Most epic ice bug ever

[Alblaka]

I can't give the complete code due to it being a part of my new secret project...

However:
The character uses some ice attacks. Actuall, i managed to store all his 4 moves in a single file.
After i added the 4th move, a strange bug started to occur: Whenever the T3 (file) was summoned, some ice shards were spawned, completely regardless of the state or frame number.

Looked quite nice for some moves, but one of them spawned multiple versions of this file with some nice star effects... now it spawned hundreds of ice shards instead XD

I looked at the Data, made a random pick and WTFGDH found the error on the first try:

Frame 0 had state 13 (Frozen). I set the state back to 15 and voila, the bug disappeared.
Seems like frame 0 is some kind of "main frame" for an object, regardless on which action it's summoned. And since state: 13 seems to be (hardcoded) somewhat related to the broken ice shards effect from frame 202, this strange bug occurs.

I tested multiple files, the bug does ALWAYS occur (for T3s) if the frame 0 contains a state: 13.
You're free to test/replicate the bug for yourself ^^



Dunno whether somebody could actually get a use of it...
But it's a prove for LF2 still having it's secrets

Wow and i thought pretty much everything to know about lf2 was already found out its good to know that there are some secrets waiting to be discovered.....or maybe that was the last one....lol either way i have to try this bug out oh btw I am trying to use punctuation more since you complained about it.
;p

Are you sure its a bug?
maybe its a feature

[YinYin]

if it is its a feature never used before

the ice effect is also hard coded to the ice frames (200 onwards)
so if you ever use those they may have that effect even without state 13

@YinYin
I think he knows (just forgotten the exact frame number)

And since state: 13 seems to be (hardcoded) somewhat related to the broken ice shards effect from frame 202, this strange bug occurs.
