Whoops, my mistake. I thought for some reason that you could open .dat files in the editor. I've now updated the page to include the editor files in a separate rar.

Alright, I made a bit of a demo map with some stairs (and a model-less secret door to constrain movement) along with an elevator using a similar trick.

You can actually do this already, but it's a bit of a hack. Petri's point about the ambiguity of the state ends up actually being the thing that lets you do it. Lets say we have a 1x1 tile which is supposed to be a platform halfway between H=0 and H=1 (very simple kind of stairs). The logic for this...

Instead of adjusting the water surface, could you move the entire level vertically by a fraction of a tile?

Looking through the dungeon editor assets, I realized that there's nothing along the lines of a set of stairs that moves you between elevations within a level rather than between levels (instead, you must use ladders). So it got me thinking, what are the limits as far as ways in which you can let th...

I have to admit to not having been following along due to intermittent power here, but can we add new nodes yet? I'd like to be able to stop all these 'no Gate node' errors on new secret door models, for example. Or add a light node to a monster to give it a light source, or something like that.

The way I'd do it for five configurations is I'd give each door a bitstring as part of its name, 1 for if the door is closed in that configuration and 0 if its open (or vice versa, whatever you like). Then I'd use a loop over all entities, use an if statement to restrict it to these particular secre...

Aha, good to know why it happens. I guess then it could also affect other bits of code where one script calls another directly. And all of Grimrock's functions for objects always expect a self to be passed to them. Okay, that makes sense.

Weird thought: can you access party, and its champions? You could do something with inventory tokens or something. A bit of a hack, but what you'd do is spawn them only when the game is just about to end. Or even something more disruptive like setting one of the champions' health or mana to the scor...

You can use onAttack for that. It gives you the attacker and their weapon, which you could check against the name of the item you want to do something weird.
