Exits and Transition Actors

[SanguinettiMods]

Do I need a transition actor to use an exit? I'm not completely sure how this works.

That depends. If you want to make a door exit from a map, you'll need a transition actor that loads the same room front and back and collision to stop the player from walking through the door actor (which has no collision of its own) onto the exit collision. Exits like the one from Kakariko onto Hyrule Field don't need transition actors, just collision with an exit assigned to it.

So, Let's say I wanted to make an exit through a "ruin-like doorway" I would, in my collision file, have a wall there? Then, how would I assign an exit to -That specific wall- ?

^^ That was for making exits in custom maps back when obj2area was the only OBJ importer but I assume that you're using SharpOcarina.

 

SharpOcarina assigns different polygon collision types to different groups. So, assign the polygon(s) you wish to act as exits to one group (in SketchUp) for each and every different exit (not sure if that was confusing or not...). From there, edit the polygon type of those different groups in the Collision tab of SharpOcarina.

Yes, that is what you would have to do.

I believe exit collision can only be on horizontal polygons (or any polygon you can stand on) and not on vertical polygons. You can, however, make a vertical polygon "climable" (of course).

Do you think you could provide screenshots? I know which tabs you're talking about, but Adding Exits.... It doesn't seem like it does anything to the polygon type...

Okay, you know the field labelled 'Raw Data'? Change the sixth digit from the left to the number of the exit you want to use from the exit list. There's only one exit in this map, but it's the first one, so you can see that it's set to '1'.

[SanguinettiMods]

That helps immensely, I'll try it right away.

I should probably add an exit option somewhere on that tab, so that you don't have to change the raw data for that anymore...

This may sound dumb, but what all is in that "raw data" except for 0001? As in what does it include?
