icon Accessory-based movement doesn't trigger pressure plates (+2)  
In 1.2.8.alpha.2020-10-16 using wall walking or warp token to move onto a pressure plate causes it to not trigger. On live builds plates trigger in both cases.

This change seems unintended and a forum search reveals that the same issue has come up before. Looking at the change list for 1.2.8, it seems like this might be a side effect of the following:

Thank you. Yes, you're right. This is a regression. I've merged a fix and will put up a new dev build presently.

I checked a range of accessory scenarios in 1.2.8.alpha.2020-10-29.

The player will correctly trigger a pressure plate when landing on it via use of a grappling hook, warp token and wall walking accessory.

The player will also drop trapdoors when moving off of them via these three means while armed.

The player will also pick up items they land on via these three means.

Much of this wasn't in the bug report but I thought I'd test it anyway.

Found another scenario by using Wall Walking or Warp Token to land on an accessory slot. This ends up with Wall Walking or Warp Token on the slot and no accessory equipped rather than empty slot and the accessory in hand. Tested this on 1.3 but have not tried the latest 1.2.8 build yet.

Can confirm in 1.3.0.446x the Wall Walking token is working correctly when landing on top of other accessories or empty accessory slots.

However the Warp token is not working correctly. Landing on an empty accessory slot leaves a Warp token in the player's hand. Landing on another accessory picks up the other accessory, but then replaces it with another Warp Token, so the other accessory you landed on is deleted (replaced with an empty accessory slot on the floor).

Ah, I fixed the problem in the code, but didn't update the build. Apologies for inconviences. Hopefully it won't be too long until the next build, as not many bugs or feature requests remain.

Can confirm fixed in 1.3.0.499. Using the warp token to land on another accessory or accessory slot now behaves correctly.
