Boss flags triggering automatically

2 replies · 1,014 views · Started 11 April 2004

I'm having an issue with one of my screens.

This screen is on a seperate dmap, and is also a different level number than the rest of the dungeon, and is not a level number used by a different dmap. However, when I enter it, the boss flag secret triggers automatically.

It's setup correct, I believe.

The screen with the secret flag has a trigger enemy on it, enemies->secret is checked in the screen flags, and boss flag is checked in the enemy flags.. The screen with the other boss flag is a special item room with no enemies, but it has a guy, which I know acts as an enemy.. I tried it in another portion of my quest, and it worked fine.

So, does anyone know what the problem is?

Not sure. However, there are some things you can check:

1. Try changing the enemy in the second room to a Trigger enemy instead of a "guy"
2. Try using a different screen as your second room. I dont know why, but sometimes this fixes the problem when nothing else will.
3. Check other rooms in the same dmap - if any room has "Boss Flag" set and you clear it of enemies/there are no enemies, it will trigger the flag.

Some of that might help.

1) The problem with this is that when you get the special item, the trigger enemy wouldn't die. I could try using the ring leader enemy flag.. If ZC chooses the guy as the ring leader, then it'd work.

2) I noticed that. I'll give that a shot.

3) Will do.

Thanks, C.

Edit: Well, I moved the room to another map and it worked perfectly. 😊 Much abliged, C.
