Mean placed traps rule allows traps to pass through solid objects.

Mean placed traps allow trapps to pass through solid objects. Like walls and blocks. Using the block all type combo has no effect either.

( I posted this one for rocksfan he can't get on AGN )

The "Phantom" Traps rule allows traps to pass through anything. "Mean" placed traps just lets them reach all the way across the screen when they move, rather than just halfway across.

Phantom placed traps rule was a 2.10 rule.

You're talking about the corner trap screen flag? They go through walls with or without the mean-placed-trap flag. Is this behavior incorrect?

I don't think the origenal game had an instance in which it was possable to block the traps, so it works either way... Having them blocked seems more appropiate considering how they work in other Zelda games.

Alright, I'll fix this, as soon as somebody gives me a detailed description of how each kind of trap (placed and enemy flag) used to move for each value of the trap flags (mean, phantom, and floating) in previous betas. I don't want to break old quests, just restore the old behavior.

- Mean Placed Traps: Placed traps will go all the way across the screen to hit Link.

- Phantom Placed Traps: Placed traps will go through each other (instead of bouncing off and reversing course).

traps can be further modified by the "floating traps" screen flag, which lets them go through blocks, as well as over water. Without the "floating traps" flag, they go across water, but not through blocks.

Floating Traps: Makes it possible for traps in the room to move through blocks.

Also here is the original post;

Was floating traps enabled here?
