Add Grapple Warping strats #1189

Closed blkerby closed 5 months ago

blkerby commented 10 months ago

Triggering a door transition while grappling results in Samus' position being overwritten after the transition, allowing the player to potentially warp to a distant part of the next room. Red Brinstar Fireflea Room is an example where you can exit the left door in this way. We could add a new pair of exit/entrance conditions to be able to model strats like this.

I think Red Brinstar Firefleas is the only room where you can do this. Entrance/Exit conditions make sense. The tech itself is very similar to a grappleClip but with a frame perfect moonwalk. And the effect puts Samus on the leftmost room tile of the room. And I forget if the room tile is on the top row, or in line with the door. But there certainly are skips possible with a grapple warp.
