Security (PQ2)

Airport Security

Room ID#(s):	20
Bugs & Glitches:	Yes
Odd Coding:	Yes

Notes

• The player can draw their gun AFTER getting past the security checkpoint.

• In an unusual scene, showing Bains' mugshot elicits a generic 'no one recognizes the mugshot' comment.

• If you walk up and down the gate enough times, the guard will start to comment on it.

• The security guard's reaction to the player's gun starts getting odd when the player is beyond the metal detector:

• The guard only notices the gun drawn along the left half of the screen and (mostly) below the metal detector, though being close to the guard will also trigger his response.

• If the player manages to show the guard Sonny's badge after he rips out his gun, the guard will halt his act of self-defense, sparing the player from a game over.

• If the player shows Sonny's badge while being searched (after failing to go through the detector twice), the guard will cancel his search, sparing the player a game over (after giving Sonny a stern dressing down over why he should have shown it, first).

• On slower PCs or by setting the variable global110 to < 20, Larry will not animate.

Slow Computers

• Larry does not animate (cross legs, etc.)

Commands

• look floor, ceiling

• look jerk (near Larry)

• get, cut, break rope

• arrest Larry

• show gun / kill guard (save first)

• You can do this on the other side of the guard (show badge first, then walk past the metal detector). This can make for a more entertaining game over and can only be done near the guard.

• F8

• The guard will only react if you do this along the bottom half of the screen, below the metal detector.

Airplane Crashes Suck! Category: Oops Credit: Kuro-chan 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes No No No No Purchase a pair of tickets to somewhere, get rid of Keith, then attempt to board the airplane. The game throws the player an "oops" since it (normally) calls for Keith to follow the player. By 1.000.006, the player is prevented from boarding the plane Keithless. This applies to both day 1 and day 2.

Bully Larry! Credit: Gage Holston Additional Research: Kuro-chan 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes If Sonny is along the same x-axis as Larry and he's too close for his arm shuffles, Larry will move one pixel away from sonny, effectively carting him across the screen. It is also possible that Larry will shift down a couple pixels, forcing the player to realign their position (try to line up Sonny's feet with Larry's).

I Have Houston Tickets! Is That OK? Credit: Gage Holston, Kuro-chan 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes Yes No No Yes The player can buy tickets to Houston on day 1, keep them for day 2, proceed through day 2 like usual until it is time to leave for Steelton, then use the tickets in place of ones for Steelton.

Physics Are For Keiths Credit: Santaclaus, Swimfan Additional Research: Kuro-chan 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes Yes No No No The player can clip through the pathing blockers by drawing the gun as they go down the escalator. Doing this interrupts the process and will allow the player to move around the screen, even skipping past the security check. Doing this removes the exit to the room through the escalator, so unless the player has tickets, this will soft lock the game.

The Brass Don't Care Today Credit: Gage Holston 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes ? No ? No This is but one of many rooms where shooting the gun gives an Instant Game Over. If timed well when going down the escalator, the player can get the text box for shooting to appear, but the room transitions before the rest of the Game Over script can finish. This seems only possible when Keith is with the player, as he moves a tiny bit after the shot is fired, allowing the script to continue just long enough to transition rooms. If the player does it late enough to not have the text box appear, but still transition rooms, shooting the gun will become disabled.

Really, He is That Good! Credit: Kuro-chan 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes No matter where the player is shot on the screen, Sonny will always appear along the bottom middle, in front of the metal detector. This was 'somewhat' fixed by J1.000.052. The security guy still faces forward while shooting Sonny, but now he drops dead where he was standing.

Slip, Sliding Cop Credit: Gage Holston 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes ? Yes ? Yes Pull out your gun close to the security guard in order to trigger his script to walk up and shoot the player. At any point of this animation, before he shoots you, type 'show badge.' This will cancel him trying to shoot you and the cop will proceed to slide back to his original position. For reasons unknown at the moment, this will usually immediately trigger the script for when walking through the metal detector. Depending on Sonny's position, it can potentially result in him getting stuck trying to walk in front of the counter.

Tunnel Trouble Credit: Gage Holston 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes Yes ? ? Yes The game uses a simple "and" statement to check whether the player is in the flight tunnel or not. If the player's y-coordinate is > 127 and x-coordinate is > 104, then the player is outside the tunnel, otherwise the player is considered inside it. The x-coordinate works well, but it's very easy to trigger the y check to fail as it's rather trivial to go lower than 127 in the receiving area. This causes the "and" check to fail and assume the player is in the tunnel when they might be nowhere near it.

Sidestepping Your Way Through! Credit: Gage Holston Additional Research: Kuro-chan 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes The security check scene happens while the player is walking upwards. By walking diagonally, the player can walk right through the checkpoint without needing to show a badge.

OK. I have mucho paperwork to finish. There is content that has been found since the page was last updated and needs to be included.
