2 different und.combos with BLOCKS??

So how can I make a room with pushblocks with multiple under combos? I remember seeing this problem solved in one thread somewhere, but I lost it. So for example there�s 10 pushable blocks in a room. 9 of them have the floor tile of the room under them, but one of the blocks has a different combo under it. I think this is done with layering somehow, but I�m so busy building my quest that I have no time testing anything, so help?

Set the undercombo you want to be under the nine, and then place a secret flag (like #16) under the tenth. Then set flag #16 to whatever combo you want to be under the tenth block.

Unfortunately, you can only use the secret flag in one spot, because if you put it somewhere else and push the block, it'll appear in both places at once.

You can't put a secret flag on the block, because then you can't put the push flag on the block, so it will be unpushable.

Come to think of it, yeah...only one flag at a time...
and I don't know of any blocks that can be pushed without flags...

No, use the flag 'push type' (NS)

No secret combos activate.

The trick involves using Layers 1, 2, and the background layer. basically, the other pushblock is on layer 1, while the combo you want to "Appear" under that block is on the background layer. That help?
