Vivi_Ornitier Member Posts: 133 From:Black Mage Village Registered: Jul 2001 | posted 01-12-2002 10:04 AM Did you know.... that if you type 888 in the OCB of a flame emitter, you get lightening that kills you?! It's shocking. (poor poor joke) It's the type that follows you about the room you are in (I think the range is the room it's in, I haven't played with it much), catches you alight and burns you to a crisp. I found it toying for a flame jet (thanks guys) an' I know a lot of peeps wanted it at one stage, so if you don't know...here it is. Vivi IP: Logged

You can analyse the Street Bazaar PRJ and WAD with TR2PRJ and TR2WAD and figure one of coolest lightning puzzles out. That one over a roof where you need to push/pull objects until you place one under the lightning so it goes to the bridge and open your path. It works! IP: Logged

In the editor ,if you highlight an oject so it goes red then hit O on the keyboard it brings up the 'Object Code Bits' menu. By entering a number in the OCB it can give an object a certain effect , such as putting a pickup on a pedestal you have to enter a number so Lara picks it up from the pedestal and not the floor.....In this case you would put OCB 3 for a high pedestal and OCB4 for a low pedestal. Some ojects require specific OCB settings to work ...check page 83 in the manual for more about this IP: Logged

tomoko Member Posts: 197 From:Germany Forum Registered: Jan 2001 | posted 01-12-2002 12:42 PM I really wanna know how to get such a flame: Its from TRC the labyrinth, but maybe with a specially ocb is it also possible for TR4, isn't it? Tomo IP: Logged
jeffrey van oort Member Posts: 858 From:Monkey Island Registered: Jun 2001 | posted 01-12-2002 01:43 PM It is a nulmesh or it is a flame-emiter with a special obc that is only for tr1-tr2-tr5. The labyrinth you said? This asks for investigation. Tomorrow more news. ------------------ Lost Tombraider treasures. IP: Logged
Vivi_Ornitier Member Posts: 134 From:Black Mage Village Registered: Jul 2001 | posted 01-14-2002 03:08 PM Hey! I've jus' added a flame_3 and entered 888 in the OCB. When I play the level she doesn't burst into flames anymore, the lightening just follows her (?!). Do you know what happenin'? TrNut >> Have you got the nullmesh in the lowest point of the room? If you +floor it, it doesn't work. The also don't like being in big rooms where they can clash with things, they only like little square ones (they told me so ) IP: Logged

Vivi_Ornitier Member Posts: 134 From:Black Mage Village Registered: Jul 2001 | posted 01-15-2002 10:59 AM The whole flame thing is acting very very strange. I now can only get the darn thing to work in a 4 X 4 room with Lara and the flame alone, with no other rooms (I sent it to TR nut). The time I tried it, I used all four flames, including the 'Flame' with an OCB of 888 all triggered on the same square. Problem is, because I was only testing to try and find flame jets (before I posted my thread about them here) I didn't save it, never do when testing, and then it worked. Flame emitter 3 is only part of the burning Lara situation, the other part is triggering a 'flame' in the same room as flame_3. If you trigger them on the same square though, the flame 3 messes up, and turns into a ball. I don't know how I got the darn thing to work, but honestly it can be done. It's gonna take a lot of fiddling about (just like Von Croy did) before it's finally clear how to you it. The other problem I had is that if you don't start in the room with the flame 3 (ie a one level room!!) then it won't follow you either. I'm jingling it, Mage Vivi [This message has been edited by Vivi_Ornitier (edited 01-15-2002).] IP: Logged
