Sly 2:Circle Button Interacts: Difference between revisions

Poles, or any object that acts like them (Sly holds his cane in his mouth) are objects independent of the actual pole model. They contain an invisible spline with varying amounts of points depending on the size and shape of the pole. Note that pole interacts attached to pool-able poles do pool along with them., These may alsoand stop working and/or despawn if moved too far away from their assigned pole object.:

Magenta: Controls character-specific interactions when nearby. The "FFFFFFFF" can be changed to a text string ID, which causes it to display that string in the infobox GUI element, just like doors that warn you about abandoning jobs. If you climb the pole then jump off, an icon for that character will appear and follow you just like the sparkles do. The "00000001" dictates which character can use the pole. Setting it to 00000002 makes the makes it stop emitting blue sparkles and start emitting green sparkles, letting Bentley climb it with his unused climbing ability. Setting it to 00000004 does the same thing but purple particles and Murray. Setting it to 00000000 essentially disables the pole. Setting it to 000000FF makes the interact work with all characters, removing the need to use conditionals to let different characters use the interact. Values such as 3, 5, 6, and higher act like 1, 2, and 4, so the value's entire purpose is unknown. Poles are the only Thief Move-related circle button object other than Sneak Triggers that Bentley and Murray can interact with.

The struct is slightly shorter than pole structs, however they contain more unknown data. A rope next to the Paris safehouse is used here as an example:

Cane Swings, as in the interact Sly latches onto to swing on a round yellow hook, have the smallest interact structs in the game. While they are independent of the actual hook model, they don't work unless placed near them.

Crawlspaces, as in low-to-the-ground first person camera mode areas, only work if placed next to their intended crawlspace geometry, or perhaps any overhead geometry, potentially detected via raycast. These can be found by interacting with one as Sly and going 0x4D4 from his struct.
