Horror Game: Creating Puzzle B
Once the player has got through to the main room, they can move onto the next puzzle.
My idea for the puzzle for this room is that they will have to collect the glowing ring by finding their way across the slippery surface, jumping onto the platform and knocking off the ring from the chain. This will give them the ability to jump higher so they can reach the trigger on the high platform to open the door.
This puzzle is a little bit more complicated and means the player has more steps before they can open the door.
1) Cross the slippery surface
2) Jump onto platform
3) Knock off the glowing ring from the chain
4) Use High Jump ability to jump onto the higher platform
5) Set off the trigger and open the door
I had already created a slippery surface in a small area of the room. I wanted to create another slippery surface by the platform with the rings. I created a new large section of water surrounding the platform and duplicated the trigger box from the small slippery surface and dragged the duplicates over to the next set of water.
I was hoping that this would make the new set of water into a slippery surface too. However, when I tested it, the small section of water had the desired effect but the new section of water did not.
Slippery Surface test working with small section of water:
Slippery Surface test not working with new section of water:
To work out why this isn't working, I will go back through the process of creating a slippery surface.
I found that the reason this wasn't working was even though the trigger boxes were duplicated version of the first slippery surface trigger box, they are still classed as individual trigger boxes and needed their own code added.
I replicated the code for the slippery surface trigger boxes and tested the area again. It worked correctly this time, as shown by the pathways lighting up in the simulating blueprint.
