Add reserve trigger bomb boosts #1513

Open blkerby opened 4 months ago

blkerby commented 4 months ago

A reserve trigger can be used to run out the timer on a bomb or Power Bomb. This can allow getting a bomb boost in situations where it otherwise would not be possible, e.g. where the bomb is laid

In heated rooms, heat damage could be used to trigger reserves. Crossing Crocomire Escape could be a possible application.

In other rooms, enemy damage could be used to trigger reserves, using pause abuse to allow time to position and lay the bomb/PB. One or more frame-perfect pauses could be used to allow more time to position, though it's unclear if this would be viable enough to be worth modeling. Getting to the top-right door of Plasma Spark from above (without walljump) is a possible application.
