Subject: Re: Inv. arrow effects in top part of ro

 

"I'm trying to get a moving platform type thing
in one of the rows in the top quarter of the
screen.

"Is it possible to do this using invalid arrows?
Since the effects of inv arrows manifest themselves
benath the actual arrow it's proving tricky."

In
JSW (again) I had invalid arrow effects appear
*above* the arrows! They didn't create platforms, but I
imagine if you tweaked them then they would.

The
arrows were in the room "Lineation". Maybe looking at
them could help? I haven't looked at JSW (again) for a
while...

"I tried putting the arrows in the lower part of the
room hoping thta the effects would occur at the top
(as a kind of wraparound) but no joy."

My
arrows were in the lower part of the room. However, they
*were* touching other invalid arrows... :-)
