I tried this and it didn't work, but the memory list on
https://wohlsoft.ru/pgewiki/SMBX_Player_Offsets
says that the player death state memory address is 0x13C. I tried both, but neither worked. Am I supposed to replace FIELD_WORD or something?

Also, is there no way to make music play faster?

My mistake it was 0x13E. Sorry.

To load a graphics use the Graphics.loadImage function with the argument being the file path. You can place the file in your custom graphics folder along with your lunadll.lua file and your file path will just be the name of your file. Then draw it with Graphics.drawImageWP at a priority of 5 (HUD priority). You also could possibly just use Text.printWP or textblox.lua as well depending on how complicated you want the text to be instead of loading an image file. There's no way to modify music files rn but you can just use a program outside of SMBX to change the speed of the music file and then load and play it in LunaLua

Also, will 4-players be added in Beta 4? When will Beta 4 come out?

Here's something I wrote just to see if it would work. It automatically handles the NPC contents of the block types listed in the shatterableBlocks table. Note however that P-switches will turn them into coins and they'll lose the contents data as a result.

Code: Select all

local shatterableBlocks = {4,60}

function onStart()
	for k,v in ipairs(Block.get(shatterableBlocks)) do
		v:mem(0x50,FIELD_WORD,0)
	end
end

function onTickEnd()
	for k,v in ipairs(Block.get(shatterableBlocks)) do
		if v:mem(0x08,FIELD_WORD) > 1000 and v.isHidden and tostring(v.layerName) == "Destroyed Blocks" then
			local n = NPC.spawn(v:mem(0x08,FIELD_WORD)-1000, v.x+0.5*v.width, v.y+0.5*v.height, player.section, false, true)
			n.speedY = -6
			v:mem(0x08,FIELD_WORD,0)
		end
	end
end
