Grimrock

I have some kinda strangeness going on. I have the room set up below (kinda my tribute to the second level skelly warrior room). The blue dot is a rock, although any item will act the same way.

Pick up the rock...throw it toward the central pressure plate...and it vanshes, only to be found in the room on the upper right (which starts off closed).

Any ideas?

...And there's no teleporter there?
Maybe someone's got a script that's saying to move rocks to a certain square. (assuming it's for the round robin)

Do blockers on the square of a monster stop it from moving? o:

No such scripts present (it's actually for my own mod). Can't figure it out. I want to set up more sample rooms to see if it's one map or one particular section of a map, or throughout the whole mod now [EDIT: But my gf is home now, so it will have to wait until tomorrow, unless someone has any ideas before then].

The blockers allow the monsters to move through them (when they start on the same space), but they won't move back into them. Very handy, that.

Ooh that is a good idea.

Good eye on spotting the blockers, btw.

Now HELP ME!! You're one of the resident geniouses here.

[EDIT:} Ok...on other floors they soar through the air like you're tossing them away (instead of landing three or four blocks away). Al I can figure out is it has to be a custom asset, and that makes me sad. And sweat a bit. Although I have no idea what would affect the rock. And that still doesn't explain the trajectory change on the other level.

Going to go ruminate over supper.

Idk. I really don't know. The only thing that would make sense is something else behaving strangely in the mod.

Just fishing an idea out there. Have you been adding custom assets at all?
If so, try defining one more custom asset. Any custom asset.
I don't think it'll work, but it's all I've got.

I tried replicating the situation -- works fine without any scripts. The stone lands on the pressure plate and stays there. I don't know how you've handled yours. But it has to have something to do with scripts or custom assets, methinks.

I quess the lamp you have in the middle is such an asset, since you don't have a ceiling shaft for it? Could colliding with it do something weird? Try removing and altering parts of the puzzle one by one to isolate the problem, thats all I can think of right now.

Good luck as well. : /

Thanks, guys. I have an idea as to which custom asset it is, but won't be able to test it until tomorrow. I'm thinking the lamp isn't an issue, since I'm having difficulties on other floors as well.

Try cloning/redefining the rock

Ok..I haven't tried cloning the rock yet, but I have gone through most of the other floors and, as far as I can tell, the problem seems isolated to this floor.

This map also features a separate room that the player accesses much earlier on in the game, and that room does the same thing: toss the rock (as if over a pit), and you hear the "whoosh" sound and it simply vanishes. No idea where most of them end up. I had thought maybe they all went to that room, no matter where they were thrown, but that's not the case.

New pic of entire map below: This is driving me crazy.

[EDIT - 0700] Pic fixed now. Will try cloning in an hour or so. I'll also go through all my teles to make sure nothing is funky there. I appreciate any ideas anyone has.

[EDIT again: 0830} I've deleted every teleporter on the floor, and no changes. Now I'm going to try cloning.
