Okay, so, I made this sword dungeon to hide the modified magical sword and to block early entry I made a Fairy Leave Life Or Money (-999) at the entrance. This worked precisely as intended but then everything went awry when I tried to lay the sword at the end of the dungeon. First, I changed the magical sword pick up strength to 13 hearts and lain it on the last room floor. But, no matter what Link always picked it up with 9 hearts. I started a new game and double checked, same thing with 3 hearts. Now, the white sword functioned fine and I couldn't pick it up without reaching the pick-up requirement.
I figured, well, then I should make a Special Item Guy like with the white sword and maybe Link won't pick it up before he has enough hearts. So I put the special item guy in the last room and gave him my modified magical sword. He appeared as intended and said his string but when I tried to walk in the room Link immediately descended as though going down stairs, stairs that weren't there at all. He went into the dungeon item room but floors didn't matter, he could walk through the walls and didn't need to climb the ladders. Still, he could pick up the sword with 3 hearts. Exiting the accidental dungeon item cellar sent Link back in the doorway, new sword in hand and the special item guy going through the motions again, offering the sword Link just got. Any attempt to move into the room again or back out the other way will send Link down the invisible stairs into the item cellar once again with yet another magical sword ready to grab. Needless to say, stuck in the loop, I reset the game and went back on the mapmaker to see what was going on.
I removed the special item guy and put the sword back on the ground like I made it initially and then saved the map and went back to re-test the dungeon. Now, since all that happened, the Leave Life or Money Fairy no longer does anything as you can see in this screenie. Also, there is a heart container now in the item select screen and not only can Link still pick up the 13 heart sword with only 4 hearts, his wooden sword can now kill enemies as strong as Red Goriyas with one slice. Either something got corrupted in the game maker or I accidentally changed something and didn't notice. Anyone got some ideas? I'd hate to have to download another mapmaker and remake the quest all over again. I'm almost halfway done!

Additionally, placing any new leave life or money guys anywhere else doesn't work. The Guy will stand there without saying his string. So the money life combo is completely disabled now and I don't have any idea why.
