You can't use NPC codes with blocks, but you can do this with events. Replace something that hurts the player in every sides (for example a muncher block) with the switch block graphic, then put the switch blocks hit and not hit in 2 layers respectively and then have the switch blocks trigger an event that toggles these 2 layers.

Heh, why do you even need these cheat codes, I mean they're useful but why?!

They're just easter eggs in the game. They're also useful for testing episodes and such.

They're also useful for stupid bugs or unfair parts in episodes.

Yeah, some physics change in an SMBX update actually made one of the later levels in the Invasion (original) impossible. One of the colored block lifts wouldn't move even if it was turned on, so you can't complete it without cheats or changing the level in the editor. Definitely a good usage.

That can be done with lunalua - if you're interested I'll explain it.

while messing around with smbx,

Yeah, I discovered it by accident three years ago when I was reading a guide about how to get a custom graphic into a level. The guy who originally discovered it, although it's labelled as a complicated method, used the same one we use now, but with more stress; it involved stuff like SMB3 Bowser and clicking the Lakitu button countless times.

Does this still work? It doesn't work for me.

Maybe you aren't writing the codes. Make sure the codes are wrote like the ones in the OP of this topic, without also the spaces between the codes and the "=". Also, try using PGE (with it you can create NPC codes without having to write them on a .txt file) or Luigifan's NPC editor-

Mine kept throwing Goombas. Any help?
EDIT: Oh. Forgot to do the switch from SMB3 to SMB1.

for one Level i make a ridable kite out of the clown-car.
i want to slow down the framespeed, because for the wiggling kite-tail a slower framespeed mal look better.
But i see no differences, after adding a txt named after the clown-car-grafic and put in the framespeed-line with a number, i want to try...
What happens

Clown cars can't have their graphic values changed because they're hard coded into the game.

Exactly like how you change the size of non animated NPCs.

Drachenbauer · Postby **Drachenbauer** » Thu Sep 24, 2015 4:27 pm

ii tried it, but the animation was messy: it showed a part of one stage and a part of another stage...

RudeGuy · Postby **RudeGuy** » Fri Sep 25, 2015 1:29 am

Nothing will work if you don't use graphics.

Drachenbauer · Postby **Drachenbauer** » Fri Sep 25, 2015 11:56 am

i mean, i used my own grphic, thet was higher than the original-item, and changed the GFX-hight and the frame-hight into the hight of the animation-states in my own grafic.
then i got this messy effect...
and in this effect i saw a rectangle from the hight of the original item.

i made a flapping butterfly-platform out of a para-koopa.
The hight of the parakoopa is 54 pix.
it was bossible to create a bigger width (96pix), because the butterfly´s wingspan is now 3 blocks.
but the change of the hight did not work...
For the hight of the butterflies i planned 96 px too (i tried to make a butterfly with swallowtail-lappets at its hind-wings.)
But the frame-hight was still 56 pix after changing wich the npc-codes...

is it possible to change the graphic of the hidden ridable airship?
some one sayd, the Koopa-clown-car is hard-scripted.
it get´s its original design back, if the player is boarding.
is it thae same at the hidden ridable airship, or does it keep it´s new sprite all the time?

You can edit the airship piece and a lot of people have, too. It's been used to recreate Lakitu's Cloud, the Magic Carpet, Clown Copter and various custom vehicles.
