I mean completely fair that you didn't test it without twister since it's a +1h of running/jumping the same route fight Any idea why them flying into a wall makes them respawn faster?

Doing helvetia without twister was already enough :Obelul:

The reason they respawn faster that way is simple. There is only one pirate captain in Egypt, so only one can be on screen at the same time. If the guy dies, the game checks if there might be another available, but there is not, so it waits until the captain is "free" again. The captain becomes free when he is done flying, this is either when he flies for a few seconds or when he hits a wall while flying, that will instantly make him despawn and become free

mr.neutrality

Is one captain only in egypt hardcoded? Beacause isn't it the only centurio type enemy with that restriction?

pegperegogaucho

It depends on the level. The level file only has a fixed amount of enemies in it that can be used in any fight, so, if there is only one enemy, you would need to add a new enemy into the level. Modern games will just create a new enemy but that is not possible in XXL. In UXXL I did not add any enemies into the levels, so I was still limited by the amount of enemies the original developers put in. In Helvetia there is also only one Centurion

pegperegogaucho

It's now possible to easily add new enemies into the level, but I can't do this for UXXL because it would change the gameplay (In some fights there might be more enemies than usual)

mr.neutrality

Never noticed that helvetia only has one centurion...

How does that work? :FrogThinking:

pegperegogaucho

How does what work?

pegperegogaucho

It's the same principle with the crates, there are only a specific amount of them inside a pool

hesopesomeso

Were you talking about the number of hooks available?

pegperegogaucho

Sure

hesopesomeso

Okay, just trying to understand 👍

pegperegogaucho

No problem 😃

pegperegogaucho

I tried to keep it simple, no french XXL terminology 🇫🇷

pegperegogaucho

French to English translation table: Turnstile = Wheel Telepher = Cable car Hook = Interactive object CrumblyZone = Wall RollingStone = Ball PressionStone = Pressure plate Hearth = Fireplace MegaAshtray = Trapdoor TeleBridge = Bridge DrawBridge = Bridge ClueMan = Sam :SamRat:

hesopesomeso

Taken straight from a dictionary :KEKW:

hesopesomeso

And what about the obvious misspell Beacon**K**luster? :Obelul:

pegperegogaucho

It might be on purpose

pegperegogaucho

Because it also appears in MeshKluster
