Permanent Tiered Secrets...

[Joe123]

Is there STILL no way to make permanent tiered secrets in the latest betas?
Please tell me there is...

[Shoelace]

No, there is no way to make permanent tiered secrets. The only thing you could really do is make a identical screen to make it seem like it is permanent but yeah, there is no way. I wish. :(

[Joe123]

Gah. This is the sort of thing that should've been added a long time ago really :(

Oh, pish posh. Nothing is impossible anymore. You can script it.

Set a screen variable, call it level_of_triggered_secrets. When the player enters the screen, have the script set an FFC to Trigger->Secrets and move it under the player for one tic. Boom, one level of secrets. Move it back under the player for as many times as secrets have previously been triggered - boom, permanent tiered secrets.

Now you would have to keep track of how many times secrets had been previously triggered on the screen sort of indirectly, but that's just a matter of observing what combos are on the screen. Like, detect what flag is being used by a particular combo on the screen and set level_of_triggered_secrets accordingly.

Would you be willing to write that for me?

[C-Dawg]

Willing, sure. But it's a question of time. All I can tell you is that you might get it written from me, you might not. Stay tuned.

[Joe123]

Thanks

Why does everyone insist on telling people to script their solutions?

Not everyone knows how to script, C-Dawg.

[Joe123]

I'm up for using them if someone will write them for me.

Although it would be much better if it were part of the program

I always used to think that aswell, but since I've actually used scripts, they really are very flexible and stuff.

[Shoelace]

Hey C-Dawg, please make that script public, as I would love to use that script! I would love so much for it. :P

[C-Dawg]

I always make scripts public. If I do em.
