I'm talking about the puzzle data in the script files, the ones that look like this: Puzzle= 1,Puzzle object, $0004,$0300,$0000,$0000,$0000,$0002.
I'm trying to get the prayer wheel puzzle objects to work (from TR2) and I think there must be some way of using them by changing these values. Anyone?

Hi dhama,

I haven't looked into the values but just so that you can eliminate a possible cause: some puzzles don't work unless they are facing a certain direction (e.g. interactive part of puzzle facing east). Try rotating the puzzle piece to face N, E, S and W (build and test each direction) before tackling the values issue.

Good luck

WBM

As far as i know those numbers represent how the puzzle object appears when you pick it up and how it appears in the inventory.

For example you can make the object look smaller or larger on the screen when you pick it up ,or change the way it spins around when picked up or in the inventory.

I don't think these values have any effect how the puzzle pieces are actually used in the game...just for appearances only.

Hi Dhama. I eagerly await the release of Temple of ???????. The numbers in the scripts with the dollar signs represent the size and rotation of the item when you pick it up. If it says pickup, it's a pickup, and so on. The single number after that represents what number the object is in the editor (i.e. Puzzle_Item_2) If you change this value, then you can change the name of the object. So if you want to have a prayer wheel be called "prayer wheel" you need to change the number next to pickup to the number of the prayer wheel, and change the name next to it to Prayer Wheel, just don't forget to change whatever it was to prayer wheel in the english file as well. But if you want to change the size or rotation of the pickup in the inventory, experiment with the other series of numbers with the $ sign.
I hope this helps!
