Adding Time with LunaDLL Tutorial

[SuperWingedYoshi]

1.3.0.2 is just a slight update to 1.3.0.1, smwforever. It just had a couple of extra fixes or something.

Well, okay, but where can I download 1.3.0.2? This forum only offers a link to 1.3.0.1...

I try to add time in one of my levels, but it don't functions.

Spoiler: show

Code: Select all

///--LunaDLL Timer--///
#0

// Activate #5 after choosen frames!

Timer,0,5,1,0,350,0

// Time's up,now kill the player!
#5
Kill,0,0,0,0,1,0

#END

The time must be 5 seconds (is only a try). If there is something wrong please tell me it.

Did you renamed the txt as lunadll.txt and is it also in the level folder? (level.lvl \ level)
Also do you use the patched SMBx 1.3.0.1 with Lunadll.dll?

Thats weird...
Try if this works on your level:

Code: Select all

///--LunaDLL Timer--///
#0

// Activate #1000 after choosen frames!

Timer,0,1000,1,0,21350,0

// Time's up,now kill the player!
#1000
Kill,0,0,0,0,1,0

There is an issue with the Timer. If you hit a NPC where the Level ends (SMB2 Birdo's Crystal Orb, SMB3 Card, SMB3 '?' Orb, SMW Goal Gate, etc...) the Timer still runs which is not so good because it can be an issue if the Timer hits at zero maybe it can be a result, being destroyed during the victory.

Theres an function called:
DeleteEventsFrom,???,0,0,0,1,0
which can stop the killing event.

I'll try to disable Timer during that in the next version of lunadll. But I'm not actually sure how to detect if the level is being ended.

[DarkShadeX]

Why not try to add a kind of sensor when the Goal NPCS in the level doesnt exist anymore. (if you collect them)

[Melting Terminal]

Ahh, this is really useful, thanks! I was going to be making an episode and I was considering how to insert a timer into it, but then I learnt about a wonderful thing called LunaDLL. Anyway, thanks for making this tutorial.

How I can add 400 seconds to my level?

[FanofSMBX]

100 - 1.Second
350 - 5.Seconds
650 - 10.Seconds
950 - 15.Seconds
1250 - 20.Seconds
Multiply 1250 by 20.

Thanks, that's the best way to make sure the timer stops.
