I think it doesn't even exist in the game itself. The dialogue option is there, but even if you cheat to get this ungodly amount of coins, it will still say that you don't have enough. There's no item for it, either.
Rest in peace, Kym. I hardly knew ya.
Rest in peace, Marinus. A bright star, you were ahead of me on my own tracks of thought. I miss you.

Yes, I know that it doesn't exist and that it's unobtainable.

This is MY today's target mission.
I thought Antonio said it was a blinking tool, but, that's a long time I can't remember. :mrgreen:

Plurm: try using PowerWOP to make a custom item using custom model, it's perfectly possible.

Now I have a thought... Isn't charging your gloves done via CMD? There's one way of doing that which I cannot tell about in public, and two conventional ways (regular and faint chargers). There may be a CMD with magic type and spell count used as data values.

Function is a problem, I'll try to apply from Antonio.

Hmmm..... So confused.
I can't edit in PowerWop, I don't know what "Type" and "SubType" data values mean. :?:

I want to make a Cloud City in WA3E, should I use the Retro-Style or POTZ Style?

Is it possible to edit a hub level from the official game? I downloaded the demo of WA1 yesterday and wanted to check a few things with the editor; the game, however, will MAV three times if I open a level. Is there a solution to this? :?

Hmm... I do know that POTZ however works perfectly fine in the POTZ editor. I never succeeded opening a WA level in WAE 0.96, but I know you can use the secret in WA (can't mention it here, but I hope you know what I'm referring to) to do certain things (remember that the .wlvs are negative).

If I remember correctly, WA1 is the only game that requires special treatment if you want to open it in the editor. Cbloopy has made a tool that allows you to convert levels to be loaded into the editor and to be converted back to WA1 format. This tool I've attached should do the trick. :)

It should be noted that the objects in converted WA1 levels are not editable. In MoFI you may get into some trouble with FlipBridges, they caused my editor to crash a few times, but don't worry - just keep trying, they will open eventually.

Is there a way to remove the starting items (Glow gem, spy-eye, and the magic gloves) for custom adventures?

I don't know whether someone tried a starting dialogue taking the items with ID = -1 away from the player, but it may work.

I'm not entirely sure it's been tried, but I'm nearly certain it's impossible, especially since it was impossible to remove Magic Gloves, Spy-Eye, Glowgem, and lamp via dialog even when we were able to set the ID.

I've made a list of not-so-obvious puzzle design concepts for my hub, but given it's closer to being abandoned than finished I may post it here:

- Tentacles, MooBots and Crabs hidden in their shells can be flashed.
- Objects can be re-flashed onto opened FlipBridge.
- Hitting a Green Crab hidden in its shell with a fireball (eg. POW) wakes the crab up.
- Green Crabs are immune to fireballs when they are awake.
- MooBots continue moving in their initial direction after the Brr ice block or Floing bubble which trapped them expires (yes, MooBots can use IceFloats and Flo Bubbles).
- Bridges react to colour changers, but only in colour range from 8 to 11.

Does anyone know if it's possible to make something happen if a specific custom item is used on a specific coordinate?

E.g. If a custom item with an ID of 5 is used on X: 11 Y:10, a key will activate.

You should be able to do it by making the custom item activate a general command button that activates a key (or whatever you want to activate) by using ID On Local or ID Toggle Local.
