Hi all,

Help!!!

I can't use this type of switch (stick hand in wall switch) and I really need / want to (it is a big part of this puzzle I am creating) I have typed -1 in the switch OCB and 1 in the objects OCB (like it says in the manual). but nothing!! I even looked in the example levels and did it like theirs and still nothing.

Please stop me from going out of my mind!...

Hi Lara
you have to create a four click high by four click deep space behind the switch object for it to work corectly and i'm pretty sure that you can only have four of these switches in your level and be sure to place the pickup on the floor behind the switch object

i think i read in the manual you have to put something in the OBC, try using a "1" and it should work, but you have to have the 4click by 4clicks though.

Yes I have the updated wads.

and yes I've tried 1

and 2 is crow bar

3 and 4 is small / large pedastal!

Could it be because I have put a puzzle item in there, for her to pick up?

Help me!!

Lara Severi, if you want lara to put her hand in there use a -1 on the switch object, then use the trigger for it, if you want her to pickup and object inside use a 1 on the OBJECT not the switch, that should work..if not, really read the reference section on cleo.wad in the manual, they explain this.Good luck!

I am making my black palace level with the palace wad. I have several switches with the switch animation stick in wall type. Just press 2 in the ocb of the switch type. It hasnt anything to do with the crowbar. That is number 2 for the door! not the switch! You cant hide a piece inside for a pickup and a switch type at once.

The Black Palace will be ready at the end of april. Make shure you have played Catacomb Towers to enter the main gate in the Black Palace. Without the clock-work beetle you wont get in!!!
