SMBX2 (2.0 Beta 3)

hey, i made a good color pallete if anyone wants to use it.

Not only is this not related, but it seems pretty useless. It's poorly organized and constructed

it's too bad i can't delete the post.

Also, are you able to adjust blocks, just like npcs?

What do you even mean by adjust? That's so vague

Eh, I'll be nice and use it for some of the custom sprites, I make.

I'm thinking he meant hitbox or size and width.

Hmmm...
I wanna create some sprites based off of Final Fantasy characters.
But for what I had in mind...
How would one go about making the sprite not fall off the screen when killed?
Like, for the Final Fantasy characters, they just slump over instead. How to implement that?

You make the sprite that falls down invisible, then use the onNPCKill event to detect when an enemy dies, and spawn your own death effect that you apply your own code to (load the image, draw it in onDraw and handle any kind of animation on a timer in onTick).

Hmmm...

Sounds like to me that this would require some assistance from someone more skilled than I in LunaScript.

I could do the graphics part, sure; the rest...mmm...

You were literally able to do this since the beginning of smbx though?
And PGE automates the process so you literally have to do nothing aside from resizing your block.

This is, by definition, not a good colour palette.

If you're not confident in your ability to handle tables you're probably right.
This comes down to creating your own npc-like table for the effects and filling it with your own "objects":

Code: Select all

local effectTable = {}
function createEffect(x,y)
    local entry = {}
    entry.x = x
    entry.y = y
    entry.othervariable = whateveryouneed
    table.insert(effectTable, entry)
end

dont forget about the animation speed.

Please don't make off-topic posts like this.

That's not how block animation in SMBX works. Every block is tied to the SAME animation timer. You can essentially animate blocks yourself by drawing them with lua though.

Or by swapping their graphics out using graphic overrides.

"Graphic overrides" (assuming you mean the SpriteOverride stuff) are just CGFX set while the game's running. You'd still be stuck with the global animation timer and framecount, unless you mean SpriteOverride-ing on a timer which sounds like a bad idea.

An example of a block with a custom animation timer is the TNT block, which needed a per-block timer (as has been said, there is only one timer for blocks by default, and they all share it). That works by just drawing over the top using Lua.

Spoiler: show

    entry.y = y
    entry.othervariable = whateveryouneed

end

Yeah. It's not really my confidence, but just how little I know about it in general. I mean, yeah, I was able to figure out how to implement a few things with Megaman XII, but that was simply because it was practically spelled out for me. I'm all for learning everything I need to know, but to do this without knowing the baseline is just...how do I say it...ludicrous.

Of course, the interaction is also customized, correct? If hit from the side or jumped on, it triggers. Most other blocks don't do this by default.

Squishy Rex's is the best one on there and the shading is still super weird. I stand by Enjl on this one.
