How to make Player invincible during cutscenes?

Postby MAHreYO-loo-ee-gee » Sun Sep 25, 2016 12:18 pm

I tried different stuff in SMBX editor and made a cutscene. The cutscene works great but there is one problem.
During the cutscene, Bowser falls into the lava (like SMB1 Bowser death cutscene) but sometimes he also breathes fire. :(
Mario takes damage and if he is small, he dies. So, is there a way to make the player invincible during the cutscene?
Or... Is there a way to make Bowser not breath fire?

Put the player in a corner of the screen while the cutscene plays, or use another NPC that uses bowser's graphics.

It seemed to when there isn't breathing fire before the scene but sometimes he fires just before it. And I can't change the NPC because I also use him before the cutscene.

Create a Bowser BGO. Hide the Bowser NPC and show a layer with the BGO

Moving layer via an event

Yeah, I forgot.
That worked, but can I make the BGO appear right where Bowser is?

You'll have to use either LunaLua or have the Bowser set to Doesn't Move

How does attach work? Using attach to layer doesn't seem to work.

You can only attach NPCs to layers, not anything else:

Should the npc be invisible or something?
I tried attaching a Hammer Bro to another who has a layer but nothing happened.

Also, nice to meet you, been watching your videos.
Keep the work! :)

The NPC that's attached to a layer, you can make it invisible if you really want to unless you can use a background object that overlaps the NPC such as the SMB1 Bridge Fences, SMB3 Brown Bridge Fences, SMW regular blue Midway Point and Goal Gate and such. Also make sure that NPC is attached to the right layer.
