How to make a static object be able to be walked through...

The sprites and whatnot that Wlhack did for me in his exe all those months ago is good. But some objects are wrong. By wrong, I mean, you cannot walk through the pots and pans static objects. It's weird, and it makes one of my levels unfinishable. So does anyone have an *easy* solution to this? Because if I change the exe I might have to re-add those static objects again. (In case you were wondering, it's Sod with Wolf3d objects)

Changing the EXE is the easiest solution, and you won't have to change your maps.

The static sprites are listed in WL_ACT1.CPP

Determine which one (??) is your pots and pans, and remove that line's "block" type:

(SPR_STAT_??, block),

to

(SPR_STAT_??),

and re-compile.

If you can't change the EXE, you'll have to re-assign the sprites in the VSWAP and use a non-blocking one for the pots and pans.

Hope this helps,
Andy

Then I start with a normal Sod source, and then I do some coding. I can do the max static object coding stuff anyhow. Easy as cake. But I think adding the other sprites will be hard. I'd have to re-add them.

Place a guard marching into the object right next to it. Oldest trick in the book... These days it's obsolete. Not to mention tacky.

Too bad I can't place a guard to march into pots and pans at every loction, since it'd look weird.

@Wizzie: Just do it where you need it to finish the level.

@Thomas: nice thinking!
