These are classical ``cascades'', and
variations developed from it.

arch sign
name Teleport Cascades
msg
Teleport cascades 'port the boulder
from one position to another. In fact
other than to initialise the cascade
fences are NOT required, and the
teleports to not have to be in any
order or even near each other.
--
The disadvantage however is that you
can't just cut and paste the cascade to
a different location as you can with
the other cascades.
--
Note the cascade in this direction
(right to left) is by default, instant.
Presumably as the crossfire server
processed the map objects from bottom
right to top left. As such the boulder
teleports through ALL the teleports in
the same server `tick', as all the
teleports `activate at the same moment.
--
This is NOT a problem in other direction
(left to right, or top-down) where
the boulder jumps over `update wave'.
See the example in `special_objects' map
for the other direction.
--
A couple of solutions to this `update
wave' is availble none of them very nice.
The solution I am using is to set the
initial ``speed_left'' to .5 for every
second teleport in the cascade, to
place them half way out of phase with
the others on either side of the
cascade sequence.

Arrgghh more programing

arch sign
name Slow Trigger Cascades
msg
These are very very slow due to the long
timeout period of a trigger gate. This
time out does not seem to be modifiable
at this time. But for long timing
sequences this is probably unbeatable.
(Slow fuse anyone?)

arch sign_e
name Default Down (Raffle Cascade)
msg
The first of which are the most
commonally used in the current crossfire
maps.  It is also probably the neatest,
but with a lot of programming.
endmsg

end
arch sign_e
name Default Up
msg
This cascade I think is the most useful
for controlling sequences of functions.
--
The reason is that at each point the
boulder pauses longer, giving enough to
allow any other connected spikes to roll
an item off it.
--
The classical cascade can not do this.
--
Also only one button is required to keep
the cascade in motion. Better than the
two required for the classical. and
easier to program.
--
Also as all spikes are up by default
a cascade loop does NOT require fencing
in the middle of the loop!

arch sign_e
name Up with look ahead
msg
By adding a second button to lower the
gates two squares ahead of the boulder
the cascade speeds up to the equal of
the classical cascade, but with spikes
up.
--
Better to use a classical `down' cascade
instead. The exception is for very large
loops where with care at the corners you
can compact the loop into a tight space
without needing extra internal fencing.

end
arch sign_e
name Up/Down
msg
A trial variation I just threw in to see
what happens. I expected it to have a
speed between the first two cascades.
--
Unexpectantally however, this cascade
is FASTER than the original cascade.
--
The reason is that the `up' spikes
never fully lowerer before receiving the
boulder (or token object), and so rolls
the object off faster!

Its a bit faster than the above trigger
gates, but not by much!
endmsg

end
arch sign_e
name Trigger n Up
msg
This cascade is a bit faster still, and
uses only 4 buttons in stead of 8 or 16.
-- 
It relies on the fact that trigger gate
timer is reset (re-triggered) when the
boulder rolls off the connected button.
as such each button will setup a
`surge' of boulder movement over 2
squares.
-- 
In fact if the trigger gate time period
can be set to an exact time period, it
would be posible to run a whole cascade
with just the initial `trigger' signal!
And have total control of the time the
boulder sits in each location as well.
The ideal solution. As it is we have
only boulder surges. which is not a
great deal of use.
