The perfect canyon glitch

[Xobie]

I've been expanding on my game "Foster Child" for awhile, got it up to 90%
useage, and when I tried to make an island surrounded by water, the water
was dirt, and I could run around on it. It stills reads 0 elevation, but I can't make it water anymore, so I made the entire field 255 elevation with forest everywhere, and then drew a line through it with ocean. Now I can run around in the ocean part because its dirt when I play it. Its the perfect canyon because of how the walls can't cut into "ocean" even though it plays as dirt, maybe the memory is too full. I don't want to sound foolish. so does anyone have a reason for this?

Use the water texture and just make it water.

Is easy.

I don't fully understand what you are saying, but that should give water wherever you need it.

I know that, Iv'e done it a million times, this time it is water, but when you play it, it's dirt, then I change it back, and try again, it's dirt again!

That does not give me enough information.

Are you in Preview Mode, Test Play Mode, or Play Mode?

Where does the water come from; The Elevation or the Texture?

I know different things happen to fields in all 3 modes.

Try Play Mode.

Other than that I'd need to see what's going on.

Perhaps it is, as you say, a glitch.

Try making a new one and if it works, trash the old one.

Good Luck with it.

Peace.

Re: The perfect canyon glitch

This is interesting, I've only done it on preview, and I set my character to warp right on the water, which shows up as 0 elevation, and dirt. So if it really is water in play mode, he will warp onto the water if the glitch is fixed.
which would be really cool, like walking through a canyon ontop of water.
Sorry if im unable to find the words to explain it better, it would make perfect sense if u could c it.

Re: The perfect canyon glitch

That works in test play, but in real play the game would freeze if you try warping somewhere you can't walk.

Test playing is essential to seeing how things really work.

I'm still at a loss on why the texture would change... I'll try a couple experiments next time I have 3 in the machine. Right now I'm busy changing the sounds in TETRIS for RPGM2 (NOT my game, but I won the contest and the prize was the password, so I'm playing around a bit).

Good Luck with it.

Peace.

Re: The perfect canyon glitch

There would be plenty of ways to make a new game if this game remains glitched up, I give it a shot in accuall game play to see what i CAN DO
