My only question would be about the Climber transitioning directly to a Slider when hitting a ceiling. Does this happen in Lemmings 2, as well, btw?
Anyway, this is certainly great for preventing Climbers from splatting. And I assume the Slider will turn around when reaching the bottom again (as a Slider sliding down a regular wall does in L2, even when it is a Climber)?
No idea about what happens in L2. I went with what made sense to me.
Yes, the slider will turn around at the bottom. This happens any time a slider (climber or otherwise) reaches the bottom of a wall or reaches water, regardless of whether the situation arose by sliding down from a ledge, sliding down after hitting head while climbing, or walljump-sliding and being assigned climber after latching on.
The
climber-splitter bug also affected Sliders, so the Slider exp will be based on "12.10.X + the fix for that bug" rather than 12.10.X stable.
