Quick Question

Post by Yoshi348 »

What would be the Push Delay, Fall Delay, and any other non-obvious settings I'd need to change to make a CE that behaved like a rock? And one that behaves like a zonk? (I'm making quite an interseting level where SP turns into EM or vice versa when you pass a port... I'll upload it as a demo of my Emerald Mine EX set when I finish it...)

hmm...good question...I just searched the source, I found a lot of references to other places in the source, but I never found the exact values.

My guess is 8 + Random(8) though

Ah you mean that... yes, I needed it often too though...

And yes, push delay is: 8 + 8r
Spaceship and bug move delay is: 9
But what is the move delay of a yam and a dark yam exactly ?

Code: Select all

MovDelay[x][y] = 16 + 16 * RND(3);
Which means:
A number from 0 to 2 is randomised, we call this number x
MoveDelay = 16 + 16x
The possibilities then will be:
if x = 0 then MoveDelay = 16
else if x = 1 then MoveDelay = 32
else if x = 2 then MoveDelay = 48

This applies for both YamYam and Dark YamYam.

Aha thanks... but it´s not really possible to reconstruct a _complete_ yamyam with his 8 contents and his move in only 8 CEs or a bit more, is it ?

*thinking*
Well, the different contents wouldn't be so much of a problem...that'd be possible with a couple of different CEs (I think)
The biggest problem would be the moving delay..I can't think of a way to solve that with CEs by now

Hmm... but don't zonks have a shorter push delay? It seems non random too...

Yes... it would be possible with up to over 24 CEs and some GEs.

Apart from the slightly different move delay, it should be possible to build a yamyam with 8 different contents with 8 CEs. I think I did that once...
