(Request)Is it possible to disable lua scripts when playing a certain character?

[Shodax]

Hello. I am using the AnotherPowerup script.lua and trying to modify it so that other characters can use the custom powerups and create sprites, but in what I do I would like to know if there is a way to disable that script when, for example, the player chooses Wario

Code: Select all

local littleDialogue = require("littleDialogue")
local anotherPowerDownLibrary = require("anotherPowerDownLibrary")
<<<      Script that I would like to be deactivated when a chooses an unsupported character[/color]


local ap = require("anotherpowerupSMM2")
ap.registerItemTier(800, true)
ap.registerPowerup("ap_acorn")
ap.registerItemTier(801, true)
ap.registerPowerup("ap_penguinsuit")
local ap = require("anotherpowerup")
ap.registerItemTier(968, true)
ap.registerItemTier(969, true)
ap.registerPowerup("ap_thunderflower")      >>>

local warpTransition = require("warpTransition")
twirl = require("Twirl")

Is there a way to achieve this?

one thing i immediately notice is that you're overriding (what i assume to be) the library table that stores monochrome's modified anotherpowerup with the default anotherpowerup. on the post for said script, it says "Using an unmodified anotherpowerup.lua file will lead to incorrect and glitchy behavior." so it's best that you move these into two separate variables (not to mention this will likely render the previously registered powerups useless even if this miraculously doesn't overwrite everything inside onInitAPI()? though i haven't tested it myself)
back on topic, the approach here depends on the exact desired effect. if you don't want the libraries to load at all, declare them without assigning to them at the top of the file, and wrap everything else inside a conditional statement:

Code: Select all

local ap_smm2, ap
if(player.character ~= CHARACTER_WARIO) then
	ap = require("anotherpowerup")
	ap_smm2 = require("anotherpowerupSMM2")
	ap.registerItemTier(968, true)
	ap.registerItemTier(969, true)
	ap.registerPowerup("ap_thunderflower")
	ap_smm2.registerItemTier(800, true)
	ap_smm2.registerPowerup("ap_acorn")
	ap_smm2.registerItemTier(801, true)
	ap_smm2.registerPowerup("ap_penguinsuit")
end

the caveat here is that if you are accessing these libraries anywhere else in the code, you have to wrap it with a nil check, for example:

Code: Select all

if(ap) then
	-- access ap fields here
end

if you want don't want to have to do this every time (and it makes no difference to what you're actually trying to do), then you can load the libraries anyway and just move the registering inside the if:

Code: Select all

local ap = require("anotherpowerup")
local ap_smm2 = require("anotherpowerupSMM2")
if(player.character ~= CHARACTER_WARIO) then
	ap.registerItemTier(968, true)
	ap.registerItemTier(969, true)
	ap.registerPowerup("ap_thunderflower")
	ap_smm2.registerItemTier(800, true)
	ap_smm2.registerPowerup("ap_acorn")
	ap_smm2.registerItemTier(801, true)
	ap_smm2.registerPowerup("ap_penguinsuit")
end

hope this helps
