Drop/Throw Pot SRM Explanation

SeedBornToday at 5:38 PM
Because people had wondered about this -- your ability to place or drop a held actor is determined by 80 bit at actor + 5 (or rather held actor pointer + 5).  When that bit is set you lose the ability to place what you're holding.  So if people have issues related to this with deku srm, check what's there.


The 0x80-bit is set in a byte when the first hex digit of the byte has the 8-bit set.

0 = 0000
1 = 0001
2 = 0010
3 = 0011
4 = 0100
5 = 0101
6 = 0110
7 = 0111
8 = 1000
9 = 1001
A = 1010
B = 1011
C = 1100
D = 1101
E = 1110
F = 1111

The 8-bit is obviously set in any digit >= 8.


In current heap manip, the pot's address is 0x410F80 (assuming you break the sign at the start)

pot - guard = 0x200 and we care about the 0x80-bit at pot + 5 which is the 0x80-bit of the byte at guard + 0x205 which is 0x410F85 in this case.
