customHealth.lua [v1.2] - New CHS with less features

[Marioman2007]

Title says it all, this is for those who just need a custom health system.
It has better code than CHS but less features. I felt like CHS was bulky so I did a little recode.

Is there a way to have custom hurt sheets for other characters aside from Mario, Luigi, Peach, or Toad?

Is there a way to have custom hurt sheets for other characters aside from Mario, Luigi, Peach, or Toad?

Code: Select all

health.VFX.hurt[CHARACTER_#] = Graphics.loadImageResolved(path)

CHARACTER_# must be a character constant: https://docs.codehaus.moe/#/constants/characters
path must be a string, for example - "customHealth/hurtWario.png"

Is it possible to have either this one, or the original be compatible with MDA's Sonic Monitors? Specifically having the bubble shield give infinite air while its active?

[Marioman2007]

Version 1.1 released!

Is it possible to have either this one, or the original be compatible with MDA's Sonic Monitors? Specifically having the bubble shield give infinite air while its active?

You can use this code (after loading customhealth):

Code: Select all

local monitor = require("monitor_ai")

function health.onPlayerHurt(event, p)
    if monitor.getPlayerData(p).currentShield then
        event.cancelled = true
    end
end

would it be possible to only have this code active in one section? i want to use it for a boss at the end of a castle but i don't want to use the health system for the entire castle
if it's not possible that's ok!

Is it at all possible to set a custom main and max health outside the default 3 main, 6 max?

Like if someone wanted to change it to be 5 for main, and 10 for max?

[Marioman2007]

Is it at all possible to set a custom main and max health outside the default 3 main, 6 max?

Like if someone wanted to change it to be 5 for main, and 10 for max?

you can use this code to do that:

Code: Select all

local health = require("customHealth")
health.settings.mainHealth = 5
health.settings.maxHealth = 10
health.curHealth = health.settings.mainHealth

Note that you will need to change the health bar sprites too.
Here's the layout to do that.

Code: Select all

Frame 1  - 0 health
Frame 2  - 1 health
Frame 3  - 2 health
Frame 4  - 3 health
Frame 5  - 4 health
Frame 6  - 5 health
Frame 7  - No health (used in the counting up animation)
Frame 8  - 6 health
Frame 9  - 7 health
Frame 10 - 8 health
Frame 11 - 9 health
Frame 12 - 10 health
Frame 13 - Daredevil health

TYVM, man.

Version 1.2 is here

More bug fixes, changelog in the main post.

I was testing this out, it worked great, but I'm not proficient in lua code, so I can't figure out how to make the life mushroom work.

[Just_Thomas]

Hello,
first of all: Thanks for your work.

But let's get straight down to business (joke):
I think (!!) this might be bug with the fire flower here.
Collecting the item gives health but does not increase the health bar.
So either I guess the health increase is not supposed to happen or the display does bug around. I guess it is the first one.


I hope I haven't overlooked anything here...

Edit: But that has nothing to do with the mushroom in the reserve box (after collecting the flower), does it? After all, it is not “activated”. Would be strange, if it does count as "extra health".

[PizzaNoob]

Is there any way to "hide" the bar when cutscenePal is active?

Edit: I actually found out my self LOL

[FutureNyanCat]

I reported that this script causes issues with the Defines.levelFreeze define, which will make it not pause the entire level anymore, because its value was always set via the onTick function in the script.

Consequentially it also prevents the basegame green P-Switch and SMB2 clocks from working properly.

Hey I found a bug with respawnRooms and customHealth.
Basically, when the player dies, they keep dying on and on.
From my understanding, whenever the bar is at 0, it kills the player no matter what. Is there a way in which I can reset the player's bar after a quick death?

Do you have v1.2? Because it works fine for me.

Yeah. Turns out I just had to change "local respawnRooms
pcall(function() respawnRooms = require("respawnRooms") end)"
to "local respawnRooms
pcall(function() respawnRooms = require("Scripts/respawnRooms") end)".
I have all scripts in a seperate file.

[AlphaBlue1011]

Came up with a way to make the health never go up past 2 without changing the main and max health values:

function onStart()
health.curHealth = 2
end

function onTick()
if health.curHealth >= 3 then
health.curHealth = 2
end
end

this could be useful in two-hit challenges. Also, just setting the main or max health to 2 or anything else seems to mess up how the health is rendered without making changes to the sprites. this is just a lazy way to make it display properly in a situation like this.
