OnStart does not. onStart does. These things are important.
Ah yes, the classic programmer's error of incorrect capitalisation/format. Can be very hard to debug if you don't spot it.
Sorry didn't realize I was programming directly in the forum. (sarcasm) Lmao! As long as it is known what construct is what and what code is what and what it's for, it shouldn't have to be in a 100% correct format unless you are programming the forum with lua using this thread directly.

How do you expect us to help you if you don't use the correct format? Syntax is very important and you have to assume that the people helping you are interpreting what you're writing as exactly what you understand and/or have written

I just want to change the kind of bullet ludwig throws from fire to hammer, but I'm too dumb to figure it out <:c
Would someone be kind enough to tell me what code would do that?

You guys are really that strict? What is this, a forum for Super Mario Bros X or coding format class?

If there's a difference between the code you write and the code you share, how is anyone supposed to find the real problems?

You could maybe kill the fireball once it spawns and spawn in a hammer. I don't know how to do that though, sorry.

PixelPest is right. I guess you don't
have to always use perfect formatting, but it would make things a lot easier for everyone if you did. It just helps to clear up misunderstandings and/or errors.
Is there any way to run .lua scripts while in the editor/ modify the editor? I want to make it easier to use.

Until Beta 4, the file needs to be named lunadll.lua rather than luna.lua.

Basically after beta 4's release, a lot of file names will need to be changed? What about file extensions?

All files will still be Lua files. Why would we change the file extension? Also SMBX2 is backwards-compatible with previous versions (with a few minor exceptions) and lunadll.lua files, etc. will still work

Code: Select all
local myCounter = 16000
function onLoop()
myCounter = myCounter - 1
Text.print(myCounter,0,0)
end
I'm trying to make a timer but I don't know how to make it kill the player when it reaches 0

Is there any way to at least rename blocks/npcs etc. in the editor?

If it's because you need help with understanding what the blocks are / do, then don't worry:
In beta 4, blocks will have proper descriptions and so you won't have to look for any definition etc.
Renaming blocks may be possible, but you may have to dive deep into the game's source code in order to achieve this.

in data/PGE/configs/SMBX2-Integration/items there should be folders containing .ini files
these are the editor's equivalent of npc.txt files, except the default values are there, rather than being hardcoded
putting copies of these in the level folder should mean that the editor reads those, if memory serves

You should also be able to rename NPCs using .txt files, though you can't have spaces for some reason.

Ok thanks. That's really useful, but I don't understand what all the tags mean. I'm experimenting with replacing graphics and some of them will need renamed, such as replacing a graphic with something completely different.
