Whistle Tile

[Cloral]

Is there any way to make a tile where you stand on it and blow the whistle, and the tile itself changes to something else?

I think you set the secret combo flags [16-30] to whatever the tile you want it to be.

[ZeldaLord]

Uhhh, don't you just use the whistle flag & stairs secret combo?

[Cloral]

I tried that, but the stairs didn't show up. I think the stairs only show for the whistle if you set the whistle->stairs screen flag, but then you can activate it from anywhere on the screen - plus you get that color change from the lake draining from level 7 in the first quest.

Is there any way to layer the whistle flag with secret flags on the same space? I need the new tile to show up on layer 0 since I need its property.

Hmm, yeah, I see what you mean. I've always thought the whistle flags were poorly implemented, especially whistle->stairs, which is hard coded in such a way that it's almost impossible to use it in any way other than how it was used in Z1 (palette cycling, which is obsolete, anyway :sweat: ).

What we need is a whistle->secret flag (so you can trigger secrets from anywhere in the room, without the palette cycling), and a whistle secret combo (for the whistle flag).
