Fast Goron vase

[GSKirox]

In child Goron City, removes the cutscene of the vase spinning when throwing a bomb in it, and makes the item drop instantly instead of waiting for the vase to spin.

Testing

Tested that it worked (Retroarch) as can be seen on the video above. Here is a test patch of main dev + this change.
Starting in goron city as child with bombs/dins/magic/sticks.

Are you sure this would have the same timing as if the pot still needed to spin?
Does the pot come to a rest in the same position it would have before?

[GSKirox]

This is actually a concern yeah, and i'm not sure i can confidently answer.
The prize is chosen according to the direction the vase is facing 140 frames after the explosion, and the direction keeps spinning at different values the whole cutscene.
With this, it just looks at the vase's direction 1 frame after the explosion.
The important part is where the vase actually ends up facing, but yeah i can't guarantee the values are strictly the same with this. Maybe it's too risky of a change then.

How many possible rotation values are there? Would it be feasible to check the math for all of them?

[r0bd0g]

Doesn't it move in a circle in addition to rotating?

[fenhl]

Yes but I assume this doesn't affect the drop selection.

[r0bd0g]

The position of the vase matters if you need to go again, perhaps if you got the wrong face or are on shuffled freestandings or need to farm bombs or rupees. The position of the vase matters a lot for whether the throw is even possible, especially if you're not able to use bombs.

[fenhl]

That's true, I guess we should reset the position as well.

[r0bd0g]

I guess you'd have to calculate what the final position and rotation would have been and teleport it.

[fenhl]

Does the final position depend on timing? If so, does the final position affect the path the pot takes during normal movement, or only its starting point?

[cjohnson57]

Yeah I would say if the same prize per throw time is guaranteed then this is a good change, otherwise I would be against it unfortunately.

[GSKirox]

Yeah after looking at the code again, i really can't guarantee this is the same outcome, i'm closing this one, maybe i'll come up with a better way one day.
