General Dungeon Editor glitches and problems

[Billick]

I found an issue with hidden pressure plates. If you uncheck the "silent" checkbox in the inspector, and then run the preview, walking over them doesn't produce a sound. Also, when you save with them unchecked and then reload the map in the editor, the checkbox reverts back to being checked.

I think hidden pressure plates are always silent but I'm not 100% sure without checking code. It's probably intentional.

But aren't there some hidden pressure plates in the game that produce a click sound!?

You could of course always do a

Code: Select all

playSound("button")

when triggering the plate as a workaround.

I think you answered the question yourself

Hmm okay, I'll try that. Maybe take the checkbox out of the inspector then if it doesn't do anything. Thanks!

I'm not sure if this is a glitch, but if you have a function gives an effect to specific FX entity, the FX entity must not only exist, but currently be playing.
So if you:

Code: Select all

function toxic()
	poison1:setParticleSystem("hit_slime")
end

You'll get an "attempt to index global "poison1" (a nil value) X, and the same if you do

Code: Select all

poison1:setParticleSystem("hit_slime")

function toxic()
	poison1:setParticleSystem("hit_slime")
end

with a timer that repeats every 2 seconds. But if you do

Code: Select all

poison1:setParticleSystem("hit_slime")

function toxic()
	poison1:setParticleSystem("hit_slime")
end

with a timer that repeats every 1.4 or shorter, it works fine.

Minor bug:
If you have a teleporter pointing to a certain spot on a different level, and then you want to change where it's pointing to by clicking "Set Teleport Target" and pick a square on the same level as the teleport, the X and Y will update but the L will remain the different level (instead of changing to the teleporter level).

Maybe this is intentional, I guess I could see it either way

You should spawn fx entities dynamically from a script using spawn(). They will automatically destroy themselves when completed.

Well I managed to get all ooze gushing from the ceiling working, but that should be useful for ones that aren't constantly looping.

When typing the "Spawned Entity" into the Inspector for a spawner, the autocomplete doesn't list everything. I type "tor" and the autocomplete doesn't list "torch", only "shrakk_torr", but when I type fully "torch" and test it, it works just fine in game.

Bug? Simply an incomplete list?
