I gave link bombs but for some reason, he can't use them, why?
Also, how to I make it that after a secret tile is revealed the jingle plays.
Thanks!

So there's 2 ways to do bombs.
The first is using the standard bomb item, "Bomb (Normal)" - Item #3 if you're using the default classic tileset, as well as most others. That gives you 4 bombs, up to a starting maximum of 8 (unless you change it under "Quest" -> "Init Data"). Along the way, you can place bomb upgrades by going to "Screen" -> "Room Type" and selecting "More Bombs," then "Screen" -> "Price" and entering the amount of rupees for the upgrade. These upgrades are typically put in caves or dungeon rooms, since it's a guy who offers to sell you the upgrade, and he should have the full room to himself. Each upgrade gives you an additional 4 bombs and 2 super bombs.
The second is using bomb ammunition. These types of bombs require a bomb bag to carry, and you won't be able to pick up bomb ammunition until you have a bomb bag. You can also place Bomb (Normal) and it will activate your ability to carry bombs and pick up bomb ammo, but generally these two types of bomb methods are not mixed and matched. It's meant that you choose one or the other, and using this way, you can offer up to 4 different bomb bags of gradually larger capacity, rather than using the bomb upgrade rooms. You can use those rooms, but again, it's an inconsistent crossover and rarely done.
As for secret jingles, I'm honestly not sure. I've had the sound play when I didn't want it to, but it's never failed to play when I needed it to. How are you setting up your secrets? And actually, just for reference, what tileset are you working with?

Right, I placed down bomb ammunition instead of the bomb item.
Also, Lut, I'm using the original tileset.
Also, one more thing.
How to I make it that secret tiles stay revealed even after you leave the screen?

Yeah. That would be an issue. You can place down ammunition, but you would have to have the Bomb item in Link's inventory.
Think of the Bomb item like a Bow.
I believe there's a permanent secrets thing under screen data. If you're having multiple secrets triggered on after another though, only the first will be permanent. There is a script for that though.
I turned on the Perm secret flag but it still goes away when I leave and come back!

More issues! As soon as link enters a dungeon, he faces down and walks out again

It depends on the type of secret. For example, Block Puzzle secrets can't be permanent, as far as I know, but you can work around this by having the puzzle trigger an 'invisible' (same tile as the floor) Combo with the "Step->Secrets (Sens. Perm)" Combo Type that the player will be forced to step over (perhaps in front of a chest or by the exit). You could also have a "Step->Secrets (Permanent)" on the other side of a barrier (if your puzzle removes it) so that players can escape from the other side.
Keep in mind most of this is moot if you are using NES Dungeon Screens because I don't think they can have Permanent Secrets. I recommend just using the 'Interior' screen type for Dungeons. The difference biggest difference between NES Dungeon Screens and Interior screens is that you can't use 'Block->Shutters' or Locked Doors on interior screens. For shutters, you have to instead place the shutter doors as combos and then use the 'Enemies->Secrets' Screen Flag to open them. For locked doors, you place the doors as combos and make them Lock Blocks using Combo Types. Using 'Interior' Screens may also fix the issue with Link leaving the dungeon.

After the tile warp link walks downwards into the door again instead of away from it.

I recommend you use the Interior dungeon type to have permanent secrets. You can still check a screen flag to treat certain screens as NES screens when you want to use automated doors. If, however, you want screens that combine permanent secrets and NES-like doors, you'll have to use ZQuest tricks like Rainst0rm mentioned.

Put the return point at the edge of the screen.

I fixed it so he doesn't walk back out, but he does face downwards, but that's not really an issue,

Hooo boy, your dungeon combos are going to be a complete mess.Also, Lut, I'm using the original tileset.
Speaking of which, if you want your arrows to function in the same way that the bomb ammunition method works rather than using rupees, go to "Quest" -> "Rules" -> "Items" and check the box for "True Arrows." Then you'll activate arrow ammunition and quivers that function exactly like bomb ammunition and bomb bags. But if you're aiming for a true classic-styled quest, leave this disabled.Think of the Bomb item like a Bow.
The only built-in option that works with NES dungeon screens is under the "E.Flags" tab of the screen data - if you check the boxes for "Enemies -> Secrets" and "Enemies -> Secrets Is Permanent," any secret flags will be activated once you kill all enemies, and they will remain activated - however, you'll hear the secret jingle every time you enter the screen because ZC reloads them every time you enter the screen rather than saving them like overworld/interior map types do.I believe there's a permanent secrets thing under screen data. If you're having multiple secrets triggered one after another though, only the first will be permanent.
The warp return actually needs to be placed halfway into the gray bar at the bottom of the screen:More issues! As soon as link enters a dungeon, he faces down and walks out again

MoscowModder created a "Permanent Block Secrets" script that not only works with blocks, but with whistle secrets and any other secrets that don't remain activated even on the overworld.It depends on the type of secret. For example, Block Puzzle secrets can't be permanent, as far as I know, but you can work around this by having the puzzle trigger an 'invisible' (same tile as the floor) Combo with the "Step->Secrets (Sens. Perm)" Combo Type that the player will be forced to step over (perhaps in front of a chest or by the exit).
Exactly. The catch with this though, is that both screens on each side of the automated walls will need to be NES dungeon screens for the functionality to transfer to both sides.You can still check a screen flag to treat certain screens as NES screens when you want to use automated doors.
