how do i make dream blocks unusable until i get to a certain point in the map?

im pretty new to celeste mapping so sorry if its kinda obvious

in your map's metadata, there's an option for the player's "inventory". One of the inventory options is "old site"; this will cause dream blocks to be deactivated by default (but will also force madeline to have a backpack and a single dash). You can enable dream blocks at any time with the "Activate dream blocks" trigger (which can also deactivate them). I believe it's also possible to use an Event trigger to create a carbon copy of the vanilla mirror activation cutscene.

wait if the activate dream blocks trigger can deactivate them cant i just do that instead of setting the metadata to old site?

ooh i can

thanks for the help!!

Can you make dream blocks deactivated but also have a double dash?

[quasi tapir]

i did by setting mode to summit /ch6 end and then setting the "activate dream blocks" trigger to deactivate them

its a bit of a roundabout but it works

[daring orchid]

either method works
