[NPC Pack] Super Mario Maker Pack, I guess. - v.1.2.0.2 Update

[IAmPlayer]

So, I made a bunch of NPCs from Super Mario Maker recently. This pack includes Icicles from Super Mario Maker 2, carriable Stone blocks from the story mode of Super Mario Maker 2, Burners from Super Mario Maker 1 and 2 with an additional variant for upwards facing Burners and with a whole new Rotating Burner NPC as well, and also "Convenient Firebars", a much more configurable firebar than the vanilla firebar, such as starting angle, firebar's movement direction, and orbit amount for easier ways to create two-way, four-way, or eight-way Firebars, but with a limit of 18 fireballs of length just like in Super Mario Maker 2 (might be changed if people wanted bigger length).

Version v.1.2 Update adds the menacing threat that is the Angry Sun! It spins in the air, then does a dive to attack you. There's also another variant in the form of the Moon, that can be touched by the player to kill all enemies on screen.

Wow, this looks really neat. I'll defenitly use something of that. I do have a Question: Can the Firebar be moved via an Event? The Orginal can't and that always bothered me.

[PROX]

Yay! It's finally out! I will definitely be putting these to good use! Well.....except for the heavy stone since victory conditions aren't a thing, and there's no real way to force the player to grab it.

Unfortunately, it can't. But I will try to get it to be able to work.

[LGLMAKING]

Woop woop, it is finally out! Might use it for my Nocavers level. Glad to have helped you with the burners

[MarioLover64]

Can burners use line guides like in nsmb2 bowsers castle?

It can, it's just not normally intended. You can still register it yourself though.

I discovered a bug that upon jumping the firebar block moves down a bit. Don't know if you were already aware. Just wanted to point this out.

[Murphmario]

Assuming the firebar comes with the block, would it be possible to add an option to make it not have a block?

Edit: I realized that you can just edit the code of the NPC and make it's graphics invisible to achieve exactly that. So for anyone wanting a convenient firebar without the block, here you go.

Completely unrelated to jumping. The issue is that all npcs with nogravity still collide with the ceiling. The bump event that occurs will give the npc minimal speedY. To fix it, block collision should be disabled for the NPC.

Also another thing: The icicles grow from the top left corner. Consider offsetting the x coordinate for the draw call so that x + 0.5 * currentwidth = center of the fully spawned icicle

[Teemster2]

These look amazing. Good job.

Ah. Thanks for noting that. I will also fix the firebar and burner block moving down as well.

Unrelated, but thank you for everyone who have been posting issues with this pack! I will get them fixed as soon as possible and release the fix once it's done.

[PROX]

Do you have any way of forcing the player to grab the heavy stone?

[Emral]

You can use player.holdingNPC ~= nil and player.holdingNPC.id == ROCK_ID (whatever that is) in onTick to detect when the first player is or is not carrying it.

[IAmPlayer]

Yeah, that code might do it. I don't have any Clear Conditions type of code.

[MECHDRAGON777]

One can also make it so you need to solve a puzzle with said stone. (If they want to use it currently.)

The collision would still be there though, so setting playerblock and playerblocktop to false helps as well.

Sidenote, a new Update is out! This update fixes issues listed on this thread, and also adding Rotating Burners and also allows customization for Burner Fire, enjoy and keep on creating levels!

So I'm trying to modify the graphics of the burner fire, and now the game crashed.

The game spams errors when an icicle hits the ground:

[Emral]

Sounds like it cannot find an effect of the corresponding ID. Did you rename any files?
