[Custom Powerup V2.3]Phoenix Suit: Burn the House Down!

[Tempest]

My phoenix suit, although has the correct graphics, will only work as a flamethrower. I dragged the script in LuaScriptsLib, and put my lunadll.lua in the folder with the same name. I'm using SMBX 2.0. Help on how to solve this would be appreciated.

I'm not sure if I understood the question correctly but, for the script to actually work you gotta A) Put the lunadll.lua on a level folder, or B) Put the lunadll.lua on an episode folder and rename it to lunaworld.lua, otherwise it won't work.

But if the problem is with the Firecomet and Hover(?) functionality, you need to check if you're playing with Mario or Luigi (the only currently fully supported characters), and if you gathered enough speed to use their mid-air abilities.

If that doesn't solve the problem then I don't really know what to do. Maybe try posting more info on what and/or where the problem is so that I can take a further look into the code and see what's wrong.

Well, here's some screenshots of what I did:








(If you can't see the images clearly then just click on them)

And the suit works exactly like npc-279 (Propeller Flamethrower) except instead of looking like a normal Propeller Flamethrower, it looks like a Phoenix Suit.

It looks like your lunadll.lua is a text file (lunadll.lua.txt). Try showing file extensions on your computer (through the Organize menu in the file explorer) and then get rid of .txt. You should also not be modifying the LuaScriptsLib folder. Put custom libraries in the same folder as your lunadll.lua file. When you add to basegame content your version is no longer compatible with other people's version of SMBX

I don't exactly understand what you mean by this. Is there an organise menu in my file explorer? (I'm Windows 10)

Try View

Well, I did convert it into a lua file




However, now I get this error for some reason, even though I defined everything like it was shown in the original post

The file is called phoenixSuit.lua, so you should load "phoenixSuit"

So, do I just change the name?

No just API.load("phoenixSuit") instead of API.load("phoenix")

Well, I did do that:


However I still get the same error message.

I have this issue.



Everything works correctly but the player starts one block in the ground until the phoenix suit powerup is grabbed. The player sprite graphic seems to be offset somehow since when the suit is grabbed, the player is moved one block up and one block to the left.

EDIT: This happens if you start the level as "Big". Also like a stupid, I'm using the SMW costume from the costume block which affects this. Ignore this dumb problem because it's not really a problem. It's just me trying to make a SMW costume use a SMB3 style power-up which clearly this wasn't meant for.

Cool API power-up though.

That is certainly strange. All the times I've tested this powerup (editor and in-game) the player was correctly positioned, so I don't really think I can fix it as of now (it's most likely due to all the manual offsetting I had to do in the .lua file). And thanks for the compliment!

Hey I am not sure if this is an issue on my part, but I'm having an issue with the power up.

It seems that the power up isn't compatible with beta 4 though I may be wrong

[IAmPlayer]

helpfulCheats.lua is no longer a thing, so that error popped up.

[MarioXHK]

I wonder if this powerup could get revitalized

You could always ask the mods to improve it for The Rip Lair's Powerup Pack. Honestly, I'd like to see it revitalized and improved for B5 also.
