Timer for time based missions working weird in Story Mode #6

Closed BlazinZzetti closed 4 months ago

BlazinZzetti commented 1 year ago

For stages like Central City and Space Gadget, the timer that is used to track mission status will act differently based on if the player dies or restarts the stage.

This is only an issue in Story Mode, as it's intended to not reset the time on restarts.

Dying will reset the time to the last checkpoint time.
Restarting will not have an affect on the timer.

Central City Notes:

Goal Timer is always on screen.
On restart, Goal Timer syncs with level timer.
Death to Checkpoint reset the timer to the time at checkpoint.
If the level starts past 8 minutes, the timer is stuck at 0, but the mission is still complete-able.
The Goal Timer is in charge of Level Reset.

Target Result:

Only reset the Goal Timer on a Restart
- Player or Level Triggered.
Remove Checkpoint Respawn Time Sync

Space Gadget Notes:

Goal Timer only appears on Sonic
On restart, Goal Timer syncs with level timer.
Death to Checkpoint reset the timer to the time at checkpoint.
5 minutes instead of 8 for Central City
Goal Timer in charge of Mission Complete.
Mission Disappear on Fail.

Target Result:

Change to have goal timer always on screen just like Central City.
Same Target as Central City.

The Last Way is the same as Central City, but 10 minutes instead of 8.

Cosmic Fall is the same as well, but 15 minutes.

Updates from 53d2e8fa3ad2d0753fff65fd507b0dbe1e2cb129 should fix the issues with the mission timer, allowing it not reset unless the restart sequence is activate by either the player or the level.

However, there appears to be a bug with how the game determines if it should fail the mission, so additional work is needed to fix it to match the original game.

Seems like the repeating mission failed message is related to if a checkpoint has been hit since the appearance of the message.

Looked into this further and was able to make a patch to prevent the message from appearing again, but this broke how the end of Lethal Highway worked, and also it's actually correct behavior for Air Fleet Dark. So we will not be fixing this behavior and this issue will be closed.
