Moving keys, gems, coins and stars

[Pawelec]

I've been trying to get correctly working keys, gems, coins and stars which can float like UFOs, but apparently I cannot get them to properly push buttons - they leave a strange phantom object moving and pushing buttons after being collected. Has anyone dealt with it? I know Jutomi experimented with floating gems.

Hello, Pawelec.

Yes, I _have_ in fact experimented with moving gems and stars.

They're a little bit finicky...
I know that you'd basically make a UFO look like something else(with MNIK's PowerWopBeta) and then CMD 4 the "type" to the object they look like.

I remember, though, and I'm pretty sure I once tried that again in a POTZ adventure...
it didn't work, but when I copy/pasted from another adventure, with the same objects(I think),
it did work. So, here are two .wops you can use for stars/gems, located in the items folder in mine,
but be careful with them, and don't forget the values you'd find in PWB.
Also, again, they're finicky...
if these wops and a cmd 4 (id) 9 (item) don't work for you,
I can give you two of my adventures to copy/paste them into your own adventure.

And, albeit it might be easy to make them with Powerwopbeta...
it's still, like, really confusing to me how this works.

Thanks Jutomi, but they still suffer from the 'phantom glitch' and for me the most important were the keys, I did what was needed in PowerWOP and they still don't work.

The things I didn't try though:
- to create an object in another place then use Clone command,
- to use ZapBot logic instead of UFO.

I'll experiment a bit more and share the results.
