If you set a Push flag* ...
- ...on a combo with no properties, it will trigger the "stair" secret alone and emit no secret noise. Permanent.
- ...on a combo with "Push-wait" properties, it will immediately trigger all secrets on the screen, BUT, it is only temporary.
- ...on a combo with "Push-heavy" properties, it will trigger the "stair" secret and emit a secret noise, AND, only after you have left the screen and returned, the other secrets will be triggered as you re-enter the screen. However, it is permanent.
- ...on any combo and then set a "Block Trigger" flag to push it onto, it will immediately trigger all secrets on the screen, but again, it is only temporary.
** in most cases, I'm referring to flags which are not marked as "NS."
Do you see my dilemma?
Now, another important fact is that a "trigger perm." could be used in conjuction with anything that gives temporary effects, and it will make those effects permanent; however, the "trigger perm." combo MUST be present on the screen from the moment you enter it. Making a "trigger perm." combo appear via a secret will not result in permanent effects. A common way of using "trigger perm." combos is to put something unwalkable on top of them on layer 1, then using the triggered secret to make it walkable.
Just in case you're wondering, the reason I really want a push block trigger is because I have an entire dungeon designed around pushing switches and then walking around to walk across the newly-opened area that the switch affected. I also have some graphics I've concocted which can only be used as intended by employing push flags. :\
