Entry 118

Landing sounds and the object in focus

2026-10-165maudio

The landing (state 10, animation 4) has its own entry at 0x8005b624. After it starts the animation it picks a sound:

1. If the object in focus (player +0x1e8) is template 505, it plays sound 102 unplaced (0x8006f26c). The only 505 is level 11's LP 39 at (3681, 1087, 40474), flags 0x0a.
2. Otherwise, if the object stood on (+0xf8) is template 494, it plays 43 at the player. These are level 3's LP 103, 104 and 107 (shape 809, at about y -2100).
3. Otherwise, on a water tile (+0x8c byte 4 bit 0) in level 4, it plays 57 at the player.

The player now keeps two things for this:

• support: the box whose top is its floor.
• landed: set as the landing begins.

Each box carries its object's template. Static objects, things, breakables and movers set it.

The object in focus is worked out by 0x8006af4c. It is a template flag 8 object in the player's room list. Its cylinder must meet the player's (0x8006abbc), and its model must meet a vertical segment (0x8006a714). The segment runs from the root part down by the larger y extent of the player's bounds. boxes::focus stands in with the model's boxes: they must cover the player's (x, z) and span from the root to the feet.

Test: landing_in_water_splashes_aloud drops Spike 1500 above level 4's water nearest the start. Sound 57 is heard; a check against 58 fails, so the test runs. The water test's spot search is now shared as water_spot.
