Introduction

So, you want to know how to use these two types of one-shot heartbeats, but you are too impatient and don't want to ask around for help or something else like that? Well here's how you can access both the triangle one-shots and heart-shaped one-shots, because I didn't find these in the tutorial and maybe you're like me and are unwilling to use search engines.

Spoiler alert: It requires a text editor lol.

Heart-shaped Heartbeat (has Gotten Fairly Meta Lol)

This one is straight-forward. Open your saved level in a text editor and go to "events". In other words, look for something like this:

"events": [ { "bar": 1, "beat": 1, "y": 0, "type": "AddOneshotBeat", "row": 0, "pulseType": "Wave", "tick": 4 }, { "bar": 1, "beat": 1, "y": 1, "type": "AddOneshotBeat", "row": 1, "pulseType": "Wave", "tick": 3 }, { "bar": 1, "beat": 2, "y": 1, "type": "AddOneshotBeat", "row": 1, "pulseType": "Wave", "tick": 3 }, ],

Look for events of type "AddOneshotBeat".

{ "bar": 1, "beat": 1, "y": 0, "type": "AddOneshotBeat", "row": 0, "pulseType": "Wave", "tick": 4 }

Then, change the "pulseType" to "Heart".

{ "bar": 1, "beat": 1, "y": 0, "type": "AddOneshotBeat", "row": 0, "pulseType": "Heart", "tick": 4 }

Now, save.

When you open it in the RD level editor, that one-shot will be heart-shaped.

Why Are These Triangles If They Only Appear In Twos?

Alright, the fun ones. If you don't want to wait for the editor to include the triangles without doing the "surgery", here's how you unlock the power of triangles in your custom level:

...You do the same thing as the heart ones, just changing "pulseType" to "Triangle".

{ "bar": 1, "beat": 1, "y": 1, "type": "AddOneshotBeat", "row": 1, "pulseType": "Triangle", "tick": 3 }, { "bar": 1, "beat": 2, "y": 1, "type": "AddOneshotBeat", "row": 1, "pulseType": "Triangle", "tick": 3 },

Now, here's the fun part. They will play the sound automatically, as long as two triangle one-shots of the same tick value are put at most one beat apart.

Well, now that you know that, don't forget to also make the nurse say "Two" if you use them (don't worry, that can be done in the editor).

The End

That's it.
