Summary0008939: Room Layout that leads to easily being trapped, and teleportation glitches.
DescriptionPicture is extremely relevant in this situation.

I found a small alcove with a glyph transplant scroll that I rather wanted in it, so I equipped my power slide enchant and slid in to grab it.

I then realized it was a foolish mistake, as I had no way to get out (no self-mini spell or teleport). I experimented a bit with platforms to no avail, and then experimented with boxes on platforms to... glitchy success.

You see the small and big box on the top platform? By placing the small box to the left of me, and then jumping in the air and placing the big box to the right, I was able to glitch the collision detection into teleporting me in a random direction. Three attempts equaled three different teleportation vectors, the third of which freed me from that trap.

Now, I like the idea that if I stupidly go for items without a way out, I'll be forced to starve to death or commit suicide. I just think the collision glitch was neat, and is easily repeatable.

I'll upload the save for experimentation.

In another collision-box-related note, you can spawn a box in midair directly under your feet, pushing you upwards and resetting your jump counter, allowing for infinite air jumps with good timing.

Edit: Save Uploaded, in the room in question.

Not a bug, you should plan carefully before powersliding into somewhere.

I created a video showing the teleportation glitch. I hope this clarifies things, and I apologize for not being concise in my original bug report.

I also apologize for posting this both here and on the forum - I didn't realize it was possible to re-open Mantis tickets until after I posted it there.

I know it looks weird, but, as I said in the forums, the alternative is worse.
