    Question Ok, how did I do that?

    Every problem begs for a solution. This question is probably a no-brainer for you veterans so here goes.

    One time while editing, I clicked something and managed to get two flags to be active on a single combo (the first was on the top half of the tile and the second flag showed up on the bottom half. I didn't need it there so I fixed it, but now I've run into a situation where two flags are necessary, specifically Flag 4 and 6 on two different combos (burn trigger and bomb trigger respectively) each combined with 94 (Trigger -> Self Only). So... how do I do it? I've tried multiple combinations (shift-click, ctrl-click, alt-click) with no luck.

    What you encountered was an Inherent flag.

    There are two ways to place flags in Zelda Classic. You can place them with the flag tool (this creates a regular flag) or you can set the flag in the properties of a combo (this creates an inherent flag). Setting a flag on a combo and then placing a flag creates the situation where both flags apply (what you were describing; this is how you set up Trigger->Self Only secrets).

    I don't know what the shortcut is on the screen proper, but you can edit the properties of a combo and select the inherent flag by right-clicking on the combo in the palette (on the right side of the editor) and changing its properties.
    BEWARE: This changes the properties of every copy of that combo in your quest. Plan ahead and make a copy of the combo to edit, so that you can change its inherent flag without causing a cascade of changes throughout your quest.



    Hope this helps!

    YES! And with scripting you can do some damn awesome stuff by changing combo definitions that are global such as type and inherent flag.
    Wanna make it so you require a Level 2 flipper to swim in lava, with scripting! YOU CAN!
