Gravity Chaos

## Mechanic information

### Effects

The school flips upside down and gray gravity flippers that change orientation will spawn randomly.

## Event description

Woah! Gravity is going crazy?! What has Baldi done now?

**Gravity Chaos** is one of the events in *Baldi's Basics Plus* and Demo Style of *Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered*.

## Gameplay

When the event occurs, the Super Schoolhouse or Schoolhouse flips upside down and floating gray gravity flippers will appear all over the hallways. If the player or NPC touches a gravity flipper, they will flip from the floor to the ceiling, or viceversa, depending on their orientation. While the player is upside down, the "Strafe right" and "Strafe left" controls are switched around, so in order to move right during that time, they must press the "Strafe left" key to do so. The position of the captions (but not the text itself) is also horizontally flipped when the player is upside down.

The player cannot interact with any character that is oriented opposite in their perspective, but it is only limited to characters who can interact with them directly.

If NPCs are oriented opposite to the player while chasing them, they will try to find the closest gravity flipper to correct their orientation. Therefore, NPCs will sometimes go to different direction to the player until their orientation is same as the player's.

After the event ends, everybody in the school will flip back onto the ground and all gravity flippers will disappear.

### Characters

Here is a list of characters showing whether or not they can interact with the player while in opposite gravity.

* - Can interact with the player at all times
* - Can interact with the player in some cases
* - Cannot interact with the player while being oriented opposite

## Trivia

### General

* This event seems to be a direct rip from, or partially inspired by Windows 95's 3D Maze screensaver, as both the game and the screensaver had texture-less, 3d hexagonal gravity flippers around a maze that flipped the camera around at the same pace. Despite this, it has not been confirmed if the reference is intentional.
* This event is possibly a reference to the secret code "53045009" for the You Can Think Pad in *Baldi's Basics Classic* and *Baldi's Basics Birthday Bash*, which flips the player upside down.

### *Baldi's Basics Plus*

* When the player or NPCs enter an area without a ceiling such as the playground or outdoor area, and the gravity is flipped, they will not fall as expected.
* There were some differences prior to V0.3.5:
	+ Gravity flippers could appear in an elevator. Even if the elevator is closed, they would still be in the elevator until the event ends.
	+ The time range was longer.
	+ NPCs would still try to interact with the player, but they kept moving around the player while oriented opposite.

## Glitches

* When the event ends before NPCs are in opposite orientation to the player, they will still try to move to the location where the closest gravity flipper to them was. Principal of the Thing prioritizes the gravity flipper, so he will ignore the player even if they got scolded by him.
* Baldi stops moving when he is oriented opposite and the closest gravity flipper is located at It's a Bully.
* In V0.3.5, if the player quit the game or got caught by Baldi while they were upside down, the captions would remain horizontally flipped. The only way to fix this glitch was restarting the game.
