[864] Hookshot + Item + String = Frozen Link

4 replies · 1,353 views · Started 15 October 2008

If you use the hookshot and it attaches itself to a hookshot grab combo. And if you have an item on the screen that's scripted to show a message on pickup. The script works fine and such. However, after the string is gone and Link is in his proper position. Link is literally frozen to that spot as Link's input is not reestablished, so Link cannot move.

Edit: After intentionally reproducing this in a test quest, I've found out that this not only affects scripted message items, but it basically lies within the screen flag, hold up item.

This sounds familiar....

* Fixed the bug where Fairy flag heart rings would cause the hookshot to freeze.
A cousin to this bug, perhaps?

Why do you people seem to intentionally go out of your way to do odd things that break ZC? 😛 "If Link is wearing a level 250 ring and is on a conveyor that puts him on a warp tile at the same moment that his hookshot finished bringing him an item that causes him to hold it above his head with one hand and also displays an item message and it's a Tuesday, then the game has a 73% chance of freezing."

This find wasn't intentional. It was purely coincidencial as I was testing my quest, used a cheat to walk through a door, which resulted in me not picking up an item which would've otherwise been gone before I had the hookshot.
