This is weird, anyone have a theory or answer?

[giadrosich]

Does anyone have a reason for this? I was fixing something in Jabu, and found this in the room with the two Like-Likes.

 

I can understand the Time Blocks but not the hookshot targets--what is this, leftovers or something? It's floating above the room in this weird pattern.

my guess is that you could've accidentally put something in the file between the end of the header and actor list, offsetting the start, and it's thinking that 2 or possibly more of the entries are something they're not.

[giadrosich]

That would be an interesting theory---but this is here normally. This is in a clean rom.

They're down by default iirc. There's a like-like between the blocks and the targets, and when you set a switch somewhere, the targets go up and the like-like can drop down into the room. Pretty clever, I thought.

Possibly used as some sort of developer guide or marker, then left over? Just wild speculation.edit - Deathbasket beat me to it. Sounds pretty cool!

[giadrosich]

interesting...weird way of doing it. The like-likes drop without hitting the switch though.

Now this is interesting because I found hookshot targets in V1.0's Dodongo's Cavern, in map 0. They are positioned out of bounds and never load because the map lacks the proper object.

 

Using my custom program, not sure if Deathbasket is 100% correct. In the Debug rom there are hookshot spots in maps 4, 5, 11, 13. All the hookshot spots are in scene setup 0 (meaning the main dungeon, rather than the "alpha" dungeon).

[giadrosich]

That is weird...do you think it was just used as some sort of placeholder for something?

Looking at it (the coordinate printout), those tot blocks + hookshot targets in map 11 are definitely Like-Like traps. Elsewhere I'm not sure. Map 13 is odd because it has a single Hookshot target and not much else.

[giadrosich]

Creative way of making a trap, for sure.

If they're in other maps too, is it possible that there was some sort of template room that was used in development? Quite often when I work on various things, I just open the last file I used and save as something else right away. I'm sure I'm not the only person who does this haha.
