[edit] Purpose

Combo flags can be used for many different purposes, including but not limited to:

• Revealing secret combos after a certain action has been completed
• Defining push block behavior
• Defining areas where enemies will or will not spawn

[edit] Difference from Combo Types

Combo flags should not be confused with Combo Types, although they are very similar. Combo Types, accessible by editing a combo, generally affect the characteristics of the terrain that combo is used for, while flags usually define miscellaneous properties and can be selected using the Tools->Flags menu, then placed over other combos. In this way, a combo may have both a Combo Type and a Combo Flag simultaneously. Flags that are included with a combo and not manually placed are called inherent flags.

[edit] Placing Flags

Normal flags are placed in ZQuest using the Tools/Flags menu item or the hotkey F8. This brings up the flags dialog where you select a flag to place. You then enter flag placing mode: click on a combo to place the flag selected on it. The Escape key exits flag placing mode again. To remove a flag, select flag 0 in the flags dialog and place that on the combo. The hotkey F displays flags on the current screen.

Flags and secrets go hand in hand - the Data/Secret Combos menu option opens the secrets dialog. Flags can be used to trigger secrets on the screen, which in turn affect other flags.

Flagging Secret Combos is done by holding the Control (or Command) key while clicking on a combo in the secrets dialog. This allows you to set flags on combos that appear when secrets trigger, making it possible to have Tiered Secrets.

[edit] Inherent Flags

An inherent flag is a flag that is assigned to a combo in the same way as a combo type is. Inherent flags allow for two flags to be present on the same space at the same time.

All flags work correctly when used inherently.

[edit] List of Combo Flags

[edit] Screen Secrets-Related Flags

These flags affect exactly what conditions will trigger Screen Secrets.

16-31 Secret Tile 0-15 

When placed on a combo, causes that combo to change to the appropriate Secret Combo when the secret combos are triggered on that screen. Also, a Destructible Combo with these flags changes to the appropriate Secret Combo instead of the screen's Under Combo.

94 Singular 

If used as an inherent flag with a Trigger Combo Flag (or vice versa), then triggering the Trigger Combo Flag will prevent the Screen Secrets process from changing the other flagged combos in the screen. That is to say even when every singular flag is triggered, it will not immediately trigger the other secret combos, even if the Screen Flag, "All Triggers->16-31" is set without accompaniment with other screen flags.

95 Singular(+16-31) 

As with 94, but the Secret Tile (16-31) flagged combos are still permitted to change. (Note: the "All Triggers->16-31" Screen Flag overrides this.)

[edit] Stair Based Flags

9 Armos (->Secret) 

When placed on an Armos, causes the "Stairs" secret combo to appear when the Armos is triggered, instead of the screen's Under Combo.

[edit] Special Item-Based Flags

13 Dive for Item 

When Link dives on this combo (make it a water combo, of course), he will recieve the Room's Special Item.

10 Armos (->Item) 

When placed on an Armos or treasure chest, causes the room's Special Item to appear when the combo is activated.

[edit] Walk Effect Flags

These flags produce certain effects when Link walks on them.

7 Fairy (Life) 

Makes a heart ring appear on screen when Link steps on it, causing his Life to be refilled.

8 Raft 

Placed in paths to define the path Link travels when using the Raft. It should start on the "dock", and end on a walkable combo. If a path branches, Link takes the clockwise-most path, starting from North (needs confirmation)

12 Raft Branch 

Placed at intersections of Raft flag paths to define points the player may change directions by holding down a direction.

15 Zelda 

When Link steps on this flag, the game will end, and the credits will roll.

92 Fairy (Magic) 

Makes a heart ring appear on screen when Link steps on it, causing his Magic to be refilled.

93 Fairy (All) 

Makes a heart ring appear on screen when Link steps on it, causing both his Life AND Magic to be refilled.

[edit] Enemy Placement Flags

Ditto, but in the indicated directions.

59-65 Push (*dir*, Many, Silent) 

Same as 52-58, but can be pushed many times. Does not trigger secrets.

67 No Push Blocks 

Prevents a block from being pushed onto this combo. Note that solid combos already prevent blocks from being pushed onto them.

91 Block Hole
