Did you know....

that if you type 888 in the OCB of a flame emitter, you get lightening that kills you?!
It's shocking. (poor poor joke)
It's the type that follows you about the room you are in (I think the range is the room it's in, I haven't played with it much), catches you alight and burns you to a crisp.

I found it toying for a flame jet (thanks guys) an' I know a lot of peeps wanted it at one stage, so if you don't know...here it is.

Yeah I know that. Itīs cool!
You can analyse the Street Bazaar PRJ and WAD with TR2PRJ and TR2WAD and figure one of coolest lightning puzzles out. That one over a roof where you need to push/pull objects until you place one under the lightning so it goes to the bridge and open your path. It works!

I can't get it to work. if i put 888 in the ocb, all i get is a lightning beam that goes left to right, and doesn't even come in contact with lara; if i put -888 in the ocb, all i get is a ball of lightning.

moose, are you saying you don't know how to pull up the ocb?
click an object and hit 'o' on your keyboard to pull up the ocb window in the little window with 0, is where we put ie. 888 (don't forget to hit enter or it won't register).

In the editor ,if you highlight an oject so it goes red then hit O on the keyboard it brings up the 'Object Code Bits' menu.

By entering a number in the OCB it can give an object a certain effect , such as putting a pickup on a pedestal you have to enter a number so Lara picks it up from the pedestal and not the floor.....In this case you would put OCB 3 for a high pedestal and OCB4 for a low pedestal.

Some ojects require specific OCB settings to work ...check page 83 in the manual for more about this

It is a nulmesh or it is a flame-emiter with a special obc that is only for tr1-tr2-tr5.
The labyrinth you said?
This asks for investigation.
Tomorrow more news.

Hey! I've jus' added a flame_3 and entered 888 in the OCB. When I play the level she doesn't burst into flames anymore, the lightening just follows her (?!). Do you know what happenin'?

TrNut >> Have you got the nullmesh in the lowest point of the room? If you +floor it, it doesn't work. The also don't like being in big rooms where they can clash with things, they only like little square ones (they told me so )

The whole flame thing is acting very very strange. I now can only get the darn thing to work in a 4 X 4 room with Lara and the flame alone, with no other rooms (I sent it to TR nut).
The time I tried it, I used all four flames, including the 'Flame' with an OCB of 888 all triggered on the same square. Problem is, because I was only testing to try and find flame jets (before I posted my thread about them here) I didn't save it, never do when testing, and then it worked. Flame emitter 3 is only part of the burning Lara situation, the other part is triggering a 'flame' in the same room as flame_3. If you trigger them on the same square though, the flame 3 messes up, and turns into a ball. I don't know how I got the darn thing to work, but honestly it can be done. It's gonna take a lot of fiddling about (just like Von Croy did) before it's finally clear how to you it. The other problem I had is that if you don't start in the room with the flame 3 (ie a one level room!!) then it won't follow you either.
I'm jingling it,
Mage Vivi

Good luck. Iīll try some by myself too and keep you informed.
