[Resolved] Making a key drop from the ceiling?

[Feaw]

Gonna go ahead and ask a third question haha.

So basically, I want to have a key drop down like the bombs that fall down when you make an incorrect move in the campaign puzzles. I hiiiighly doubt this is possible, since I'm pretty sure the bombs are hardcoded/prefabs to fall down when called, but if anyone knows how I can achieve this, let me know. Ideally it would make a small bounce, but that's likely not gonna happen haha.

Its possible, just make the sprites and use Hammersprite

i mean theres more to it than just that but yeah

Hmmm....yeah I think I'll just make a doodad key item, I want it to open a gate instead of a normal door anyway, so that way it won't end up in your inventory (you can't edit it out of your inventory once obtained unless you open a door).
I can just make it play the animation once it enters, looking as if it falls down, make a little bounce and time the sound right when it bounces.
I don't think I'm gonna use hammersprite for this, though, I've heard many people have issues with it. I'm just gonna do it manually I think.

Thank you!

I changed my mind now, and I'm just adding a new key item with a slightly different graphic that won't work like the other keys, and doesn't really have a purpose on it's own without scripts (like the orbs etc). It will just spawn when you destroy a certain object, instead of falling down.

I might still try and see if a falling key is possible, though, it might be neat for another event!

Very few graphical things you see in the game are hardcoded, the bombs that falls are made in the same way I made the chests and icicles falls in the survival level. It's just an animated bomb that drops, then on the landing frame I spawn a bomb from a spawn script, very simple.

Oh! Just play an effect that has the animation of a falling key, and add the key item, and time it right so it spawns at the exact moment it hits the ground . Never thought it'd be that easy. Might as well just do that instead of the spawning from the object.

Thanks Hipshot! =)
