[edit] Setup
The puzzle is made using 4 ELEMENT_PUZZLE objects and 4 HEAVYSWITCH triggers. First of all, place 1 ELEMENT_PUZZLE with OCB 3 somewhere in the room. It will be invisible, so you can put it anywhere. Below this object, put a HEAVYSWITCH trigger for the door you want to be triggered when the puzzle is completed. This is the dummy element puzzle, with a hardcoded effect.
[edit] Water element
For the water element puzzle, put 0 in the OCB of the ELEMENT_PUZZLE. Also enable the first codebit in the OCB. Below it, put a HEAVYSWITCH trigger for the OCB 3 element puzzle. In the trigger, check the first codebit and uncheck the rest.
[edit] Fire element
For the fire element, put 1 in the OCB of the ELEMENT_PUZZLE. Also enable the second codebit in the OCB. Below it, put a HEAVYSWITCH for the dummy element puzzle with again the second codebit checked and the rest unchecked. Also make sure the PICKUP2 object is defined correctly in the script:
- Pickup=2,Jerrycan, $0015,$0500,$4000,$f000,$0000,$4002
