Problems - Maybe?

Post by jcvalcar2 » Mon Sep 12, 2005 9:21 pm

I'm not sure if this problem is with my computer or if others have had the same thing happen. So far I had it happen with two levels, mine (Arrival) and Martha's (TNT). Hidden walls were placed on both levels, top left side. I wasn't able to retrieve 2 coins or a bonus coin in Martha's level and on mine I wasn't always able to get thru properly. On my level I kept it in there as you could still access a coin by other means and at the time just thought it was my computer. But then it happened again with Martha's level. I am able to access the hidden walls further down on the left side just not at the top. Is this something that should be avoided or should I just shoot my computer :lol:

I mean no offense to Martha. I enjoyed playing her level very much. Just confused as to why this happened.

Any suggestions would be helpful and appreciated.

There is a techy fault with the left-side wall Cathy - sometimes you can enter fake walls and sometimes you can't. More often you can't. It is a glitch in the Editor that has always been there. That is what makes barrels explode and disappear from water and boxes fly around and boulders roll around in water under levels too :D

I always put an extra line of wall on the left side if I need to use it. Hope that helps you Cathy III :wink:

Hi Cathy, I've seen this mysterious problem before a few times, Lillie's right, an extra wall on the left will solve it. It must be connected with bridge building somehow too - I've just tried TNT and got all the coins but I didn't put any barrels in the water until I'd got all the coins round the edge.

Most peculiar - rest assured it's not your computer

:lol: :lol: Wow am I glad I don't have to throw out my computer yet, old Betsy still has a little life in her yet.

Thank you all very much for your comments, I will watch out for this in the future. And I wondered how those boulders moved and the barrels exploded. :)

I've tried to explain this before. It's not invisible walls, and has nothing really to do with the editor. It can be avoided.

It happens when there isn't a wall or enough wall thickness around the level. You move a box or something and a ghost of it appears at the left hand side, you can, if you know where it is, move the invisible whatever and use it in the game, as has been done several times before. If you do move the invisible thing, then the real one moves too and, if it was in water, disappears.

Some ingenious levels were made around this bug ages ago, one by majic1 where you had to keep hold of the invisible box all the way through the game and use it along the way.

As long as you know what causes it you can avoid it happening, or use it to your advantage. :wink:
