Is there a way to have a secret carry over to a different screen? For example link hits a a switch with a sword and the doors open to a dungeon on a different screen. How?

Just use the Room State Carryover function in the Screen Data tab. Then, just mark off the ones you DON'T want to carry over to the other screen. And, set the screen's coordinates (the coordinates of the screen you want the secret to carry over TO) in the boxes on the left.

That should do it! (Unless I missed something )

Thank you.

[AgentLym]

No prob!

You missed something. Not only do you have to have screen 1 carry over to screen 2, but

S1 -> S2 -> S1

It has to be a loop.

Close! Very close!

You mean to say that Screen 2 must have a state carryover to Screen 1 AND Screen 1 must have a state carryover to Screen 2? That actually clarifies a lot. Thank you.

Who told you that?

You don't need to do that at all.


If you had to do that, you wouldn't be able to set up secrets from one screen that triggered the secrets on multiple screens, and you most certainly can.

Actually Joe, it doesn't work for me unless I make that loop.

It works in an Overworld d-map without a loop I'm pretty sure...

But in a d-map where secrets reset, you may have to have a loop. I haven't really tested it out, though.

[Purplemandown]

Hmmm... Interesting. It only worked when I had the loop, even in an interior Dmap. Those secrets ARE permanant.

You can make it so more than two screens are connected. Ahem:

S1 -> S2 -> S3 -> S1
OR
S1 -> S2 -> S3 -> S4 -> S1
ect.

Thing is, when screens are looped like this, the trigger in (let's say) Screen 1 (The trigger doesn't have to be there, it's just for example), it triggers secrent for ALL the screens in the loop. So the trigger in 1 would cause secrents in 1, 2, 3, and 4. Oh, and you can have MORE screens too, just remember all of them get triggered as well.

You can't do it at all on a DMap where the secrets reset.


And there is absoultely no need for a loop, I'm not just making this up ¬_¬

[AgentLym]

I'm with Joe. I don't use loops for mine, either.

Maybe it depends on which build you're using...? Maybe a bug?

[Joe123]

I think it depends on how confused you are ;-)

That would make sense. To be honest, I never actually got RSCs to work. I still use the 2.10 way of doing it.

[Joe123]

!

Well don't be doing that in aKttH will you!

It's not exactly difficult...
You go to the Screen Data for the screen with the trigger, and you go to RSC, and set the Map number and Map, not DMap coordinate for the screen you want the trigger to affect.

That's all there is to it.
