Magic (Majic?) Boxes - Help Needed

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Thu Dec 30, 2004 5:52 pm

When playing several levels, I've noticed that boxes disappear when pushed into water. Sometimes they reappear elsewhere. Sometimes whole levels are designed around this (eg: Majic's GHOSTBOX).

My latest level SAUCERY has a box like this. It appeared by itself and I found I could use it for the level, but have no idea how to design or control these boxes.

Any advice, or is it a secret for computer experts?

It's not a secret. It mainly depends on the water being very near the edge of the level, especially if there is no wall around it. The box seems to scoot off sideways, and although it disappears from the water, you can still walk on it.

If you want it to happen then it's good, but if you don't then the invisible box just gets in the way.

I don't think there's a hard and fast rule for getting one to appear, you just have to experiment. Whatever you did last time in the editor needs repeating, then you'll most likely get the same result.
