Parameters

Beyond the piece above, the parameters hold these fields. The editor shows each as a labelled control.

• Piece bits 12–15: 0 Floating Platform (0), 1 Floating Platform (1), 2 Floating Platform (2), 3 Water-Level Pillar (3), 4 Switch Pillar (4), 5 Switch Pillar (5), 6 Switch Pillar (6), 7 Path Platform (7)8 of 16 values usedWhich Water Temple piece this is. The three platforms (0-2) are carved blocks that ride the scene's third water box; the pillars (3-6) are one tall slab that slides up — 3 to a height picked by the temple's water-level flags, 4-6 when their switch flag sets — and each spawns a hookshot-target block beside it. 7 is the wide platform that travels a path.
• Path Index bits 8–11: 0–15. Read when the path platform (7).all 16 values usedWhich of the scene's paths the actor follows, as drawn in Actors mode. If the scene has no path at that index, the game can crash.
• Speed bits 4–7: 0–15. Read when the moving pieces (3-7).all 16 values usedTravel speed in tenths of a unit per frame for the path platform. For the pillars it only gates the moving SOUND — 0 raises and lowers them silently.
• Start Waypoint bits 0–3: 0–15. Read when the path platform (7).all 16 values usedWhich point of the path the platform starts from, and heads on from.
• Switch Flag bits 0–5: 0–63. Read when the switch pillars (4-6).all 64 values usedThe pillar stands raised while this flag is set. One of the scene's 64 switch flags. Actors that share a number are linked: when one sets it, every actor reading it reacts. Flags 0 to 31 are saved with the game, 32 to 55 reset when you leave the scene, and 56 to 63 reset on every room change. Pick a number nothing else in this scene uses unless you mean to link them. The panel's link list shows who shares it.
