Eyes Open

An exercise in the Evil Eye effect.

Eyes Open

      I was admiring @cpw's implementation of the Evil Eye in Three Idiots, and then one thing led to another ..

      I was really exploring the Evil Eye, so the unsticky elevator was an unintentional find (for me). I don't know if it's a known effect, but I've found that if you wiggle the elevator at the top of its travel, then it will eventually stick - you need to let go then, for bots to proceed.

      It can be a bit frustrating, even once you get the knack, so if anyone knows of an easier method, please shout! Happily though, it's not as frustrating as some other tricks!

      Also part of this level - the raised zapper hack.

      Excellent small tricky level. My win was very similar but i didn’t freeze R at the end.

      Fun, but you also need to know ...
      the raised zapper hack.
    • trids
      Thanks folks!
      @ridgerunner - yes, sometimes you can get away without it ;).
      @Don G Rowe - thanks, good point, I'll update the spoiler :thumbsup:

      Really nice little level, simple by some ways but tricky by others. Thanks for this share.

      May I suggest that instead of publishing a screenshot of the card, you just export it from the right bottom button of the application ? As is my app didn't seem to recognize the code, only from a zoomed screenshot. But extracting straight from the app is always the best option.

      Tried it, couldn't manage it... it's that zapper move that I have trouble with.

      @D.S.Masters
      • The raised zapper hack, that allows a bot to walk on unwalkables? You need to squeeze a zapper upwards against the fence (in this case) when you want a bot to walk on it. It's the opposite of the Evil Eye effect.
      • Or do you mean the zapper on the ground? That's the exploit I borrowed from @cpw's Three Idiots, where R can step down onto a zapper and back up again, but not down from a zapper. So when R is on the lever, you just need to get him to turn and step down onto the zapper on the ground (where he engages his Evil Eye against the wedge) and keep him there by opening the lever until you're ready for him to climb back on.
      Hope this helps ;)

      sugoooiiii


      old but gold.
      still few authors in 2020
      using these tricks.

      anyway,
      is there any exact way to make the dragable stucked with just one try?
      or it occur by chance?
