In Response To: Re: Beta 3 Testing (was: Aleph One 1.1b3) (Godot)

I ran through this trap in Aleph One with the debugger. My compilers activated when an Enforcer fired at me from the western glue polygon, shortly after springing the trap. If a monster is standing on a glue polygon, their sounds can propagate out, and I think that's the way to get compilers going.

Armed with that knowledge (and little else), I tried to wake them in the original, by running straight up to that far door to get attacked straight away. It's suicide, but there's no way I can vid the trap and survive. I did not see any compilers in my attempts, although I did get them in a cut-down version of the level with fewer monsters. My guess is, the compilers try to wake up, but in the original there's too much activity and they don't get a chance to start moving around.

If my guess is correct, then, you could wake the compilers if you clear out some of the other critters, and then get lucky enough to have an Enforcer or projectile Pfhor still hanging around near the big room. Then that monster could fire or scream from the glue poly, which would filter down to the compilers. If they're closer to the level start, or still inside their room, the glue poly would block the noise and the compilers would stay asleep.

I'm nowhere near good enough to vid that scenario, but if someone else wants to try, more power to you! :)

Meanwhile, I'll build some test maps to see how many monsters I can have awake at once. This should be interesting.
