Many thanks for your suggestions. I started from scratch with the svn code,
replaced all occurrences of "hero" with "VAR_EGO", and now the inventory
glitches disappeared. :-)
And Santa was indeed not constrained by the boxes, because this was set
explicitely for him by setActorIgnoreBoxes(). He also disappeared sometimes
when reentering the room, but I fixed that by moving the init code to
common.scc.
The only problem that remains is that Santa still has to be positioned
expicitely in the room setup. He disappears if I remove that code. This
means that he's back to his original position when Beasty reenters the room,
even if he moved around previously. Beasty, however, stays at his position,
even if Santa reenters the room, so I feel that there might be a way to have
the engine take care of them both. Any ideas why it works with Beasty and
not with Santa?
I made a diff, but I've never done diffs before, so you might wanna
double-check before applying it. Couldn't find a unidiff option, so I hope
it's unidiff by default. Alternatively, I can send you the files.
