im trying to build a level, but my efforts came to an end when i tried to place a mimic with a staff as a weapon.

to be clear: i want the mimic to hold the staff when beethro enters the room, no tokens should be used.

thank you

kind regards

This can be done with a simple script. Place a Character (bottom-right entry in the monster list) in your room. Set its type to Mimic and tick the box that says 'Visible'. Then add the following commands:

Set var _MyWeapon = 3
Turn into monster

You may also add the following, if you want the mimic to start facing the same way as the player (this should go above 'Turn into monster').

Set var _MyO = _O

Well, there's a decent list in the game's help files. Press F1 while editing a room and it should be the third link just below the game's title.

If you just want to directly paste in the code in Doom's post, you can also do that. Copy it into your computer's clipboard, then go into the script editing menu for the character and press ctrl+shift+b (well, on windows anyway; I don't know about other OSes).
