Also, where are the mouse co-ordinates on the world map?

Where do you put the code for stopping the screen from scrolling

There is no mouse in SMBX outside of the legacy title screen without adding your own through lua.

I said in my last message.

Uhh... I mean this.

Can the camlock.lua stuff be used multiple times, and can you make it print a message for entering it?

https://www.smbxgame.com/forums/ ... 06#p309990
camlock.lua is included in SMBX2 by default so you don't need to download it. The code snippit ought to still work when put into map.lua in the episode folder. There is no direct response when entering/exiting an area, but doing that manually isn't too difficult. It's barely more than a position check, after all.

Yes, there are plans to include stuff like camlock and spawnzones in the editor UI in the future, but the editor is currently not set up for that.

And there's no map.lua anywhere in the folder.

[Emral]

Uhh... I mean this.

That's not the world map. That's the legacy editor. Legacy editor is not supported.

And there's no map.lua anywhere in the folder.

You can generate one through the Script -> Lunalua scripts -> World map script button in the new editor.

Uhhh which line do i put it plus i bet ur an adult cause adults dont under stand kids

Uhhh which line do i put it plus i bet ur an adult cause adults dont under stand kids

yes he's an adult and you, as a kind, are being snarky to the person who's actually helping you.

The only snark I read in this topic is coming from you. I think you're overreacting.

Uhhh which line do i put it

Again, the code on the camlock page will just kinda work. Make sure to read the page carefully and understand what is happening. I cannot do much more than repeat what I have already written on other occasions.

And where is the mouse location?
I'm talking about THIS part of the last image.

And i have NO IDEA which line to put the code on
Is it the bottom one?

Added in 43 seconds:
Oh right it's where it says your code here
But still no idea how to find the x and y co ordinates

[Emral]

Right. Didn't see that.
Check the debugger. Or place down a tile and click right-click -> copy coordinates

[Nif]

One more thing:
Does the coordinates start from:
A) centre of square
B) Top left of square
C) top right of square
D) bottom left of square, or
E) bottom right of square?

[Emral]

Always top-left.

[Nif]

Ok just one thing...

Idea 1: What if we had more map icons, like cannons or the SMB3 levels?

Requires more in-depth map tech. Something like that is on the roadmap.

Huh...
I thought it was only four steps:
1. create new level id's
2. copy ALL level code from, let's say, the start level, and paste it into the code lines for the new level enterances
3. Add a texture for the levels
4. Repeat for all the levels

... Yeah ._. i betcha with a bit more knowledge i can do it.

Believe me. We know the steps. They're not what you said they are, but we're aware of them. The problem is that right now SMBX only accepts up to 100 level IDs, so adding the custom (751-1000) range requires expanding that through asm hacks. After that is done, it's just a matter of setting up ini files, so that they're visible in the editor.
The main reason why this hasn't been done yet is because it isn't as important as many other asm hacks that have been implemented. The world map is going to be more of a priority once we have successfully dealt with the current difficulties regarding multiplayer. If you think you can help us out, you can contribute to the lunalua repository by cloning it, implementing your asm hack and creating a pull request.

Yeah, about that...
I AM A DUMBO
well... i am not smart enough to do THAT just yet...
but i think i will be in the future
maybe

Uhhhh hoeloe?

This happened:

What do i do?

[Hoeloe]

You can't test world maps properly in the editor (note the process name for the testing window). Test your world map by loading up the game properly.

[Nif]

BTW hoeloe,
If you put this item in a block and hit it:



Will this happen?:



Will it?

Many. I don't know how much exastly, though The Grinder comes before Luigi.

Damn, a bug in English translations printing (I did fixed it, it was so silly)... Here should be a text that explains you should type the code of level exit. World map testing never starts playing of levels. Instead, it asks you to type a number which means an exit code. In dependence from an exit code, a specific path is opening. You can see all level exit codes and what they are meaning, in the level entrance point properties. Anyway, world map tester is a tool to walk on world map to look around it, and not means you will play the episode. Otherwise, play the game to have everything include proper lua support.

For Mario challenge, there should be some presets.Some you make yourself, but some are like:
100 Mario challenge - 99 1-ups, 16 courses, infinite re-rolls
20-life run: 19 1-ups, infinite courses, 0 re-rolls, one shot mode
Forever run mode: infinite 1-ups, infinite courses, 0 re-rolls
And stuff like that.
