParty != oCustom && oParty2 != oCustom)
   {
      SendMessageToPC(oPC,"Something's screwy around here");
      return;
   }
   
   //figure out who's who
   if(oParty != oCustom) {
         oProper = oParty;
    } else {
     oProper = oParty2;
    }
   
       // your code, with oParty replaced by oProper.
         ActionPauseConversation();
         SetCommandable(TRUE,oDoor);
         SetCommandable(TRUE,oCustom);
         SetCommandable(TRUE,oProper);
         SetCommandable(TRUE,oPC);
         AssignCommand(oDoor, ActionOpenDoor(oDoor));
         ActionWait(1.0);
         AssignCommand(oPC, ActionForceMoveToLocation (Location(Vector(420.65048, 164.75064, 8.00), 0.0)));
         AssignCommand(oCustom, ActionForceMoveToLocation (Location(Vector(423.07117, 163.83559, 8.00), 0.0)));
         AssignCommand(oProper, ActionForceMoveToLocation (Location(Vector(419.32086, 165.04903, 8.00), 0.0)));
         DelayCommand(5.0, AssignCommand(oDoor, ActionCloseDoor(oDoor)));
         ActionResumeConversation();   

}

Nice thread by the way QGG - it saved me from boredom of setting up camera angles once more... need to get back to it now, though.
