Special Rings in Single Player

[Joat]

Is there any way to make special rings (homing and such) appear in single-player mode without hacking the program? I tried A_SpawnObjectRelative, but it just made a normal ring appear. Am I going to have to create a custom-coded ‘pseudo-ring’ for each of these?

 

[Kaysakado]

I really have no idea whether there's a way to actually make them appear or not, but why not make a pseudo-ring?

 

[Joat]

Well, I figured out a mistake and made another. I entered in the wrong number at first. And now it’s summoning… a fan? Odd…

 

[Princess Plushima]

Sure you don't still have the number wrong?

For A_SpawnObjectRelative, you should be using 115 - 119.

One way to make the special rings appear is to start the map with ringslinger on.

 

[Zion Crayson]

Yeah. I mean, doesn't Mystic Realm have that kind of stuff already?

 

[Shiruba]

Yes. And you need to put "ringslinger 1" in the console for the items to show. Same for GemPlanet (I think).

 

[Joat]

Start the game with Ringslinger on?

*checks*

Oh, no wonder!

I would have thought that simply using a ringslinging character would be enough, but apparently not…

Also, I was using 115-119. Still made a fan appear.

object place is one way to do it.

 

[Joat]

Yes, but the point is for the special rings to already be there, not for the player to have to put it in themselves every time they play the stage.

 

[fox boy]

than i have no clue how

Well, the aforementioned method does work, provided I use a startup script to turn ringslinger on.
