Operations Ventilations: Move lower missile geron more towards the middle

[Miepee]

In the current position its really easy to bump into if if you walk there from the left. Which happens when starting at that save station.
Depending on where exactly we move it to, we need to only do it on the "corridor" version of the room, as if you do it in the "shaft" version you'd end up interacting with it.

Sounds inconsistent to only move it in the corridor version. Especially since there's a clever means of destroying it during the fall through the shaft to make it easier to run through later.

[Miepee]

There is? Im not aware of it

[JaggerTSG]

Yup. You can fire missiles inside the block overlapping the geron, or place a pb as you descend. As it shares the enemy id of the horizontal room geron, both are flagged destroyed. No logical implications, though, as you can just enter the door and stop to destroy it.

[Miepee]

Ah ok, that wouldnt change then.

Sounds inconsistent to only move it in the corridor version

Yes, but I dont really see a nicer solution.
The closer we move the geron to the middle, the higher the chance it means of the player accidentally interacting with it.
E.g. if we move the geron here to the middle, so that its equal distance off of each door, then that means the player will be getting stopped by it from falling down:

And i'd rather have "a sprite's position doesn't exactly match up in two 'states' of a room" than "players keep accidentally bump into an enemy either because there is too little time to react to it, or because it (partially) clips into the players path"

I've had somewhat of an idea that might make moving it to the center feasible, but i'll have to do some testing locally to make sure that it's possible. We can possibly put a room-check in the geron init code for the maintenance tunnel and add a highjack to make it intangible and immune to weaponry in that room only. I'll see what I can do and report back when I'm able to get to testing.
