Can I Make both players Link

[Artemis008]

Ok, so I got this ide while playing 4 swords for GBA, what if I make a 2D puzzle platformer in SMBX using the 4 swords concept. Would I be able to make both players Link (preferably different colors)?

I'm pretty sure 2.0 will allow multiple players to be the same character. It would be very, very difficult to do yourself though so I'd just wait

2.0 does pretty much nothing related to multiplayer.

Making both players Link is easy, making them different colours is less easy.

All you need to do is set the player ID of both players:

Code: Select all

player.character = CHARACTER_LINK
player2.character = CHARACTER_LINK

Making them different colours involves one of the following:
1) Managing powerup states so that each player always has a different powerup
2) Hiding the player and replacing them with a lua-drawn version (this is probably the most doable)
3) Altering one of the other characters to copy Link's mechanics (this is easily the most complex)

Ah. When I posted my message, I was remembering the issue with having a vanilla character and a 2.0 character being used at the same time. Accidentally applied that to this situation
