Treasure Chests

[Dark Nation]

I think that real treasure chests would be a nice addition. No need to slash at them like they are made of grass or something. You'd set it up with the armos->item flag, just like the makeshift treasure chests, though. However, with proper treasure chests, you just enter the room where the chest is...

and walk into it. You get the item inside...

and the open chest is left behind.

You could even have chests that require keys to open.

They still would have an item inside...

and would leave an open chest behind.

To be complete, however, a chest requiring the boss key should be added, too.

Other than the key requirements...

it would act just like the other chests.

Just for fun, using secret combos and the enemies->secret flag, you could make a chest appear when you kill a boss.

It could even be a large chest.

Being a large chest, it would surely have something cool inside, like a triforce shard...

that would act just like a triforce shard you had picked up off the floor.

And, if set up correctly, the open chest would appear in the room if you enter it again.

Nice. I think I'll have MapMaker ready for release in a couple more weeks if things go well.

Hey, awesome!

So what happens if you have more than one chest combo in a room? They all open up at once like Lock Blocks? In that case, what if Link opens the "wrong" chest, which is unflagged? Will the item appear on the flag, or is it only given when you open a flagged chest?

What if you have multiple chests which are all flagged?

oh sweet. finally, quests are starting to become more and more like the newer Zelda games

awsome job

Un-freaking-believable. All hail the DarkNation, the patron saint of ZC.

How is this laid out in ZQuest? I would imagine chests to be linked to the next combo in the line, but what about big chests? Are they off by 1, or do they have the same situation as the small chest and therefore opens up all 'chest' combos on a screen?

Very good work, IMO

You tell such great stories, Dark Nation. :p The thing I'm really excited about here, is what ELSE you could do. You could make levers that you could push into walls, like in Radien's DoR demo. Thank you for the feature. :) No further comments / suggestions.

One question though. Will it work like lock blocks, so that one will trigger all the others? ... Suppose you had multiple chests in a room? ... But suppose you ALSO want ONE piece of a large chest to trigger the OTHER parts. ... An interesting conflict indeed.

As far as I know, the warp system was not dropped, only delayed.
