Edit: Ok I was late too, and could well be talking rubbish anyway so go with what you have now

It would probably be easier not to use the editor_stuff for something like this and just set the sequence and frame normally depending on whether the fence should be open or closed. Open/closed could be stored in a global variable, or there is a trick you can use by 'abusing' editor_seq etc....

Here:

void main (void)
{
	//preload_seq not really needed

	int &donk = sp_editor_num(&current_sprite);
	int &open = editor_seq(&donk, -1);
	
	//Not using editor_seq as the real sequence here, but just giving it
	//a value of 0 or 1 to see if the fence is open.
	//See further down for where this is set...

	//Main is run when entering the screen so you need to check here if the fence is open
	if (&open == 1)
	{
		//Fence open
		sp_pseq(&current_sprite, 36);
		//sp_seq is for animations, use sp_pseq for non-moving stuff
		sp_pframe(&current_sprite, 5);
		//same as seq and pseq
		sp_hard(&current_sprite, 0);
		//sp_hard is weird - 0 is hard, 1 is not hard
		draw_hard_sprite(&current_sprite);
	}
	if (&open == 0)
	{
		//Fence closed
		sp_pseq(&current_sprite, 35);
		sp_pframe(&current_sprite, 5);
		sp_hard(&current_sprite, 1);
		draw_hard_sprite(&current_sprite);
	}
}

void talk (void)
{
	freeze(1);

	if (&open == 0)
	{
		//Fence is closed.
		choice_start();
		"Open fence"
		"Leave fence"
		choice_end();

		if (&result == 1)
		{
			//procedure for opening the fence
			wait(400);
			playsound(7, 22050, 0, 0, 0);

			sp_pseq(&current_sprite, 36);
			sp_hard(&current_sprite, 1);
			draw_hard_sprite(&current_sprite);

			//Set editor_seq so it remembers if it's open or closed
			editor_seq(&donk, 1);
			&open = 1;
		}
		unfreeze(1);
		return;
		//return basically means "stop here".
		//So it doesn't matter that &open has just been set to 1
		//because the next part won't run until you talk to the fence again.
	}

	if (&open == 1)
	{
		//Fence is open.
		choice_start();
		"Close fence"
		"Leave fence"
		choice_end();

		if (&result == 1)
		{
			//procedure for closing the fence
			move_stop(1, 2, 300, 1);
			move_stop(1, 4, 73, 1);
			wait(200);
			playsound(7, 22050, 0, 0, 0);

			sp_pseq(&current_sprite, 35);
			sp_hard(&current_sprite, 0);
			draw_hard_sprite(&current_sprite);

			//Set editor_seq so it remembers if it's open or closed
			editor_seq(&donk, 0);
			&open = 0;
		}
	}
	unfreeze(1);
}

You could just make &open into a global variable and leave out all editor stuff if you preferred, but this is a handy trick.

And I didn't test that, so I hope it works
