Keen 3: purple spark in the Mangling Machine

I want the following patch for the purple spark: I can collect it like the other point items(or treasures), so when I run into it, it gives me 10000 points.

Shortly: when I run into the purple spark, it disappears and gives me 10000 points(so the sparkle behaves as a point item)

Maybe you could try making it a tile, animating it in tileset tool and making it a collectible?

That's okay, but I want the sparkle to give me 10000 points.

Well yea, you'd still need to patch it, but it would be a much simpler patch

This is simplicity itself to do; we just make the Spark respond to Keen instead of his shot:

Code: Select all

#Spark killed by Keen
%patch $4E22 $3F $02

#Points you get for shooting a spark (10'000)
%patch $4E44 [$2710W]

#How many sparks need to be shot to destroy the arms
%patch $4E53 [$0006W] $75
