SOP Heaven Area Help (Bug?)

Posted by twitchie on 10/23/01 - 12:42:44

Am I supposed to already have the herb boots when I get to the Heaven part? If not, wow. That Evil Elf guy is QUICK! I can't hardly even get a shot of fire off before he's ripping me a new one. I think I have tried 10 times to kill him and each time he gets the better of me.

Oh, and this may be a bug (or it may have been done on purpose). When I am in Heaven and about to go into the room where the Evil Elf is at, if I get a shot of fire off before he has a chance to say anything, the whole fight is null. He walks very slowly and none of his hits hurt Dink. The screen is also NOT locked and allows you to go to the statue and return to the regular world without actually having to defeat the Evil Elf. That would be fine and good except that while his hits don't hurt Dink, none of Dink's hits hurt him - so he never dies. Does he give something great when you kill him? Thanx!

Yeah, OFCOURSE i've done that on purpose heheeh ;)

no you're right, it's a bug, but it can't be correted though (although i think so).

What he gives to you when you beat him? REALLY Many exp. :p

It could be fixed quite easily. I haven't looked at the script, but what happened is in the middle of the main procedure you hit it, causing the script to run its hit procedure, and it never went back to finish the main, therefore many commands were left out. To avoid this, put a freeze(1); at the start of the script and unfreeze(1); where you want dink to be able to move again.

Duh, I did this, but it IS possible to do something VERY fast when you enter the screen, just before the freeze starts.
