This is my brand new hold Val Unrich. It is right now going through hold submission. With over sixty rooms it is a original aspect of TCB. There is no sworded puzzles in the entire hold. Instead you are a flying creature that can attack by itself. A new aspect of the hold is that there is lots of flying over pit where no creature other than a wraithwing will harm you.

I'm just hyped about it. WooT!

The idea of a wraithwing-hold sounds good. But actually I hoped to see a hold file instead of a "promotion picture". Honestly I don't like people making preanouncment of holds, but anyway I'm looking forward playing your hold.

How is one going to set off those pressure plates with a flying character?
But the concept sounds fantastic.

Erm... in 3.1, flying player roles won't be able to trigger pressure plates. You might be able to hack around it with scripting, but it defeats the object.

Or put an mirror (or monster) in a tile adjacent to every pressure plate.

Actually there is a easier way to do that. Only works in certain places though.

I've not experimented with this, but that scripting loop with pressure plate activation sounds actually like a very handful method to me, assuming it works as descripted.

First of all, a goblin character is a rather bad idea in the room you've shown in the screenshot, even though I find it quite an ingenious idea.

Secondly, if you wanted to use the official wraithwing sprites as an earlier version did, this would also make that possible (as there'd no longer be need for custom characters)

Easier? Hard to say. But better? Not really if you ask me.

The scripting loop doesn't work with 3.0.1

So is your plan to have this hold eventually only work under 3.1? What's its status right now? (It's been working OK for me so far...)

It doesn't? Hmm. Try changing 'Wait 0' to 'Wait 1'. There's no reason why that shouldn't work...

That's not why it doesn't work! The problem is that in 3.0.1 the wraithwing role activates the plate AND the character activates the plate. Then it doesn't work with any toggle plates.

Oh. *Duh*! Sorry. It'll work in 3.1, though.

Actually, I made those (if you are referring to the ones in the level 'HL' [abbreviated to avoid story being given away]). Otherwise, they are relay stations (as in the stuff that builders use).

I will talk to the Spitemaster, and if he agrees, you can have it.
