Using "Vehicles" in TR2/TR3 is a lot
easier w/ the new TRitem "set portals" switch,
Allowing them to travel into different rooms.
I made a TR3 "House" level; 2 rooms to test the Wheeler
in.A 10 X 12 connected to a 20 X 30 room.
Where the rooms joined together, I made an 8 X 3 units hi.
portal.
So in each room I selected these 8 sectors & set the portal
switches.
It worked slick. I suppose it would be possible to create
the illusion of one tremendously huge room by grafting
them together w/ these large portals...
Which would make for an interesting course.
and, apparently,
the snowmobile can dive down into a water-filled room below,
but it cannot return to the room above.
Kind of "caught in limbo" where the rooms meet.
Although, I did make one pool w/ an underwater Ramp...
& the snomobile was able to blast up through, back into room1.
Wish I could remember how I did that one...
