The reasoning is that designers can, for future mansions, rely on specific timing of the platforms, knowing that when the player enters a room, the platforms will always be starting at the same value. So they can put skeleton fish, spiders, or other obstacles in the room along with the disappearing floors, knowing that the timing will always be the same each time the player enters the room.
Since this would be a good improvement for the game, I'm wondering how many custom mansions would be messed up if the game is left as-is, and would it be hard to fix them?
Thanks for the explanation. I am not sure how many CM's this will affect. The remedy is actually quite simple: Use the thick ghost platforms rather than the thin ones if you want Jack to jump from one room to another and land on such a platform.
Btw. this change created an interesting situation in one room in the grey section of
A Resort for Retired Goldhunters. I'm not sure if it changes the hardiness of the room (propably a matter of taste). I could make the player's life easier by changing the platform from thin to thick type but no. This IS a very hard mansion [smiley=evil.gif]
