[HOW TO] Infinite -?- Block Usage (Advanced Tutorial!)

Postby bambooPenArtist » Wed Jun 04, 2014 12:25 am

By clicking this link you may have asked yourself?
[*]Is he nuts?
[*]Why would you need one?
[*]Can't this be abused?

Well the answers to that are:
[*]No I'm quite sane.
[*]Hard Boss battles (To give the player, and maybe their keyboard, a chance at survival!)
[*]Yes like most thing in SMBX, if used incorrectly, can be abused.

Ok so how to do this, go to the event editor and make a new event.
Call it something easy to remember. I called mine "reset -?-."
Add the destroyed blocks layer to the toggle layer group, this will let smbx reload all the blocks you just destroyed so it is advised to do this in single section mushroom houses or boss area that don't have anything that is breakable like the smb3 bowser floor.
After setting up you event close the event editor. Now go add you powerup block.
Just pick any -?- block it doesn't matter what game its from.
Choose any power-up, mushroom are good fire flowers are great but never hammer suits unless the Boss or situation calls for it.
(Please no 1-ups thats just asking for 1up farming abuse!)
Click events and set the event we just made "reset -?-" to Hit.

Place you new auto renewable -?- block where you want it and on test and playing it should dispense power-up an infinite number of times on hitting or using a pow block only.

I remember this from ond of the classic episodes. I think it was 'The Princess Cliche'. There was a room with a giant ?-Block which was continously getting shot at. Mushrooms emerged from the block and moved towards the player.

yes this is the very trick... I think. I never looked into that episode to see how it was done.
My concept is a little more practical. Than one gave you just mushrooms.
My idea is designed to work with the Leaf, Fire Flower, or Ice Flower it will give you the mushroom first then the power-up you set.
I may release a level with a standard boss, showing the usefulness of this method.

Because you know not everyone who plays SMBX is an expert!

It's the same method. Yours can't be more practical.
The reason why the designer put a mushroom into the box was because it's the first toad house, which is located before the first level.
I didn't say I don't appreciate that you share this. I was just saying that I remember it from years ago.
